another reason to continue masking in public tbh

probably going to start purposefully looking away from people if they try to talk to me with those on and if they push it I'll ask them to take them off and if they refuse to disengage completely

I know none of this is foolproof but it at least is social pressure and signalling to anyone around that I'm trying to avoid them if it escalates

Not thick enough.

This is not about smart glasses.

holding a glass slab in front of someone’s face is a lot more likely to be clocked.

So pervert blackmailers switch to button cameras. They are cheaper and even less obvious than thick black ray bans.

It is entirely about smart glasses. button cameras have been around for AGES. But they have shit lenses and crap sensors; these fucking chodes want to up the production value on the nonconsensual porn they already shoot with their phones - on the stairs up skirts, down the blouses of women, etc.,

they want a head cam with better resolution and head tracking.

keep advocating for the perverts

I got a tour of a military base with a guy who was wearing smart glasses and I couldn't fucking believe that someone didn't grab them off his face and break them in half. I was being VERY careful to ask if I was permitted to take pictures in some places (in at least one of which where the answer was No), and this dude was cruising around like Boris Badunov trying to gather secrets.

Might be a good time to tell someone.

[–] GraniteM@lemmy.world 26 points 16 hours ago (3 children)

I DID tell the guide what he was wearing because I didn't want us to end up in a military detention cell but the guide was like "Eh, it's fine," so I guess it was, but boy it didn't feel like it should have been!

[–] reksas@sopuli.xyz 2 points 8 hours ago

it was fine because guide probably didnt understand the concept of glasses being able to record stuff, otherwise it would have been fine for you to take pictures too.

[–] derpgon@programming.dev 3 points 11 hours ago

Maybe he was taken aside and questioned afterwards, hopefully. Or, rather, they don't show critical infrastructure to strangers at all.

[–] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 2 points 12 hours ago

Well in that case the guide should be on the line for the fuckup

Smart glasses are probably where the privacy debate around AI becomes truly mainstream. Phones are visible, wearable AI cameras are much harder for people to recognize in real time. It feels like society is heading toward a major legal and ethical adjustment period.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.cafe 1 points 6 hours ago

A person can already LOOK anywhere they want, and almost every inch of ground is covered by surveillance cameras that are recording your every move.

This just combines two things that are already happening. When it gets to court, I doubt a judge is going to care much.

Smart glasses have absolutely nothing to do with AI. They're just cameras.

I think AI granting the ability for nearly anyone to easily manipulate short videos in a way that looks realistic might be where it comes into the picture.

Having video evidence of everything you do is just unsettling at the very least if you ask me.

[–] UniversalRecord@discuss.online 6 points 14 hours ago

Meta AI smart glasses exist, doesn’t it?

[–] Nomorereddit@lemmy.today 6 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

If you act like a twat, you can be called out online. But only affects you if you online.

Im not online anywhere, except here. And this place sucks and has 4 users, and if it gets better/bigger im leaving.
