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!
Even open source, it should not happen. Nobody should have a camera on them that isn’t identifiable as recording them. Phones are bad enough but at least you know where the camera is pointing. It’s why I keep my phone parallel with the ground in public. Cameras on glasses should not exist in any way, shape or form because you can’t know if it’s recording you or not. And honestly I want nothing to do with a cyberpunk future.
I mean, pandora’s box has already been pried open with a crowbar and the lid thrown into a woodchipper. Hidden cameras have been accessible to the mass public for almost a decade at this point.
At this point having a model that could be assembled and controlled by the end user means that the recorded data is within their possession. It might be for naught tho, as passerby could have their Meta lenses recording without any knowledge of the consequences.
But hey, now you can expose your workplace abuse with video evidence in court! XD
That’s just straight up not a good future.
Yeah, but good luck re-glueing the wood chips and sealing that malformed box, man. Might as well improvise with what’s on the horizon.
That’s a defeatist attitude before its even really big
