   Never call them smart glasses,
   Always call them creep glasses.

   Because that's what they are.

     @usspacenut @Em0nM4stodon I mean there's a well tested method for messing up nazis' faces that should also work on glassholes. 🤷

     @chris @usspacenut @Em0nM4stodon If someone is walking around with a surveillance device for one of the ghouls who brought back nazis and is happy they're here, and is pointing it at our faces without consent, they're at best a useful tool.

     @dalias @usspacenut @Em0nM4stodon comparing technology users to Nazis is probably delusional at best

     @chris @usspacenut @Em0nM4stodon It might have other uses, but that's what Facebook is getting out of someone using it - surveillance. That doesn't mean streaming live video to them (which indeed you probably don't have the bandwidth for). It means things like doing device-side facial reading and sending the data to server-side for identification, collecting and exfiltrating stills ala Recall, etc.

     @dalias @usspacenut @Em0nM4stodon Is that all it's useful for? Yikes. I didn't think these things had the bandwidth or the storage to be useful for just recording nonstop and sending a live video feed somewhere. Hell, I have no idea what sort of scope it would take to just record millions of cameras and collate all that data.

     I just thought this sort of thing would be useful for organizing a day for someone who can't even remember what they did yesterday, much less last week.
