I’m never buying Ray Bans again. I don’t want to be associated, fuck Ray Bans for taking that cash.
What I told the guy at the optician last month. "Let's skip the RayBan rack all together."
I don't want to look like a rapist. Are you telling me I have creepy rapist vibes?
Zuck is killing the whole industry. 😔
He finally did something good.
also it has the stigma of Zuckerberg using his companies as datamining, spying, right wing peddling platforms. his name was enough to derail anything that comes out of meta.
And they should be.
Shame is a greatly underrated emotion.
The problem is that some people have adapted an immunity to it.
100%. I've been saying it for years that at the end of the day, the only punishment that actually works is the public shaming.
Bring back the public perp walks. March the criminal through the streets with a big banner announcing their crime, and then leave them them in a public cell in the middle of town for a few days with their name on it, their crime, and no privacy so that people can come and see them.
A few days of that will do more to cure recidivism than any jail you can name.
Except private prisons need the prisoners to get paid. They want the recidivism to continue.
Ah, the good old days when we could gather in a mob and throw turds at criminals in the town centre. Might work, actually.
It's nice to see no one learned anything from Google Glass. This is why we're fucked as a species...
ive only seen it once it public and then never after that day. i think people got the message the moment articles came out about it. but Zuckerborg intends to push this out regardless.
Who woulda' thought suckerberg - the man responsible for running intelligence ops on billions of devices in broad daylight, would be outta touch with evolving cultural norms!
Now do billionaires, and we golden!
And politicians.
How do we feel about flock or similar camera networks around the world? Like yeah a dude with cameras on his face is one issue and then there's the systemic distribution of millions of cameras which is arguably worse but feels more normal to many.
Does it? Most people I know on all sides of the political spectrum absolutely dispose the mass surveillance and have openly done so since cameras at traffic lights became a widespread thing.
That's a whole different issue. I cannot choose to install flock cameras in my city, but I can choose to buy and wear meta glasses or not.
Yes and no. Like towns have town halls where such issues are voted on or debated. There are most definitely actions individuals and more importantly communities can take to stop the spread of distributed surveillance. There are already laws about filming in private locations aka it's currently illegal for someone to be filming in a public restroom or in your house or in a business they don't own.
I think the glasses are worse since they will film you up close, anywhere, and end up on social media to laugh at or to jerk off to.
This is a product that should not be allowed to be distributed to the public. But we live in an age where decency and respect for others is low.
Yeah it's a more jarring and immediate concern than the amorphous state level data collection and profiling concern of distributed systems although both boil down to privacy concerns. Like its one thing to have a dash cam in your car or a household security camera or even for a business to have internal and external security cameras it's another thing all together for the state to have a distributed camera network accurately tracking everything you're doing or for an Individual to be illegally recording in private locations to make compromising content.
I just don't understand why they even tried. Google already proved in 2013 that people think you're an asshole for wearing things like this, even having the term "glasshole" come about.
Same mental disorder, different CEO?
Backlash not strong enough imo but good news is good news.
