I agree but the biggest defense for this is to always assume you’re being recorded when in public even if you’re not. You never know.

The issue becomes relevant in private spaces, to me. Nobody with smart glasses is coming into my home.

I agree 100%, but a thought occurred to me…would these help lead to more arrest if assaults were captured on the cameras. It sucks that such an existential threat to privacy could do real good. Forces some moral and ethical issues that that techno feudalism is forcing on us.

Forces some moral and ethical issues that techno feudalism is forcing on us, and we aren’t making the choice.

you should be reading more cyberpunk / scifi literature. There is literally the case for human action and freedom within the machine. And assuming that AI cameras are also the freuquent next step in police states. Do you really want this? Are you allowed to have ambitions outside the machine?

I would love for an AI machine to be all knowing and all pervasive. It honestly sounds like it could be great.

Except definitelt not because we know 100% that nobody could be trusted to be in charge of it.
