I wore Meta AI glasses for a month — and even after struggling with privacy concerns, I'm still not convinced they're the future of wearables (www.tomsguide.com)

So if I'm understanding it correctly. They are seeing ads literally in front of them all the time? Like those glasses are playing ads constantly?

No, but they're getting ads on their other devices based on stuff they see that they happen to ask meta about, or upload videos of. There's no HUD for it to serve ads to you on the glasses.

Fair, that's understandable. Though whole new level of tracking.

Imagine if your gaze lingers slightly too long on a packet of Tim Tams, but you're trying to be good, and you have a conversation with your partner about how hard it is to kick sugar. Then later you start getting aggressively advertised to, TimTams everywhere on massive discount, because Meta knows your weakness now. But not just with chocolate, with everything in your life, exploited as ruthlessly as possible, and also you paid a premium for that privilege.

There are marketing people watching this and thinking, "These are great ideas!"

Talk about nightmares.

I think that would be the next step, once they get enough idiots to hook onto that shit. For now, I believe, the ads are only on the platforms to which they've already hooked everyone. But I'm also an optimist, huh xD
