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

And rightfully so.

      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.
