When people really understand what Meta glasses etc are, they generally don't pick "this is the future I want".

The future comes at you fast and it generally does not ask if you want it.

A non-slop and non-freemium variant:

People would generally oppose all such devices if they had a real picture of what's going on.

What is going on that I don’t know about?

Correct, and nothing wrong with that.

"Kidnapping innocents bad but imprisoning criminals good?? Inconceivable!"

https://messages.google.com/web/ is one way I'm aware of, I'm sure there's others depending on the messages app used.

Any providers hosting it outside of China?

Right now there's at least two: https://openrouter.ai/z-ai/glm-5.3-flash

Give it a day or two. More will pop up.

I don't see anyone other than ZAI yet but GLM 5.2 is available on many providers worldwide so I'd expect we'll see the same on this one soon.
