I feel like a tween with embarrassing parents when it comes to the human race. "I'm not with them!!!" Is what I'll scream when the aliens come...
- I think aliens would be horrified by so many things we do (or don't do!) that wearing an entertainment device on your face wouldn't even break the top 100.
  
  ETA: The guy in the cyber truck though. That might get shown as an example in some of the other items in their list.
  
  Honestly I just would love to be a fly on the wall as someone explained Easter to them...
- I welcome the end of 90% of the human race.
Come on, it's a prank.

As in Tim Apple pranked them out of 3.5k.
- Still, I wouldn't be surprised if this was the norm 20 years from now.
  
  Nah, it will be an implant in 20 years. Lol
- Thank you Tim Apple
The gym one is a pretty solid idea, I dig it. The others feel like they were done for the memes (the gym one probably was too, but definitely the guy crossing the street).
- Except the sweat.
  
  I have had my share of "exercises" with VR headset on and the sweat is real.
  
  Dude just wearing the damn thing makes me sweat lol
- Transit is also fine. They’re not getting in anyone’s way or risking anyone’s harm.
  
  Walking is actually one major use case for the future. Imagine walking somewhere and having turn by turn directions provided for you. The issue with this person is that they stopped in the middle of the road to adjust something on their screen. Also, I don’t think walking directions is even a feature yet.
  
  There’s obviously something already wrong with the Cyber Truck driver. I mean… they bought a Cyber Truck.
  
  One step away from cybertruck+neuralink.
  
  Imagine walking somewhere and having turn by turn directions provided for you
  
  Imagine having a phone
They killed google glass for this?
- Google glass was more camera than display These seem to be more about display than camera. Still an outrages intrusion of privacy
- O.o Apple killed Google Glass?
  
  I should clarify that "they" in this context is the consumer, who rejected Google Glass for a multitude of reasons, but embrace this product which is essentially the same thing, except bulkier. I can't really wrap my head around it.
Looks like someone needs they're license privileges revoked.
- It's a Tesla, the AI drives.
  
  Does it matter? Tesla requires you to still keep your hands on the wheel and pay attention, and not everyone will know that they are using autopilot, and considering she's driving a cybertruck which is bulletproof and durable as shit, imagine what would happen if the autopilot stopped working for some reason and she didn't know.
So if a Cybertruck runs me down in a crosswalk, does my newly widowed wife sue Tesla or Apple?
- Both? Both!
  
  Both is good
- Yes!
To me it looks like rage bait.
- I wanted a discussion, not to provoke rage. Some might agree, others not.
  
  I'm not talking about your intentions. I'm doubting the authenticity of those clips. The clips look produced to induce rage in people, because rage drives up engagement, and engagement drives up exposure.
Clearly apple does not allow porn on these devices! /s
- I assume porn being one of the key selling points
This music is from the Annihilation score, right?
- Works very well with the visuals.
- Thanks, I was watching on mute and wouldn’t have known they used the song on the video if I didn’t see your comment.
This looks like a episode of black mirror
(Google) Glasshole... (Oculus) Questhole... (Apple) _?_hole
Hardly seems different than every fucking human in existence walking around with their eyes glued to their phones
- Those were my initial thoughts as well. The device may differ, but it's basically the same thing.
