DuckDuckGo should apply this lesson to their search engine!

    I maintain that this should be the default behavior and the AI be opt-in

    I would argue a good 99% of what we experience in life should be opt-in and yet here we are. Use of AI, companies getting our data, etc is all opt-out meanwhile organ donation is opt-in. Wtf.

    When you use the site for the first time and search something where AI overview is available, it shows a toggle for how often you want to see it, with "sometimes" as middle ground being the default. Without showing that a feature exists, it's hard to decide if you want to use it or not. And since peoples opinion about it seems pretty spit, I think that is pretty valid.

    Or would you rather have a cookie-popup like choice box pop up every time you use the service without cookies enabled asking you for your preference? Because that would annoy me very much.

    I took the time to read the fine print, and these glasses appear to sense the vector of reflected light and specifically filter out waves with a horizontal orientation. The processimg power needed to do this will mean these must have an uncomfortably large battery or require frequent charging.

    Well not nothing. They do block the sun.

    The most wild feature avout my sunglasses are that they have air pockets in the arms so they float if dropped in water.

    But of course it does something. It blocks light, and let a man stare at boobs discreetly.

    People will constantly cry about the fact that I'm not putting on sunscreen while they're going out in the sun without sunglasses.

    People are dumb. I could technically remove a cancerous mole myself, I can't remove eye cancer myself. Or somehow unfuck my eyes once they're damaged.

    Normalizing glasses that look like Facebook perv glasses isn't something I would want.

    That's cool. Way cooler if they were polarized though.

    I have a pair of prescription, self darkening lenses in cheap frames that look like the DDG ones, and no one has ever given me a second glance when I wear them in public places.

    On an only semi-related note, photochromics are super dope and are definitely one of those technologies that make me feel like I'm living in the cool future we were promised.

    While we're talking about glasses technology, it seems like oil resistant coatings have finally gotten really good. My eyebrows are pretty oily and would smear on the top middle corners of my glasses all the time. But my latest pair just has a tiny bit of smudging there. I can press them against my face and wiggle my eyebrows right against them and it's still only a bit smudged.
