Fuck those glasses. But also, my brain can't let go of the question of "How would I feel if I saw a woman wearing these?". And honestly I'm not sure??? Like you could make an argument that at least they would deter creepy men?? Anyone got any thoughts on that?
Women can be creeps too. It's less common but there are still plenty.
For me it's less about the creepy wearer than it is about surveillance, billionaires, fascism, capitalism, AI training, resale of info, etc.
It's not as important WHO is wearing the camera glasses. A woman, a child, a cat? Where is the data going? What happens with the data? How will it be used for profit or for control which is profit again?
You know if some billionaire wasn't laughing all the way to the bank this would not be happening.
Are we really at our last straw? I mean c'mon, there must be other ways to make women feel safe other than equipping them with a surveillance product from a toxic tech bro.
That's what I was thinking. There ae a lot of "cons" but is there any "pro"? All I could think of was safety or, at least a quick vid of who killed you.
