Never call them smart glasses,
Always call them creep glasses.
Because that's what they are.

theHastyOne@Em0nM4stodon I really want affordable prescription glasses with Bluetooth speaker and a mic.. I don't need integration into some assistant. I don't want software.. I just want the hardware. but even modern Bluetooth headphone try their hardest to find ways to spy.
Ramin Honary@Em0nM4stodon the term “spy glasses” is accurate, but unfortunately might be misconstrued.
cwicseolfor (has moved!)@ramin_hal9001 @Em0nM4stodon Spy also sounds more legitimate; it sounds only a step down from moral neutrality, the sort of thing that might be employed in public service, say against a shady corporation.
Sneak glasses?
usspacenut@Em0nM4stodon we gotta come up with ways to mess up these cameras.
Cassandrich@usspacenut @Em0nM4stodon I mean there's a well tested method for messing up nazis' faces that should also work on glassholes. 🤷
Christopher Snowhill@dalias @usspacenut @Em0nM4stodon comparing technology users to Nazis is probably delusional at best
@chris @usspacenut @Em0nM4stodon If someone is walking around with a surveillance device for one of the ghouls who brought back nazis and is happy they're here, and is pointing it at our faces without consent, they're at best a useful tool.
@dalias @usspacenut @Em0nM4stodon Is that all it's useful for? Yikes. I didn't think these things had the bandwidth or the storage to be useful for just recording nonstop and sending a live video feed somewhere. Hell, I have no idea what sort of scope it would take to just record millions of cameras and collate all that data.
I just thought this sort of thing would be useful for organizing a day for someone who can't even remember what they did yesterday, much less last week.
@chris @usspacenut @Em0nM4stodon It might have other uses, but that's what Facebook is getting out of someone using it - surveillance. That doesn't mean streaming live video to them (which indeed you probably don't have the bandwidth for). It means things like doing device-side facial reading and sending the data to server-side for identification, collecting and exfiltrating stills ala Recall, etc.
@dalias @usspacenut @Em0nM4stodon If I had to use such things, or if someone who has poor to no facial recognition had to utilize such things, I'd prefer it to use a local model, or a model and system under my control, similar to what Immich does for facial recognition. However, I suppose that it's too much to hope that one could get away with using their own personal data store without leaking the data to third parties.
Also, I guess such needs would be so incredibly niche as to not be worth implementing.
I still guess that such glasses would have to be parameterizing every face they see and sending that much data to someone, which means they're doing face recognition 24/7. Meh. What a waste.
Hope they like my face mask! I always mask up before going out on trips.
