      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?

    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 gross

      nerd "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!"

    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?

    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.

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

    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.

      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.

    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

    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

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

          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.
