Smart glasses equipped with cameras, microphones, and AI are a creeping privacy and security nightmare, prompting backlash.

And rightfully so.

    I’d wear them if they didn’t have a camera - the idea of a little screen and the music/phone call capabilities baked into something I have to wear every waking moment anyways actually sounds really nice. I’d probably turn off the display after the novelty wore off, but the audio alone is still worth it to me.

          microphone has many more basic uses. taking notes. voice command. I mean we all realize all the smartphones have both of these things right. I mean that is why I don’t really like them but I would more like AR although realistically not in a corp is controlling everything way. If it was open source and local and under my control that would be super cool.

            Actually something I worry about …… my glasses have tiny embedded magnets for “click-on” sunglasses. Maybe they could be mistaken for tiny cameras on pervert glasses

            It’s actually pretty easy to conceal. there’s plenty of investigative reporting with hidden cameras and nobody’s none the wiser. The fact that they have to add a light to the glasses proves that even if you hide it in plain sight, people will still miss it.
