🛰️ The Signal

This week’s defining shift.

Ad blocking is coming for the real world.

We’re entering a moment where editing the real world isn’t just possible, it’s something people want. And ads are the first to go. This may reveal a deeper desire for agency over our perception of reality and a fear that brands will take that control first.

🌀 Tom's Take

Unfiltered POV from the editor-in-chief.

When it comes to AR glasses, there’s no rush to put displays on our faces.

As much as I believe in the future of true AR smartglasses, the near-term win is all about AI glasses. These lightweight, stylish, audio-first devices have cameras that act as eyes to enable a smarter AI assistant and are not trying to replace your smartphone but rather complement it.

The smartphone remains the best screen we have, and it plays well with others. The right next move to get from our smartphone to our eventual wearable future feels like taking a baby step in phone co-existence rather than outright replacement. The near future looks more like Her, where if the AI has something to show you, you simply grab the screen from your pocket that you already have to check it out, rather than Iron Man, where it's all up in your face.

Starting with displayless AI glasses puts the focus on its killer app, AI. Once people experience the daily value of AI in a device they actually want to wear, everything shifts. It builds trust, creates habits, and sparks demand for more. Displays will come, but not as the starting point. They’ll arrive when users are ready, not when the industry is.

Keeping the device simple also makes it lighter, cheaper, and more wearable, which are also key ingredients for adoption.

To get to our post-smartphone future, we need to earn our way there. And AI glasses are the right first step.
