The guy who started a social media leviathan to creep on girls is now selling pervert glasses. Imagine my shock!
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?
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
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.
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
"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.
“Oh man, she’s so interesting Date Bot what should I talk about?”
HOW ABOUT A SEXY DATA FILE FORMAT. WOMEN LOVE DATA STRUCTURES.
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?
accessible health monitoring
We are getting this but for the worst reasons to benefit the worst people.
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.
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
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.
its morally good to break these things if someone is wearing them.
we're about to enter a new golden age for livestreamed mass shootings
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.
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
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.
I would like to have a treat and occasionally be able to save picture of cool things I saw
without anyone knowing
As if everyone in the world isn't going to recognize those frames two seconds after they hit the market.
