Will we be in the same up in arms once Apple releases their AI Glasses?

How about if their glasses either...

1. Can not take pics or videos but its camera is just for AI vision?

or

2. All pics and videos taken through Apple's smart glasses the pics/vids of anyone not in your network (Apple already automatically list faces & sometimes names in your network under "People & Pets," and has done so for years & they are the privacy company) show as anonymous/randomized faces.

I own two pairs of Meta Glasses since 10/2023 and find them very useful to capture or record my own life experiences only. Tho I share hate for them because Meta makes trashy non-durable smart glasses that quickly become dumb glasses. A software update killed my 1st pair in March 2025 and then my next pair couldn't handle water splashes in June 2025.

Look, they’re only keeping those videos to train their model to identify CSAM and definitely not accidentally generate it.

That seems a bit like accusing the post office of letting you send and receive banned books?

No wonder Zuckerberg is so popular with the Epstein class

It's sad that the gap between a "glasshole" and meta glasses is just a branded frame. If anything Meta has significantly worse public reputation now than Google during Google Glass time.

> B) how much money there is to be made having people wear them.

Meta have been desperately searching for “the next big walled garden” for like a decade.

The prize is clear: whatever the next big mass-consumer hardware device is with an app store attached will leech hundreds of billions in fees and enjoy absolute control over everyone building on it.

In that case, the data collected should be subject to strict privacy laws.

The use case for these glasses are to record everything, everywhere. That it's also helpful for people with vision impairment is a, positive, coincidence.

This makes me more sad than hopeful. Great they get use out of it, but there instead should be a medically approved HIPAA compliant device for this purpose built by scientists in the open for all to enjoy. Instead the disabled are coersed to give up all privacy of themselves and others around them both digitally and physically. And more importantly they have to give up their sovereignty over the means of their enhancement by it being closed off and eventually enshittified for customers yet opened up for exploitation by facebook and their corporate and government customers.

Sadly the disabled have no choice but to accept the status quo, and facbook gets to virtue signal while holding humanity back another cycle by not selling us an open platform that would actually help people at scale not just now but forever.

The best Robert Scoble was when he was advocating for NEC tablets (Windows XP Tablet PC Edition) on various forums in 2002 or 2003.

Still on X, yelling about how amazing Elon Musk is.
