Meta along with Ray-Ban announced new smart glasses and the YT reviewers are praising it.

For me, I don’t find them particularly good and being a Meta product, it will be horrible for privacy. Also people can record others without their knowledge with these, hell no!

    No, even if it were open source, I don’t want to normalize an instrument with such potential for privacy violations.

      I straight up think people might start making EMPs in response to these. Image your doctor has them, would you feel safe?

        Haven’t given too much thought to be fair. Taking video on the phone is much more obvious, while someone with camera glasses could make the excuse “I’m not recording!” and you’d be hard-pressed to prove it. For surveillance cameras, you could know where they are and evade, throw a rock, or drape something over them, whereas you’d have to go up and snatch the glasses off the wearer.

        I also wouldn’t be against it if it were used legitimately to help with a disability, or for specific tasks like a HUD with vitals, etc when doing surgery. But for general use, I’m not comfortable.

        No, the one is fixed position part of some building and the other does not collect data on other people around it.

        Yet.
