Amazon’s smart glasses leverage AI-powered sensing capabilities and computer vision, along with cameras to create a heads-up display that includes everything from navigation details to hazards to delivery tasks. When drivers safely park at a delivery location, the glasses automatically activate and the DA is given their delivery information—right in their field of view—starting with locating the right packages inside their vehicles to the corresponding homes.

(we) techno optimists still have hope...
but it is "complicated..."
"artificial" machine based intelligence, whether called "General" (AGI) or "Super" (ASI)
can either "augment" (expand, support) human intelligence, or "replace".
The first is a "good" solution, the second one is clearly "bad".
Now, since history can be a guide, and while it may not "repeat" it may "rhyme",
when mechanical machines are invented
they "augmented" human physical labor and unlocked "industrial revolution"
So we don't try to compete in speed with a train, car, airplane, we just "leverage" those tools.
And that works very well. "Augmented" mechanical power works.
For that reason I think we should start calling "AI = Augmented Intelligence" AuI
and treat it as such.
And the solution making this new AI power available for most people
should be some amount of free AuI tools.
Like "free" roads...

Announcing Agent Payments Protocol (AP2) | Google Cloud Blog
Google announced the Agent Payments Protocol (AP2), an open protocol developed with leading payments and technology companies to securely initiate and transact agent-led payments across platforms. The protocol can be used as an extension of the Agent2Agent (A2A) protocol and Model Context Protocol (MCP). In concert with industry rules and standards, it establishes a payment-agnostic framework for users, merchants, and payments providers to transact with confidence across all types of payment methods.
Tesla Robotaxi Reports 3 Crashes In Austin On One Day, Hides Details
