We, as a society, have to bully all people who wear those glasses. They have to be excluded form all social gatherings and we have to make fun of them everywhere they go.
But why THE FUCK are Meta workers watch the material? Ah, it's Meta. Of course, they're watching.
@wackJackle out of interest: is the problem that its meta (and the massive privacy problem) or the "smart" glasses by themselves?
this would be something, if properly working as free soft/hardware, that I would love to play around with, cutting out all the privacy violating stuff.
it its the glasses themselves, can you elaborate?
@wackJackle understandable.
I wouldnt really want to record (and store) anything, but rather experiment with AR features, like screens and stuff.
it should definitely not make anyone uncomfortable, but for me it would probably be fine to use them in confined surroundings, anyway. Interesting point to keep in mind, thanks!
@brahms @wackJackle They probably do not have the resolution to record say, the flying of a small radio controlled aircraft from the pilot's viewpoint. That would require an accurately aimed high-res camera mounted on a helmet. Reasoning would be inability to work the camera and fly the plane at the same time.
Thus, an otherwise interesting use for an open source varient of smart glasses is probably blocked by limitations of the camera lenses and sensors.
This of course has no bearing on say, Project Veritas wearing them to record "private" conversations, fash and cops wearing them to record protester's faces, undercover cops using them to trap sex workers, etc.
Speaking of sex, I wonder how many of these Meta employees wait for sex footage to come up and jack off to it. Also note that if they get put on a table and forgotten and people have sex within view of them, its nonconsensual porn.
Normal video cameras are rarely left running on a table unless facing a wall and running as an improvised way to hard-overwrite a camera card from which spicy footage has been "deleted."
I think if you were about to get in the sack with someone you'd be far more likely to notice a full size camcorder than a pair of glasses.
