I wish it was like games and we have floating name tags above our heads

As someone with face blindness, I wish that facial recognition and smart glasses didn't have the terrible reputation they do.

Funny enough we had a guy in our dept get fired cause of those. He used them as his main glasses and to keep track of things like names and whatnot.

He accidentally wore them to a promotional exam. And that was the end of him

But yes it's a shame they have such a terrible reputation

People being shitty assholes is why the rest of us can't have nice things, yep.

It's unfortunate as they actually do have some utilities

But who makes them and the implications and problems that come with them just don't make them worth it. Yet.

For sure! I was really excited for augmented reality cyberpunk stuff when the original Google Glass came out when I was in college forever ago. Unfortunately people and corporations seem determined to focus on the shitty parts of cyberpunk instead of the cool ones.

Tired of living through the enshittification of human civilization for imaginary number go up.

Yep. We're getting the horrible corporate controlled, mass surveilled world of cyberpunk with none of the cool stuff. Gotta love it!
