Meta sparks privacy fears after unveiling $299 Smart Glasses with hidden cameras: ‘You can now film everyone without them knowing’::These stylish shades may look like a regular pair of Ray-Ban Wayfarers, but they're actually Meta's new Smart Glasses, complete with two tiny cameras and speakers implanted in the arms. The wearable tech was unveiled by Mark Zuckerberg Wednesday at the 2023 Meta Connect conference in Menlo Park, California, sparking a frenzy online.

Ok, but why?

Like, why??

I'd like to run a test on these executives, put everyone with a camera pointing at them whenever they step outside let's see how long it will take to them hate their own proposal.

Remember when Transmetropolitan made this seem cool

stylish

Apparently their definition of "stylish" is vastly different from my definition.

WTF, this bargain-bin-level design.

I’m all for it. If I can walk through the grocery store and AI can track all the prices on everything and help me budget, i would think that’s pretty cool. Or, if I need to check back what a professor said in class and work on the board, boom no problem. I can see people not wanting to get filmed, but aren’t we already being filmed constantly already? Now I get to film for my benefit.

If someone has a convo with me while wearing these fake ray-bans, we're gonna have heated words. Simple as.

It's one thing to be surveiled at a place for security purposes, but someone wanting to record me has decided they don't care about consent and that's more disrespectful. I will not be held at the whims of someone who feels obligated to share everything, because they're already broken inside to not care about anything but themselves.
