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)

In contrast, what made the targeted ads somewhat more troubling was the fact that tied in with the privacy footage revelations — where the glasses are recording to an extent even if they're not — was the feeling that the glasses could see everything I saw. And that was a hard thing to shake.

Sure, most people on the internet are aware of search history, cookies, tracking, and personal data use being leveraged to promote products, ideas or suggested searches. But being confronted by targeted suggestions based on what you're seeing immediately in front of you is a somewhat shocking wake-up call.

It's baffling that tech journalists aren't telling people to run screaming from devices like these.

well if they're proper journalists then they shouldn't, journalism is not the job where you push your opinions into others.
