Tyler, The Creator criticized Ray-Ban Meta AI glasses in an Instagram Stories post, sharing a Wired article about nefarious uses of the wearable technology and writing, “BOOOOOOOOOO!!! Anyone who uses these glasses is a real weirdo. These shits need to be banned. Ray Ban Meta who ever, I will continue to ‘complain’ about these.” Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has been promoting the glasses, built with Ray-Ban parent company EssilorLuxottica, which launched in 2021 and dominate the smart glasses market; Meta recently announced a new set retailing for $299, the cheapest pair to date. Tyler has previously criticized being filmed without consent, writing about surveillance footage of him in a Mexico City bookstore: “So annoying. Just existing, living, mind your biz and next thing u know it’s security camera footage of you just existing uploaded…” He also shared a post about a South DeKalb neighborhood’s fight against a proposed data center hub, writing, “Again, death to all data centers. The growth of water contamination is insane.”
