Snap's first pair of AR glasses are certainly full of big ideas. But after an afternoon of testing at Snap’s offices this week, I’m skeptical of whether they’ll be fully ready for primetime. Read more from @jaypeters.net:

I finally tried Snap Specs. Big? Yes. Everyday glasses? No not exactly. But also I really want to try these at an immersive theme park or theater experience. More here www.cnet.com/uncategorize...

A business tool, or a theme park for my face? Right now I’m leaning toward the latter.

I got to try Snap's Specs AR glasses. Snap really wants them to be the next great computing platform. But I'm skeptical that they will be ready for primetime. www.theverge.com/tech/996422/...

Rockstar is clearly trying to further blur the lines between Hollywood and video games. They wedged a video game trailer between prestige TV and streaming hit movies — after watching the GTA VI preview, Netflix is suggesting I watch Breaking Bad next. Read more from @jaypeters.net:

I spent seven hours yesterday trying to chase down a guy going by the name of John Bigwalk, Big Walk's own mischievous, merry wanderer who has a "golden radio voice" and is making community-led public lobbies a lot more interesting.

A lot of the camera direction in Higgsfield's new AI movie immediately reminded me of Edgar Wright's films. Was wholly unsurprised to find Wright and Guy Ritchie's names explicitly mentioned in the AI movie's prompts
