Meta puts its AI assistant on a keychain

I can't say I am a fan of Meta's business but I do like this kind of thing which is like "inside-out" virtual reality, that is something that brings a digital character into the real world for us to interact with.

What is it with AI guys and having a "little buddy" on your screen? Half the vibe coded demos I see show some pixel-art character in the corner, everybody wants to put them in their smartglasses, etc. Do you really need a fancy tamagotchi to be your friend all the time? Maybe you could name it Jarvis, that would be original.

tech people will clown on this but I think its pretty genius The average person does not care to use their Muse to optimize their life for productivity. they use ai assistants to shoot the shit and maybe cancel subscriptions they no longer use. Anthropomorphizing the mascot and making tamagotchis is much better for engagement
