It is really upsetting that we can't get actually good "smart glasses". Like, glasses that have a little screen projected on the lenses and can do searches and stuff for you on the fly, or display text like a script or something, or watch a video, or see your music playlist...
Why does everyone trying to make "smart glasses" feel compelled to include a fucking hidden camera?? And now it's even worse with the AI riddle surveillance state we are living in. I won't even be a little surprised to find out that Meta's pervert glasses are being co-opted by Flock to add even more cameras to their "safety" network...
Yeah, it's unfortunate but until we get robust privacy laws (which won't happen) none of this shit can ever be trusted. Anyone arguing to put more cameras and microphones into our lives at this point should be met with an ass beating. If our politicians were worth anything those laws would have been in place before it ever got this far. Instead they're all bought and paid for.
