Story about low priced Anko branded competitor to Meta smart glasses. The story author calls out that despite Meta’s attempts to prevent recording if the LED is covered, it is easy to get around the block. I think it’s good for mainstream press to say it, so more ppl realize. They also call out that human moderators at Meta review their smart glasses footage. Inc videos of people having sex or using the toilet.
IDK if public backlash will nix the market for these, or if opposition will dry up and in 10 more years they will be mainstream tech like smartphones are today. I could see it going either way TBH.
It scares me that one of those timelines leads to a hellscape worse than the one we already have.
I do 100% agree with the backlash of these cameras.
I also think that the general public should be just as weary of every front door having a ring camera, or every side yard having a blink camera.
While glasses are less conspicuous in public, these neighborhood cameras are already everywhere. You can’t take a walk at night without being on 20 different cameras. (While these cameras aren’t being used to be creepy) their footage is still going to a server where employees are doing whatever they want with them.
We gave up our privacy for convenience a long time ago. Meta glasses are the least of our worries if Palantir has anything to say about it.
Yah, I want the rings and flocks gone too!
We went down this road too much already, but going down it even more just makes it even worse IMO. It isn’t a black & white situation, in the end. It’s a matter of degree.
