Episode Synopsis
So… five minutes before I hit record today, I did something I’ve never done before: I pre-ordered a piece of tech that hasn’t even been made yet. Yep, I dropped $299 USD on a pair of Halo glasses from a startup called Brilliant Labs.Why? Because the potential of these open-source AI glasses absolutely blows my mind.In this episode, I riff on:Why I skipped my usual “wait for reviews” approach and jumped in earlyAll the cool use cases I’m excited about—from hands-free directions to instant meeting recapsHow they could change my day-to-day life (and free me from constant phone scrolling)The very real risks: privacy, memory atrophy, and whether people will trust conversations when I’m wearing themThe bigger implications: what it means for memory, consciousness, and even being humanIt’s part Black Mirror, part life hack—and I can’t wait to try them out when they ship later this year.🎧 Hit play to hear why I’m both wildly excited and slightly freaked out about living with AI glasses.Sign up for free for my best articles every week: Work Fame.Show notes for every episode at https://podcast.leannehughes.comP.S.
