In this episode, Emily Laird breaks down Meta’s latest smart glasses lineup: the Ray-Ban Display (complete with a mini screen in your eyeball), the Oakley Vanguard (for outdoorsy cyborgs), and the Ray-Ban Gen 2 (TikTok-ready, dystopia-lite).

We talk wrist-reading Neural Bands (yes, wrist), 3K cameras, cloud-powered AI, and whether that blinking LED really makes you not a creep in public. Spoiler: it’s complicated.

OpenAI’s rumored $300 billion cloud pact with Oracle isn’t just another tech headline, it’s a sci-fi-sized bet on the future of AI. Host Emily Laird is talking 4.5 gigawatts of data center capacity (that’s two Hoover Dams of electricity), millions of GPUs, and enough water to make Vegas sweat. In this episode, we break down what “Stargate” really means: the billion-dollar backroom deals, the looming power crisis, and why grid stability might matter more than chips in the AI race.
