I really would love an "AR" web. It'd be so cool to walk around a city and get fed real-time information about landmarks, history, cultural events, and shopping destinations—whether through smart glasses or simply a smartphone.

Unfortunately my confidence that any modern tech company could build such an AR web without it being based on horribly-invasive privacy-invading AI-training fascism-enabling user-hostile software is roughly zero. Thus the dream of AR will have to remain just that…a dream. Perhaps the sci-fi of it all should remain "fi".
