Zuck’s Glasses, Your AI

Hi AI Futurists,

Zuck’s new smart glasses just blurred the line between wearables and ambient AI. With displays inside the lenses and gesture control on your wrist, your assistant now lives on your face, not your phone. Let’s take a look.

Here’s our agenda.

Best,
Lex Sokolin

They’re a private company, but Pacaso just reserved the Nasdaq ticker “$PCSO.”

No surprise the same firms that backed Uber, eBay, and Venmo already invested in Pacaso. What is unique is Pacaso is giving the same opportunity to everyday investors. And 10,000+ people have already joined them.

Created a former Zillow exec who sold his first venture for $120M, Pacaso brings co-ownership to the $1.3T vacation home industry.

They’ve generated $1B+ worth of luxury home transactions across 2,000+ owners. That’s good for more than $110M in gross profit since inception, including 41% YoY growth last year alone.

And you can join them today for just $2.90/share. But don’t wait too long. Invest in Pacaso before the opportunity ends September 18.

Invest While You Still Can

Meta just dropped its latest line of smart glasses at the company’s Connect event, and this time they come with a tiny display inside the lens, blending AI with everyday eyewear. The Meta Ray-Ban Display glasses are designed to make interacting with tech more seamless, letting users message, view photos, take calls, and even navigate directions without ever pulling out a phone. Mark Zuckerberg calls glasses “the ideal form factor for personal super intelligence,” and with these, the idea is to stay present while still accessing your digital world.

The glasses include a discreet display visible only to the wearer, and are paired with a new “neural wristband” that lets you control the interface using subtle hand gestures. Meta also showed off new Gen 2 Ray-Ban glasses with longer battery life and upgraded video capture, as well as a $499 Meta Oakley Vanguard line for sports and outdoor use, which includes better speakers, water resistance, and workout tracking synced with Garmin and Strava. EssilorLuxottica says demand is strong, with plans to produce 10 million pairs annually by 2026.

While Google Glass fizzled over a decade ago, the tech has caught up. Meta’s bet is that smart glasses are finally ready to break through and the shift from screen to lens could change how we experience and capture the world. As Zuckerberg put it, these devices are for moments when you want AI “to make you smarter, help you communicate better, improve your memory, improve your senses.” Here’s the full article, and here’s a closer look at the tech. Whether this becomes a staple of future life depends on if the blend of utility and invisibility can outweigh the occasional awkward glitch.

Tech that fades into the background while boosting cognition could be a game-changer not just for convenience, but for how we work, create, and remember.
