    I don’t deny these can cause privacy issues as does the ubiquity of small devices with high quality cameras in general but I don’t think this law professor really understands the tech very well if she’s worried about “nudification” in connection to these.

    There’s nothing in particular about smartglasses that would enable such a use and they’re considerably worse than a regular phone for that in every regard except for the covert picture taking. They completely lack the displays and processing power needed for it unlike, say, a phone.

      What a load of bollocks. Grok is doing this on X today, why do you think these glasses couldn’t be doing that with some programming?
