I feel conflicted every time privacy-invading "smart glasses" threaten to enter the consumer market.
On one hand, they're promoted by some of the most invasive evil companies.
But on the other hand, victims of verbal abuse and harassment are rarely believed. Always-recording goggles bring the impossibly-high burden of proof down to an affordable cost-point. There's a clear and sympathetic market for smart glasses.
yeah idk i guess its kinda like phones
its such a cool product but it's horrible how hard it is to get one that doesnt spy on you
pine64 smart glasses when
yeah :\
i feel like i mean to address a "hackernews" kinda crowd here. i think there's overlap with the "the burden of proof for abuse/harrassment accusations must be incredibly heavy" crowd and the "surveillance is bad crowd.
i think my only point is that the statement "Meta:tm: branded surveilling smart glasses could improve society" being true is indicative of an absolutely bonkers state of society
