First time seeing a “NO META GLASSES” sign in the door of a shop! I’m not surprised… and I expect we might see more of these kind of things in the years ahead.

A bit of overindexing going on re MacRumors' 'Apple has given up on Vision Pro' post. The teams that were necessary to invent this thing (something like 1500 people worked on Vision Pro?) are no longer necessary.....

Apple will reveal more AI features than ever before during WWDC, but they will continue to stay out of the user's way. Those that don't want AI can just ignore it or turn it off.

Apple 'has given up' on Vision Pro, report claims — costly price and weight behind purported failure, but the company continues to hire into its Vision Production Group

Reports suggest Apple may be shifting focus away from the Vision headset, despite ongoing hiring tied to its Vision Products Group, possibly implying otherwise.

This has been on my mind for *weeks*. I've been saying for a long time that it's possible to have an AI that only uses consensually-gathered content, is open source + open weights, runs on your own machine, and is designed to empower creators instead of exploit them. Well, we've finally got one. https://www.anildash.com/2026/04/28/one-good-ai-is-here/
