Meta has new AI glasses with a Neural Band that uses surface electromyography to detect tiny muscle signals when you move your hand and fingers.

They claim it's about “staying present” and “not breaking your flow.” But really they want to cultivate dependency. What good is “looking up” if you’re just looking at a screen only you can see? Great news if you want to pay $800+ for the privilege of tethering your attention to Meta’s technology all day long. There is a legit upside to the Neural Band for people with disabilities, but that's not why they developed it.
