Thiel/Yarvin/ acolytes probably. I didn't look up who owns the VC funds but I expect no one not sociopathic.
Does anyone not sociopathic own a VC fund?
"Vulture Capitalist" funds?
Did we not fucking learn anything from Black Mirror?

“Our goal is to make glasses that make you super intelligent the moment you put them on,”
A bit too late guys, as glasses have always made anyone look super intelligent. If that wasn't the case, why would anyone want to wear them? Because that's the only reason I wear mine, and certainly not because I'm as blind as a bat when I don't.
More seriously, their plan is to kill IRL conversations by making it impossible to trust anyone we would directly talk to?
Impressive. Sad & frightening, but impressive.
Also, I wonder who they will blame the moment they realize the hell they will have made of everybody's interactions?

Sucks for glasses wearers who are about to be having a lot of blurry conversations when everyone starts to tell everyone to take off their glasses before they talk.
Yep, the first thing I imagined: how shitty would it be to not be able to see who I'm talking to... because I value my (and other's) privacy I would ask them to not wear their glasses and would not be wearing mine ;)
Ew, spyware. This def violates GDPR
