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.



And New Zealand
Both are interesting notes. Most in the US are pretty long gone now. I guess internationally they suck less? Ours were falling apart back in the 2000-2010s.
I can’t even think of one in driving distance.
