Meta along with Ray-Ban announced new smart glasses and the YT reviewers are praising it.

For me, I don’t find them particularly good and being a Meta product, it will be horrible for privacy. Also people can record others without their knowledge with these, hell no!

    No, even if it were open source, I don’t want to normalize an instrument with such potential for privacy violations.

    If they weren’t a dystopian, privacy invading nightmare and had more actual useful features rather than awful AI, and weren’t owned and controlled by an evil corporation, then I might be inclined to try them.

    probably not unless I’m developing software for one, I think the angle meta is aiming for is kind of dumb but I do see how they could be useful in industrial settings… but then again I guess microsoft tried and failed at that with the hololens

    So here’s the deal. I can’t understand people. Between the ADHD and general hearing issues I would pay a lot to have the ability to have subtitles on people. I feel left out on a lot of conversations due to not being able to follow along.

    Oh awesome can’t wait to have my privacy invaded by every random yahoo dipshit tech bro fuckwad on the street with these bloody glasses. Love being recorded and logged for Zuckerberg’s data wank bank.

    Won’t buy them, won’t interact with people who have them. Will cut off friendships over this, no problem.

    I would buy smart tech in the future but only once capitalism has disintegrated into a new world social order (i.e. the distant future) otherwise the motives of the tech company might be questionable and who knows what secret control crap they might add without your knowledge.
