2024 will be β€˜The year of AI glasses’

Hardly anybody talks about β€œAI glasses,” but by the end of the year, many users will be wearing them every day.

I am likeing Tweesecake. This is nicely done.
I just tried logging in with my phone number through Unigram. I can enter a phone number and receive a dialog box asking for a code but do not receive a code through SMS. This really looks like a telegram thing.
When I try to set up a new telegram session on Tweesecake, I am asked for a code but not a phone number. Is this expected? Where does this code come from? I thought it was a code issued through SMS.

So a goal I have this year is to build an app that can get image descriptions from #OpenAI as others have done, but I think that the approach should be to do a local OCR of the image and then send that data along with the image for better descriptions. What is everyone's thoughts on this approach?
Well, I just got Twesecake working again. How can I stop NVDA from autoreading the current post I have highlighted in a buffer every time something else updates in another buffer. I have to be focused on a post for this to happen.
