I've never completely understood what the full fuss is over the face-mounted cameras. They put high-power zooms and 50MP sensors on the back of cell phones, and nobody bats an eye. There's fuckloads of recording going on. Do it with a phone? yeah fine. Do it with glasses, world's gonna end. Put an indicator light on the glasses with a sensor to make sure it's on from the nose bridge. I'd LOVE to replace my phone with a pair of glasses.

  • Yes, both the glasses and phone can record. The glasses have an AI that can scan social media, and other public data, to identify people in real time. I supposed this can be done with an app on a phone. But the glasses do this as a core function. It's also a lot more obvious when someone is using a phone to record in public.

    If I obviously orientate my phone towards you or your kids, you'll be totally cool? Now assume that a ~~smart~~pervert glass wearer is doing just that but you don't know about it.

    Would be *less* of an issue if everything wasn't uploaded and analyzed by Meta, which will eventually be handed over to the feds and advertisers. If everything was done locally and not uploaded, there's still the problem of it being like a "spy" cam. Lights can always be taped or painted over. There's already been cases of people doing stuff like going to massage parlors and uploading the videos. There's been reports of Meta employees and contractors having to analyze videos of people using the restroom, dressing/undressing, having sex (I assume these people didn't realize they were recording, or they didn't realize others would be able watch).
