Smart glasses equipped with cameras, microphones, and AI are a creeping privacy and security nightmare, prompting backlash.

And rightfully so.

And anytime you meet someone new it could store their name and face in a database.

Enough of this dystopian bullshit! Or was that satire?

It was a bit self-satirical. But it would be really helpful for me, if it existed. I’m not about to buy a face camera but I can imagine some people in sales might like such a feature.

If someone in sales is logging and recording my interactions with them, storing my name and face in a database and feeding it into facial recognition software, then I'm not buying anything from them.

Me neither. In fact regardless of what’s on their face they can fuck right off.
