BREAKING: Meta just debuted ORION - the most advanced AR glasses prototype ever built. I was tapped by Meta to create the video for Orion which premiered LIVE at Connect. Which means I got to spend a lot of time with the device – considered as one of the... “North Star” products of the tech industry – which many believe represents the next great computing platform. Let’s break down some of the specs: ‣ 72 degree field-of-view, by far the largest of any AR glasses display. ‣ Optical alignment at the accuracy of 1/10 the width of a human hair. ‣ Powerful compute with low power consumption and heat dissipation ‣ Electromyography (EMG) wristband that lets you swipe, click and scroll while keeping your arm comfortably at your side ‣ Wireless compute puckshow more

How is this more social and ‘in the room’? You literally won’t have a conversation with somebody without an array of notifications floating around their head Also, the long term effect on eye health?

Insanely cool 🙏🏼🙏🏼

I wonder if they have built in corrections for people with problematic eyes that uses glasses. Like prism-glasses and such.

You’ve come along way man! Love this.

These will remain niche so long as people are too embarrassed to sport them in public.

NEWS: Meta has officially unveiled its $799 Meta Ray-Ban Display AI glasses. • Color 600-by-600-pixel resolution • 20-degree field of view • 5,000 nits of max brightness • 2% light leakage, making it hard for other people to see that there is a display • Gesture control with an EMG wristband that translates the signals created by your muscle activity into commands for your glasses • Comes with transition lenses, and the brightness adjusts depending on ambient UV light • Monocular: display only appears in the one lens • Microphones, speakers, cameras Meta: "The display is placed off to the side, so it doesn’t obstruct your view. And it isn’t on all the time — it’s designed for short interactions that you’re always in control of. This isn’t about strapping a phone to your face. It’s about helping you quickly accomplish some of your everyday tasks without breaking your flow. It’s the first product that takes microphones, speakers, cameras, and a full-color display backed with compute and AI — and puts it all together in a single device that’s stylish and comfortable." Hits U.S. shelves Sept 30th. Expansion to Canada, France, Italy, and the UK is planned for early 2026.

“There are more companies than ideas by quite a bit. Compute is large enough such that it's not obvious that you need that much more compute to prove some idea. AlexNet was built on 2 GPUs. The transformer was built on 8 to 64 GPUs. Which would be, what, 2 GPUs of today? You could argue that o1 reasoning was not the most compute heavy thing in the world. For research, you definitely need some amount of compute, but it's far from obvious that you need the absolutely largest amount of compute. If everyone is within the same paradigm, then compute becomes one of the big differentiators.” Ilya Sutskever

Great #ces2026 Report #7: The company inside the coolest AI products at CES. Makes low power AI chips inside a wide range of consumer products. Watches, rings, AI glasses, medical devices, all use their chips because they are best at running neural networks at very low power. I've been touring the suites all morning, getting a look at augmented reality AI glasses. It's quite clear that the Pickle glasses are not possible with today's technology, and I'll have a video up someday soon about that with several different vendors. So agree with others that it is selling something that isn’t currently possible to manufacture. I got a look at the latest state-of-the-art technologies that go into the glasses, and this is the first part of that. This gives you a lot of insights into the future.

By the time I arrived as head of production for Nickelodeon, ANGRY BEAVERS (1997) had already premiered. I will say, despite the tension between the production team and the network, the show was one of the best quality series coming out of the studio. From a technical side, it was a wonder to behold. Some of which you can see in this main title.

Just hacked my Ray-Ban Meta and built my own scanner with them The US has a lot of crazy products, so I built an app that explains what I’m seeing and where to buy it Used the Meta SDK to connect it with my smart glasses and test it in real life without looking like a freak

These are the Rokid Glasses A pair of smart glasses very similar to the Meta RayBan but powered by the AR1, with the addition of a Monochrome binocular Waveguide display for Live translation, Ai recognition, teleprompter, navigation and more. Plus like the RayBan camera and audio. The live translation was surprisingly good, and fast. They are already available in China. Hopefully we will get them in the US soon! They are just 49 grams! It's crazy to see how the smart glasses are evolving fast. #CES2025 #rokid The last video is from their Air Max 2 6DoF version, for AR at the museum!

SoftBank is creating the biggest data center. On Fox Business, Arm CEO and SoftBank Group International CEO Rene Haas was asked what he thinks about Meta selling compute, which could mean a compute supply glut. Haas disagreed, pointing to SpaceX's compute deal with Anthropic as proof of real demand, not oversupply. He said Meta's situation is similar, and that only a handful of companies, SpaceX, Meta, and SoftBank, have the financial muscle to compete at gigawatt scale, which is why SoftBank is moving in.

The traitor tried to sell the "heart" of a submarine for a pittance In St. Petersburg, law enforcement officers detained a man suspected of illegally exporting military products. The FSB reported that he was trying to transfer to a foreigner parts of the diesel engine of the main power plant (MPG) of the 636.3 "Varshavyanka" diesel-electric submarines. A criminal case has been initiated under Article 189 of the Russian Criminal Code. Any equipment related to the MPG of Russian submarines is of great interest to NATO intelligence agencies. Especially the "Varshavyankas", which are considered among the most "silent" in their class. At low speeds (2-5 knots), the noise level is estimated at 80-90 dB, which practically excludes the detection of the boat by the acoustic reconnaissance means of the anti-submarine defense forces of a potential enemy. Trading such equipment even in peacetime is a terrible crime. And in wartime, it should be punished as a betrayal of the state.

Elon Musk: Artificial intelligence will continue to scale until we've harnessed all the energy of our galaxy. “I think we'll see intelligence continue to scale all the way up to where most of the power of the sun is harnessed for compute, and then ultimately most of the power of the galaxy, sort of Kardashev 2, Kardashev 3 scale compute. One should think about artificial intelligence, not as a destination that you reach, but really as part of the overall escalation of intelligence that we are aware of. Human intelligence has also scaled as the population has increased and we've been able to store more and more information.” Interview at the All-In Summit, September 10, 2025

Cyrus the Great was not just a king of his time, he was also a Prophet of his time. On the evening of Monday 27th October, I started my speech at the British launch of the “Iran Front for the Revival of Law and National Sovereignty” at the House of Lords, with some words about Cyrus the Great. I stated that the name of Cyrus the Great transcends time and whose spirit continues to define the true identity of Iran. Cyrus the Great is a legendary person who represents equality, human rights, dignity and justice. He is inseparable from the true essence of Iran, far removed from the darkness that has since engulfed our nation. Cyrus the Great was a king of his age whose reign, over 2,500 years ago, was guided by justice, tolerance, and respect for human rights. He was also the liberator of the Israelites from captivity. #جبهه_احیای_قانون_و_حاکمیت_ملی_ایران #Iran_Front_for_the_revival_of_law_and_national_sovereignty #IRGCterrorists #آب_برق_زندگی

BREAKING: Zach Dell (Zach Dell) CEO of Base Power says " Chinese models are going to overtake domestic models in usage." "I spend a lot of my time thinking about energy, the country, & our ability to consume, generate, store, sell electricity. And I spend a lot of time thinking about China & their ability to produce & consume electricity. One thing that has been interesting to me is Chinese tokens & the rate at which they're being generated & the cost. My hot take is that Chinese models are going to overtake domestic models in terms of usage. If you look at platforms like OpenRouter & other online platforms where you can track model usage, I think the Chinese are gonna continue investing incredibly heavily in energy production. They're going to capture the Watt flop or the Watt token spread by turning a lot of that energy into compute. And that's gonna drive massive amount of usage in Chinese models, which just means we have to go faster. The US energy infrastructure industry has to go faster. We have to build power faster. We have to develop compute infrastructure faster. We must accelerate." "We're here at Hill & Valley, which has me feeling awfully patriotic."

"Compute is the currency of the future." "Compute is the new OIL." Great, so how do I invest? You can play with the NVIDIA stock, or spin up an AI-Ready Data Center. Challenges of Spinning up AI-Ready Compute: Cost: Even a small cluster of H100 machines is upward to $10M GPU Scarcity: Unallocated or “underutilized” H100, A100, and RTX4090 GPUs are almost non-existent. Very Specific Physical & Technical Requirements: A data center with the right infrastructure is also very rare. There are only 10 in North America that deploy thousands of GPUs, in the open market. Domain Expertise: Teams of experts with the years of experience required to operate, deploy, and manage AI compute at scale are as rare as the GPUs they deploy. Exabits checks all of these boxes and we are the premier Compute Tokenization Platform. We are backed by REAL COMPUTE used by REAL CUSTOMERS.

David Sacks breaks down SpaceX's path to $100 billion ARR by EOY: "The Starship test flight was successful... The heat shield worked. That's going to enable more flights of Starship now at a more accelerated rate." "That paves the way for the V3 satellite, which enables much more bandwidth for the Starlink network and the whole direct-to-cell play." "I think they said they expected to go from 1.4 gigawatts of compute to about 2 by EOY... $30 to $50 billion per gigawatt, and I think they are at the high end of that now." "When Elon says we're going to end the year at $100 billion of ARR, all you have to believe is that they are at 2 gigawatts of compute at $50 billion per gigawatt." "That doesn't include Starlink or the launch business or Grok + Cursor or any of these things, so I think that's why they are so optimistic." Elon Musk David Sacks The All-In Podcast
