This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
I don't own any smart glasses, but people's hatred of them is weird. Every time you leave your house or apartment you're being recorded by people's doorbell cams, security cams, anyone holding a phone vertical could be filming you, and you can't tell. And that's not even getting into the actual hidden cameras that are so cheap and easily accessible these days.
You wanna get worked up about some guy with a camera in his goofy looking glasses?
Unless you destroy these companies, strip the CEOs of all of their money, and publicly execute them, they will never ever ever stop. history has taught us, over and over and over again, that is the only thing that will ever stop them. Ever.
And even then, they will only stop until the next person comes along to do it, and then you must do the same to them.
Ever heard of Marie Antoinette? or the literally thousands of monsters that came before and after?
This is why they do their best to destroy education, so the people will never learn
I've heard it as, "Nothing will materially change until the plutocrats fear for their lives."
Zuckerberg has always been a fucking creep. Je invented Facebook to creep on women on campus.
"oops we got caught"
It's funny they even do anything about it at this point. It's not like they're ever going to be put out of business
They removed it and are looking at masking it better and will reinstall it after it's hidden and only Meta can spy on people and the data will be available for all agencies that want it.
“We can just collect pieces of telemetry from the 50,000 other data collection mechanisms we have installed on the glasses and then reassemble it server side where we have the AI set up to fuck everyone on the planet
“You didn’t think that this was the only way we were fucking everyone on the planet did you? Bwa ha ha ha”
Erosion of public opinion has always been the plan. I did a double take recently when I found out that back in 2017, Mozilla adding telemetry was something that people actually were offended by. Unfortunately, people stopped being offended by it, and nobody noticed that the telemetry experts were from the Facebook company, and soon that innocent data collection turned into an ad network.
We need to go back to treating these people the same way Google Glass users were treated back in the 2010s. They were Glassholes then. They're surveillance freaks today. They should be shunned by society. The nicest thing you should do to somebody wearing these surveillance glasses is to politely tell them that you are uncomfortable around their weird behavior.
I'm curious as to how people were actually using Google Glass in 2013. The only place I saw one then was at a programming meetup. I'm quite sure people weren't regularly running the camera continuously because that drains the battery in a hurry and overheats it even faster.
Source: I bought a new old stock Glass XE-C this year. They're $50 on Ebay. I'm working on a navigation app for it because I want heads-up cycling directions.
Break their shit and tell them to go fuck themselves sounds about what we should be doing. Make it so not okay that others like them get scared.
He must revel in looking like an unequivocal douche. You don't just roll out of bed looking like that--that is intentional
They'll end up keeping it entirely server side so someone tearing down the software on the glasses themselves won't find it to report on it.
And they‘re probably already doing it.
They removed the part that the user can notice.
"removed"
I think the plan at this point if you catch some asshole wearing smart glasses. You walk up to the biggest dude around and tell him that the guy is recording his kids or wife with his glasses being creepy.
I think that's called incitement to panic and can get you arrested.
True enough the idea is to be long gone by the time something goes down. I'm not saying I would scream in a crowed but just quietly walk up and tell father/husband. I mean if wasn't being creepy why would he be wearing a hidden camera bon his face.
$5 says they put it back inside the next month
