The guy who started a social media leviathan to creep on girls is now selling pervert glasses. Imagine my shock!

[–] [email protected] 32 points 1 year ago (2 children)

A fine job creator making the means of production accessible to the middle class. I wonder if this is going to accidentally become a pervert honeypot, since it's very likely all the media generated will be tracked and tied to a user. It's like a cop body cam for the everyday folks. Isn't it fun living in a cyberpunk dystopia?

Wearing my meta ray-bans to buy drugs is great because I can price check and convert weights instantly. And when I'm organizing with my comrades I can read wikipedia pages right there on the spot

Like these bozos have to know that people outside of influencers going on exotic vacations are going to buy these and creep up women's skirts, right?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

I doubt they care as long as they can hoover up more information.

Musk was def a mod of jailbait and upskirtshots, right?

can't wait for cops to go psycho and start snapping random sunglasses in fits of agitated hysteria

[–] [email protected] 42 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If they start snapping Oakleys boomer chuds and cops are going to have a nasty breakup

I miss when new tech toys sounded fun instead of knowing there's a very high chance that what's coming next will further expand the corporate surveillance state and add more e-waste on top of that. doomer

The guy who was using AI to help him have conversations on dates has to be hyped as fuck about this news. Sorry ladies, but the sunglasses stay on during dinner.

It's ironic, but it's still grossnerd "This will be great! Now I can feed in footage to my facial expression analyzer to determine which of my AI generated lines has the biggest impact. A few rounds of iteration and I'll finally get laid for sure! Ooh, and if I leave the pervert glasses on during, I can do the same thing to enhance my love-making prowess until I'm an apex sexual predator!"

Man who's played too many dating sims and think dating should actually work like that.

I'm going to get into arguments about how I'm actually a bad person for not wanting six figure salary computer touchers to have such creeptech because the poor smol bean six figure salary computer touchers need to stalk and hack their way into tricking women to fuck them. doomer

I always imagined the future of wearable tech as real-time language translation, AR mapping, and accessible health monitoring, but we're just gonna get creeper porn aren't we?

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago

accessible health monitoring

We are getting this but for the worst reasons to benefit the worst people. capitalist-laugh

the guy who tapes his laptop mic want everyone filmed

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I remember when google glass first came out some bazinga got his ass kicked for wearing them at a bar. That needs to happen again.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago

The GlassHoles were stopped cold about a decade ago by being kicked out of test areas for being creepy assholes. I hope it happens again.

Amazing how this is a selling point when in many states it's illegal to record people without their permission

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

Afaik wiretapping is a pretty serious felony in a lot of places. Fucked up, too, bc it means you can't record your landlord or boss doing heinous illegal shit.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 year ago

its morally good to break these things if someone is wearing them.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 year ago (1 children)

we're about to enter a new golden age for livestreamed mass shootings

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 year ago

They already have happened tho. It's the golden age of first person stealth shootings.

I know someone who worked as a privacy engineer at Meta. They told me with a straight face that Meta cares about privacy. Delenda est techbros.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I'm sure they care about privacy to the extent that if you wore a pair of these to one of their meetings they would tell you to take them off.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 year ago

I think that's a crime in california

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't know if this is true but from thr stories it does seem that Facebook was started as an excuse to creep on girls. This fits right in to that

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Punch these suckers off any face you spot them on. Genuinely valuable work dismantling an apparatus of the dystopia we live in. And why the fuck would you want these if you aren't planning to take creepshots or some shit like that

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Tbh I can think of good uses, like filming cops.

50% chance AR glasses will replace all cell phones in a decade lol

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

A lot of people do not want to wear a pair of glasses all the time. The downside they have is you have to put them on to wear them. A screen on the other hand you can glance at without the physical act of putting it on first. I don't think glasses will replace the phone but instead they will augment it. The phone also makes sense to use as a processing computer unit tethered to the glasses, which can reduce the weight of the glasses. With this setup you get all things.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

I take it you don't carry glasses?

without anyone knowing

As if everyone in the world isn't going to recognize those frames two seconds after they hit the market.

Why does everything just suck ASS.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago

You want good things? Tough luck, bozo. Best I can do is panopticon torment nexus.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

It’d be a lot cooler if they had rangefinding.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

This seems like a good place to ask how viable some kind of AR retexturing project would be, like a visor that makes you see in PS1 graphics

Someone forgot to switch Zuckerberg to human mode. It’s a rookie mistake every intern makes.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Is it possible to use these without live-streaming direct to Facebook data centers? I live in a one party consent state for recording and it would be nice to be able to film my interactions with cops (and crazy motorists) without pulling my phone.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Would wearing a COVID mask in public prevent Facebook from recognizing you? I don’t have a Facebook or care to be on it. I don’t know enough about the technology to know.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

They already TRIED THIS two years ago! To similar negative reactions about privacy!
