> but because society rejected or didn’t adopt that technology

I would argue that society would likely have been glad to adopt, but the profit-seeking motive got in the way (again).

Actually I think it’s the inverse

I was focused on augmented reality largely in part because it was such a big enabler of all other AI technologies

However people have almost uniformly rejected AR glasses my entire career for social reasons and that is only increasing

To the point where in 2016 I was debating with Jessica Alba and she was firm that they won’t take off cause most people don’t want to wear glasses
