I’m not sure what the leverage they think they have is? „Pay me or I’ll upload this video of you, a random person doing average person things in public, on tiktok?“
I mean obviously don’t film people who don’t want to be filmed, and these glasses suck, but like, why would anyone pay?
These recording-glasses are destined to be a favorite product for two groups of people: influencers and creeps. It will be hard to distinguish between the two. But seeing people wearing these glasses will be a clue to stay far away from them.
The fact that the on-while-recording white led light is *tiny,* easily masked by the sun, and easily defeated is another strong clue for what Meta is *really* expecting users to do with these smart glasses: secretly record other people. Another layer on top of that: Meta will use the recordings for personal ad-targeting and to train AI.
In ancient times in the early 2000’s: an antecedent to Facebook’s prototype was a ‚Hot or Not,‘ website clone specifically designed to embarrass Zuckerberg’s ex-girlfriend. With that creepy legacy I suppose we shouldn’t be surprised about this new invasion of privacy.
Dont be human in public is the answer.
This was obviously going to happen. Recording people without their permission is bound to bring out the creepers and scammers.
In a roundabout way this is ultimately a good thing. These glassholes will inevitably tarnish the reputation of anyone wearing smart glasses, all the while sinking the privacy abomination that is Meta just a little more.
Someone’s going to get some great footage of the inside of their own butt if this keeps happening.
I work at a health care system, I tried to convince leadership to ban these due to liability concerns. There’s personal health info everywhere. Not much concern on managements part sadly
Black mirror, The Entire History of You.
One of the scariest because it’s so possible and reall.
In this boring dystopia, companies are going to sell these devices and „offer“ a „service“ to everyone else to be censored from the video captured.
Whats the best way to blind these things? IR lights in their field of vision?
Just waiting for workers at my job to be forced to wear them and an electric collar.
Pretty sure in Nevada it would be a hair distance from multiple felonies.
Mob rule of Casinos got legislation saying all parties recorded must give consent. Lots of door cams break that law as well.
These pedo-vision glasses need to be banned or heavily regulated.
The entire purpose of the glasses was never clear to me. It always seemed like a campaign to get people to record free data for Meta’s AI, other than that, not real purpose except nefarious intents.
Edit:typo
Guess they’ll have to ban glasses from strip clubs
I mean yeah…. Remember Google Glass from 12 years ago?
Id love to use glasses for recording while I work in the woods but I have too many privacy concerns on top of them just being outright expensive.
I need a collar or hat that uses some kind of IR light or laser to make my face invisible or blurred out to cameras.
If big Corp and the government wanna go cyberpunk, we need to as well
Time to print a t-shirt covered in QR codes, a nice healthy mixture of links to malware, Rickrolls and search terms that’ll get someone put on a government watchlist
you mean pervert glasses
I think that people underestimate the number of miserable Karens who don’t have the ammunition to be as self righteous as they feel
These glasses will embolden people to manufacture as much drama as their ego’s demand
My son is vision impaired, and the augmented reality these glasses offer is a game changer- he can see street signs and recognize people from longer distances. The poor kid is going to get lumped into the creep,segment eventually.
Im more concerned when they can see through things
Overall theme of 21st century so far is the erosion of privacy.
I filled in at one of the state prisons since one of the nurses called out. And good lord they inspected everyone’s glasses that entered to make sure they weren’t one of these things.
I keep getting reels on instagram of people removing the the record lights for people. It’s disgusting, and I don’t trust people who use them.
I’m positive there are some videos of me and my ex stored on a hard drive from 2015 or whenever the Snapchat spectacles were a thing. I was horrified when he casually showed me.
The only pro social use for this is recording cops. But they’ll just rip them off your face and stomp on them with impunity.
do wonder about two party recording consent states
would be nice to have whistleblowers use them…..
We ain’t seen nothing yet. Wait until you can’t even tell there is a camera there like the front facing iphone camera.
How do yall feel about street photography
A new nightmare headline everyday about this bullshit being thrust upon all of us.
Blind and low vision folks use these as a convenient accessibility tool. So not every use of this is for evil.
This so overblown.
For one, recording in public is not as a big deal as people make it out to be except for upskirt shots or the like.
For two, creeps already have access to much cheaper spy cams.
I bought them when I became a new father and thought they would be great to film my son while we were at vacation and didn’t need to be holding my phone. So there are good uses for them…
Also listening to podcasts on them while walking works too
