The Vergecast episode covers Meta's latest announcements at Meta Connect 2026, including the Muse AI assistant and new hardware, whilst addressing privacy concerns surrounding wearable cameras. Zuckerberg defends Ray-Ban Meta glasses by highlighting their notification light for photography, contrasting with phones' lack of such an indicator. The episode explores whether consumers will trust Meta sufficiently to integrate their services with Muse, given previous privacy concerns.
