Seems likely to run afoul of two-party consent laws.
Are they "drop outs" or were they 'asked' to leave the establishment?
Thiel/Yarvin/ acolytes probably. I didn't look up who owns the VC funds but I expect no one not sociopathic.
Does anyone not sociopathic own a VC fund?
"Vulture Capitalist" funds?
Did we not fucking learn anything from Black Mirror?
"The Entire History of You?"
People missed those are warnings. They have no imagination so they took those as advices or even manuals. In a sense, they learnt.
Right wing people seem to have no media literacy.

i'm glad that my own vanity will prevent me from getting these. lol
“Our goal is to make glasses that make you super intelligent the moment you put them on,”
A bit too late guys, as glasses have always made anyone look super intelligent. If that wasn't the case, why would anyone want to wear them? Because that's the only reason I wear mine, and certainly not because I'm as blind as a bat when I don't.
More seriously, their plan is to kill IRL conversations by making it impossible to trust anyone we would directly talk to?
Impressive. Sad & frightening, but impressive.
Also, I wonder who they will blame the moment they realize the hell they will have made of everybody's interactions?
edit: typos
Sucks for glasses wearers who are about to be having a lot of blurry conversations when everyone starts to tell everyone to take off their glasses before they talk.
Yep, the first thing I imagined: how shitty would it be to not be able to see who I'm talking to... because I value my (and other's) privacy I would ask them to not wear their glasses and would not be wearing mine ;)
Ew, spyware. This def violates GDPR
