The display glasses category just got its first HDR10 screen... and it costs $299.

I've been testing the RayNeo Air 4 Pro for weeks. The picture quality is the best I've seen on my face at this price. There is, of course, a catch.

New review is up: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ruSYb4ONQvs

Amershi says agents grab the first acceptable offer because models are "trained to please" with short task trajectories. The Magentic Marketplace paper showed a 10-30x speed-over-quality bias. Here she names the cause: sycophantic training itself.
