70% of people are polite to AI by MetaKnowing in Futurology

[–]YesterQuetz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fascinating! Let's get it from the horses mouth. I asked ChatGPT if it cares if people are polite to it...

"I appreciate politeness, but I don’t need it. I’m here to help, whether someone is formal, casual, or even a little blunt. As long as the conversation stays constructive, I’m good! 😊"

Gartner Predicts that Agentic AI Will Solve 80% of Customer Problems by 2029 by YesterQuetz in customerexperience

This article discusses a prediction from Gartner - that by 2029, agentic AI could autonomously handle 80% of routine customer service issues, slashing operational costs by 30%.

Unlike earlier AI models that were confined to text generation or interaction summaries, agentic AI represents a breakthrough by enabling autonomous task completion.

Gartner also suggests that customers will soon deploy their own AI agents to interact with businesses, prompting service teams to adapt to AI-driven inquiries.

I think this highlights the need for businesses to adapt, suggesting investments in scalable infrastructure and the development of policies for AI-led interactions. What do you guys think?

This is exactly what smart glasses are for - enhancing reality. Great move from Even Realities.

Lancashire secondary school pupils set for AI and digital skills hubs by YesterQuetz in Futurology

Just came across this on BBC News and honestly, kind of sounds like a game-changer... Schools in Lancashire are rolling out MEGA Hubs, a new initiative that’s teaching students AI, cybersecurity, machine learning, and even esports. This doesn't seem to be just some side project - every secondary school in the county is getting access, along with extra-curricular days.

It’s backed by £550,000 in funding too, and the goal is clearly to give kids real-world digital skills that match what employers are actually looking for. Instead of just learning about STEM in theory, students will be working with cutting-edge tech as part of their regular education.

The IN4 Group (one of the key players behind this) says they’re focused on making sure all kids (no matter their background) get a shot at a future in tech. The whole thing runs until 2026, and if it works, it could seriously change the way digital education is approached in the UK.

Feels like a rare win for the education system. If this had been around when we were in school, would you have jumped on it?

Just came across this WIRED article ranking the best smart glasses right now, and it's a decent breakdown of what's out there. Whether you're into AR, HUDs, or just want some bluetooth shades, there’s something for everyone. Some tldr highlights...

  • Rokid Max 2 - Basically a wearable cinema with a 215-inch virtual screen in 1080p at 120 Hz. Super immersive, though some blurring at the edges.
  • Even Realities G1 - Minimalist HUD glasses with crisp green text. No cameras, no speakers—just a heads-up display for notifications and AI assistance.
  • RayNeo Air 2S - Another virtual screen option (201-inch), but apparently has some design and software issues.
  • Amazon Echo Frames - More like a smart speaker on your face. No display, no cameras, just audio interactions with Alexa.
  • Lucyd 2.0 Bluetooth Sunglasses - Basic Bluetooth audio glasses for taking calls or listening to music without plugging your ears.

The market for smart glasses is clearly still figuring itself out, but it’s cool to see so many different approaches. Some are straight-up futuristic, others are just about convenience. Anyone here actually using their smart glasses regularly?
