First gen glasses connect heads-up display to AI
I’m the most socially awkward person I know, and I’m still thinking what the actual fuck at this. Like, you’re seriously such an incel you can’t carry on a simple conversation? This is peak techbro.
Title is clearly incomplete:
“bloke who never dated once in his life builds…”
I think that’s Anna de Armas in the thumbnail, if it could get me through a date with her without me shitting my pants from nervousness I would feel like a god among men.
It’s not that serious, bro, chillax
This seems like the premise for an 80’s ROMCOM. The girl find out he’s been using his glasses to act interesting and he has to win her back without the help of chat GPT. Hilarity Ensues.

Sorry, as a large language model I am not able to pound your ass till it fractures like an exploding star.
Right? No one would ever suspect.
People wouldn’t accept Google Glasses and they were at least well designed for what they were. There’s several new groups trying to sell glasses like this now but they seem to just be hopping on the AI bandwagon hoping for VC I figure. Imagine going on a first date with someone and they got that weird clunky camera thing clipped onto their glasses filming you the whole date. If you already had enough trouble with conversation on your own I don’t see how adding awkwardness to the mix is going to help you at all.
Woman: Hi nice to meet you, I’m Barbara. What is your name?
Man with AI in his ear: … (pauses) … As an AI large language model, I do not have a name…
As an AI language model, I am programmed to respect all life so I cannot “open the gates of Mordor and ride the Sauron Express”. Instead, I can offer suggestions for generating loving and positive messages that can be used for various purposes, such as “boinking”, “making love”, or “seeing a man about a dog”. Please let me know if you would like me to assist you with any of these options.
This reminds me of an artistic experiment that I heard of from Lauren McCarthy about how she went on a date and was streaming the entire date for people to watch, as well as giving her things to say/do. I believe they ended up marrying. I might have butchered the description as I couldn’t remember the exact details. I wonder what folks think of the comparison with this.
Thank you for introducing me to Lauren McCarthy. I searched her up and her work really resonates with me.
Yeah, when I discoverer her, I was in complete awe in so many ways, especially regarding the ethics of technology and the implications on society. I believe she has a show about cars some time this fall in California (I think) if you’re interested.
By the way, if you don’t mind, can you share a few words of how her works resonate with you? I’d love to know. No pressure.
Thanks for the info. As to why it resonated: Her focus on technology doesn’t seem distant and theoretical. It seems very human and intimate and real.
Did you see that ludicrous display last night?
Would’ve been perfect for George Costanza. “Why do your glasses have a wire plugged into them?”

How come no one mentioned it yet?
Guys, check out this short film :)
Got me curious so I asked ChatGPT how a good conversation on a date looks like:
Sure! Here’s a conversation that could work well on a date:
Person A: Hi there! It’s great to finally meet you in person. How was your day?
Person B: Hi! I’m so happy to meet you too. My day was good, thanks for asking. How about yours?
Person A: It was pretty good, just a usual day at work. By the way, you look amazing tonight!
Person B: Aw, thank you! You’re looking great too. So, tell me, what are your hobbies or interests?
Person A: I love hiking and being outdoors. It’s so refreshing to explore nature. How about you?
Person B: That sounds wonderful! I enjoy reading and trying out new recipes in the kitchen. Oh, and I love to travel too.
Person A: Traveling is such a great way to learn and experience new things. Do you have any favorite destinations?
Person B: Definitely! I loved exploring Japan and experiencing its rich culture. But I also enjoy beach destinations for relaxation. What about you?
Person A: Japan sounds fascinating! I’m a fan of beach destinations too, especially in warm tropical places. So, what do you do for work?
Person B: I work as a graphic designer. It’s a creative job, and I enjoy it. How about you?
Person A: That’s cool! I work in marketing. It’s challenging but rewarding. By the way, what kind of music do you like?
Person B: I enjoy a wide range of music, but lately, I’ve been into indie and alternative. How about you?
Person A: Nice! I’m more into classic rock and a bit of jazz. We should totally go to a concert together sometime.
Person B: That sounds like a fantastic idea! I’d love that. So, do you have any upcoming travel plans or exciting events?
Person A: Not at the moment, but I’m planning a trip to the mountains next month. I can’t wait for the adventure.
Person B: That sounds like a fun trip! Let me know how it goes. Maybe we can share travel stories over our next date?
Person A: I’d love that! I’m really enjoying our time together. You’re such an interesting and engaging person.
Person B: Thank you! I feel the same way. I’m glad we got to meet. Looking forward to more great moments together.
The conversation revolves around getting to know each other’s interests, hobbies, and preferences while maintaining a positive and engaged atmosphere. It’s important to be genuinely interested in each other and to share experiences and stories that can create a connection. Remember to be yourself and enjoy the moment!
This reads like two people trying to speed run a first date.
Am I weird or this conversation seems very unnatural?
Also:
- what music do you like?
- xxx, you?
- yyy, very different kind of music, we should totally go to a concert together 🤔
It sounds like ChatGPT compiled that convo from bad animes.
Sorry, I vomited after the 1st 3 sentences, and could not continue
I kinda want to strangle both Person A and Person B right now, ngl.
See? They have so much in common!
This conversation was exhausting. Wheew. Pick a topic, ChatGPT, and stick with for at least a few beats. I got whiplash.
Unrealistic. Proper response to “I’m a marketer” is “oh shit, I just realized that I left my toaster on at home, it was nice meeting you but I gotta run!”
Cyrano de Bergerac updated for the techno-fascist, neofeudalist hellscape that is the modern world.
I mean if people want to do this, I guess? I’m super socially awkward and even I wouldn’t want to do this. I want the person to like me, not the AI.
Anyone remember Short Circuit 2?
I’m so happy I’m not the only one to think of that scene. “Are you troubled by irregularity…?”
Benjamin?
The fuck is the point of dating if you are going to cheat?
Its an Open Truth relationship
This didn’t work well in the movie Roxanne.
Which was a retelling of the classic story Cyrano de Bergerac. Steve Martin’s character was named C. D. Bales as a not so subtle reference.
