    The Always-On Era: Meta Glasses, Omi Pendants, and the New Rules of Recording

    In this episode of AI Lab Unfiltered, Drew Beach (BizStream) and Pete Terran (New Wave) dig into the fast-evolving world of AI-powered devices—smart glasses, recording pendants, and the “always-on” assistants that are starting to feel normal. They talk through the real questions people are bumping into: etiquette and consent, security and privacy, and whether these tools amplify your attention—or quietly replace your critical thinking. From networking use-cases (remembering names, capturing conversations) to everyday life (finding your keys, navigating a city, even making healthier choices), they explore what’s already possible today—and what’s coming next as wearables get more personalized, more proactive, and yes… more ad-supported. By the end, they land on a simple challenge: the tech is here—so what rules do we need before it’s everywhere?  Chapters(00:00) Intro + ThinkTank Shoutout(01:40) Why We’re Talking About AI Wearables(02:53) Privacy, Consent & “Always-On” Recording(04:43) Real-World Test: Using an AI Pendant in NYC(07:12) Networking Superpowers (Names, Memory & Follow-Up)(09:22) Heads-Up Displays & AR Navigation(10:46) Visual Memory: Finding Keys, Ketchup & Context(12:49) Facial Recognition & AI-Driven Human Connections(17:18) AI as a Behavioral Coach (Food, Fitness & Habits)(20:16) AI vs Medication: Behavior Modification Debate(25:44) Hyper-Personalization vs Advertising Overload(32:34) Final Thoughts: Buying the Glasses & What’s Next
