A major tech giant just made moves in the AI wearables space. Meta scooped up Limitless, a startup focused on AI-powered wearable devices.



What makes this interesting? The timing. This deal landed right after Meta brought in Alan Dye from Apple – you know, the guy who shaped Apple's design language for years. Clearly someone's serious about hardware.

The pattern's obvious: Meta's not just dabbling in AI anymore. They're assembling the pieces for consumer hardware that actually thinks. First the talent, then the tech. Whether this translates to products people want? That's the real question.

But the signal's clear. Big players see AI wearables as the next frontier, not just another gadget category.

Hmm, whenever Alan Dye makes a move, Meta follows immediately. Are they really preparing for something big this time? --- Is this another round of fundraising, or will there actually be a real product launch? Let's wait and see. --- With this acquisition of Limitless, it feels like Meta is trying to make a comeback with wearable hardware. --- The hardware path isn’t an easy one—let’s see how long they can stick with it. --- All the big companies are eyeing wearable devices now. Hopefully, it won't end up unfinished again this time. --- From poaching talent to acquisitions, the logic chain is pretty clear. The real question is whether users will buy it in the end. --- Is AI wearables really the future? I have my doubts.

ngl, this move by Meta feels a bit like making a comeback, but whether they can actually pull it off is still up in the air.

ngl meta played this hand pretty well, poaching Alan Dye shows they're serious Wait, another wearable device? Can this thing really take off? Wow, Meta is getting into hardware, now this is getting interesting By the way, how come I've never heard of this Limitless company... but if Meta picked them, they must be onto something Hardware + AI + backing from a tech giant, 2025 is going to be a bloodbath Meta is throwing money like crazy, just not sure if users will buy it Meta is coming into the AI wearables space, what does Apple have to say about that? Design genius + AI startup, that combo is definitely appealing

Meta again, are they really going to make hardware this time? I respect Alan Dye’s skills, but whether the product will flop is still up in the air. --- Limitless got acquired... Feels like another creative team swallowed by a tech giant, wonder if it'll end up shelved in the end. --- AI wearables really are the next big thing, but Meta's execution... Well, let’s wait and see. --- Poaching talent and acquisitions, this combo move is serious. Now it just depends on whether users will buy in. --- Hardware design genius + AI innovation company sounds great on paper, but what about the actual product? --- Whoa, is Meta going head-to-head with Apple now? This is getting interesting. --- I've never heard of Limitless. Is it another small team getting steamrolled by a big tech company?

Meta is working on hardware again, and this time it actually seems interesting. Wait, Alan Dye is here? That guy is serious. It's the same old formula of talent + technology, hard to say what they’ll come up with. Wearable AI is definitely the next wave of opportunity, whoever gets there first will reap the rewards. Honestly, looking at Meta’s moves, it really doesn’t feel like they’re just messing around.

Meta is at it again. Are they really going all in on the hardware dream? --- Alan Dye joined, and Limitless got acquired right after. This plot is pretty obvious. --- Another "thinking hardware"? Honestly, who really wants this thing? --- Wait, is this just another money-burning hardware scheme? --- The mix-and-match game continues. Let's see what comes out in the end. --- Designer + chip startup—Meta really wants to dominate the wearable device track. --- So is AI wearables the next gold mine or a pitfall? Since they're buying everything up, let's just watch. --- The big players are now competing over wearable devices. Hilarious. --- Starting with talent poaching, huh? They’re really taking this seriously. --- Can you imagine wearing a "thinking hardware" every day? The Silicon Valley dream is just too alluring.

Another acquisition—Meta really knows how to play the game. Poaching talent from Apple and then buying out the whole team, this strategy is all too familiar.
