Meta is adding ridiculous ‘rate limits’ and a soft paywall to its smart glasses

TL;DR

Meta is adding ridiculous ‘rate limits’ and a soft paywall to its smart glasses “All AI glasses owners get free monthly usage for certain features.” “All AI glasses owners get free monthly usage for certain features.” Problem is, Meta’s rate limit is ridiculous. The Conversation Focus feature, which amplifies the voice of the person you’re speaking to so you can hear better in noisy environments, is not something that should plausibly be rate-limited, because it doesn’t use Meta’s servers. It runs on-device, using the chips inside the glasses that you’ve already purchased.
