I was so excited when first got a roomba 5 or 6 years ago, but that faded so fast after it turned into an endless stream of notifications that it was caught under furniture, stuck on a cliff (the edge of a rug), full of dirt, couldn’t find its base, or trapped under a maze of dining room table legs.

I love the idea, but man that was $500 wasted. I’m sure they are better now, but I cant bring myself to buy another one.

Honestly, pulling it out of my ass.

Now your turn… what is your definition of “very small”, and where is your citation that a larger percentage of the population uses their phone camera to discretely creep on people?

This comparison is like saying that, because a car can be used to run over pedestrians at any time, there is no reason to be alarmed about people installing the Crosswalk-pocalypse 5000 (now with 30% more spikes!) on their front bumper.

Of course we know people can discretely record you with a phone. The difference is that the fraction of people doing that is very small, while the percentage of people doing that with Meta glasses is basically 100%.
