Remember when people got punched for wearing Google glasses?
Peppridge farm remembers
Now we can punch everyone wearing Ray Bans
Yeah that wasn’t humanity’s brightest moment.
Stopped this bullshit for a decade or so
Stop advocating violence against people who might be recording video in public, just because the device doing it is on their face.
A clear violation of the social contract deserves a swift response. Those glasses come off your face, and onto the pavement.
Who made this social contract? I certainly didn’t. You want to be able to tell everyone else what the social contract is, and assault them if they don’t comply.
Fascist.
When you say “fascist”, you do realize that fascism involves crowd control and these glasses are a dream for a fascist regime? All the speech about “cameras everywhere is ok” falls right in the authoritarianism thinking, that’s just a step from fascism.
Control of the public sphere is not a hallmark of fascism, no. Control of the private sphere is.
Either way though, using violence to force your political views on others is more fascist and more wrong than any amount of surveillance.
You actually should advocate for violence against people who are violating your rights
You don’t have the right not to be filmed in public. Do you punch every person filming in public? and if you punch someone wearing the glasses, most likely they weren’t even recording.
If I see someone filming me, I ask them to stop. That will escalate if they don’t.
I think what people are missing here is the intention. There’s generalised filming of your surroundings, surveillance cameras…these glasses are intended for use in a social capacity. That will move into privacy issues and perverted use.
These peoples right to use these glasses, as far as I’m concerned, does not eclipse my privacy or lack of desire to be filmed and put on Metas platforms and if I find someone using them on me they’ll be fucking told.
You do in Germany, except during events/gatherings/marches.
I am aware. If the yanks want to copy it then they should
- overthrow the orange turd
- campaign for it democratically
not go around punching people for violating a legal right they do not have. Your discomfort at maybe having your picture doesn’t entitle you to violence.
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
*Unless Facebook is the one doing the unreasonable search, and we simply buy their data
most likely they weren’t even recording.
Sweet summer child
You didn’t answer the question. You could just have said that you’re overreacting because it’s tech associated with Meta and you don’t like them, even though it’s basically the same as a phone, just on your face.
You think smart glasses have enough battery to record constantly? lol.
It’s easy to see someone holding up a camera or cell phone making it obvious they are recording. If you don’t want to be recorded, you can just stay the fuck away from them. You can’t avoid cameras/recording devices you can’t see. Fuck meta, and fuck anyone else wearing their garbage, privacy invading glasses.
Yeah, it’ll be really hard to spot the giant dorky glasses with the laser beam recording LED.
Of course, in practice you don’t behave differently when you spot someone holding their phone up in the street, because you’re already behaving like you’re being watched because you’re in fucking public.
People with legal issues, immigration issues or violent exes will absolutely dip if they see someone recording. I have none of these problems and I will always avoid gettIng recorded by randos if it’s easy to do so. I can’t reasonably avoid every Ring cam in my neighborhood but I will happily slide 10 feet to the left to avoid becoming collateral damage in some dbags insta reel.
So you can do the same thing when you see someone wearing the glasses, then. You won’t always be able to spot them, of course. Just like you can’t spot if someone’s filming on their phone all the way down a train carriage, or in a crowd.
If your immigration and law enforcement agencies are so awful (I assume most people here are American, and so they are) that normal people recording videos risks harm to people who haven’t done anything wrong, then it seems like the focus should be on that first, and video recording in general second.
People in this thread want to punch wearers of smart glasses because they hate Zuck. They all have issues if their rage comes out that way.
But violence isn’t the answer. And certainly not to people doing legal stuff in public. Wearing a Google Glass in private is different though.
All I’m saying is last time this tech trend came around, enough people who had a problem with it took drastic actions that directly affected the popularity of wearing a spycam on your face.
Wouldn’t surprise or upset me if history repeated itself.
Wouldn’t surprise me either. But it’s a hugely illogical reaction.
Its not. I wish we lived in a world where we could be trusted with things like this, but we dont.
I really want a camera on my face and a HUD so I can live life more like a video game with screenshots, but we as a species have shown time and time again that we can’t behave.
Id rather nobody have one.
Look, taking such glasses into a locker room is a problem. But someone wearing them in public is not. Anyone punching someone who does that should be taken to jail, simple as that.
“Never believe that
anti-Semitespeople like this person are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. Theanti-Semitespeople like this person have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.”Jean-Paul Sartre
On a similar note, Flock is known to do OCR on bumper stickers. I’ve recently found myself wondering if there’s any sanitization being done to the OCR output before it gets stored in whatever database they’re using.
Because Bobby Tables.

Let’s assume they don’t, who can design my new bumper stickers?

A decent probability of fucking with the surveillance state. I don’t ask for much.
My biggest pet peeve in life is this meme bc THIS IS NOT HOW QR CODES WORK THEY DO NOT SCAN AUTOMATICALLY YOU HAVE TO CLICK ON THE WEBSITE
Not yet… When AI controls the camera, it could be tricked
They want this to succeed so bad - a vulnerability that involves prompt injection by way of a visual would get fixed quickly.
Good news everyone! Now you can aid the surveillance state by giving Meta constant facial recognition data LIVESTREAMED FROM YOUR EYES.
Fucking idiots, anyone who wears these things.
Edit - if anyone sees these in public, the users should be loudly and publicly shamed. “Hey everyone! This guy is broadcasting your faces live to Facebook!”
The only way to shame them is to make it about them “This guy films himself going to the toilet, and uploads videos of his tiny penis for meta employees to watch”
Welp.
Orwell warned us.
It’s kind of crazy that we’re already kind of there. I find myself constantly thinking about how I’m most likely being recorded at any given time I’m not at home. Even at home until I put my foot down and told my girlfriend her Ring cameras inside the house were to be put away unless we were on vacation.
And I’m old enough to remember when this feeling of being watched all the time was not a thing. I know it helps solve a lot of crimes, but honestly, I don’t care. I don’t think it’s worth it to live in a surveillance state.
Also, I’m a nudist. I go to nude resorts/beaches. People are going to be wearing these fucking things now and then uploading the video to the internet. NOT OK. Like, there’s an unspoken rule among nudists not to have phones out, and if someone does, people will confront them about it. But you can’t really protect against hidden fucking cameras in sunglasses.
I’m so tired of all this.
All those surveillance cameras didn’t do shit for Nancy Guthrie
In the stone age of qrcode scanners, the scanner would enter the phone number directly into the dial app. All you needed to do was hit dial. Very convenient… When we were young little shits we would print qrcodes containing the android factory reset dial codes because those didn’t need hitting dial to trigger.
What kind of sick fuck thinks that’s a selling point?
Mark Zuckerberg.
They “trust me”
Dumb fucks
Ray Ban is owned by Luxoticca Group and they have plenty of money to throw around too.
For those not in the knows, Luxottica has a near monopoly on the prescription glasses frame market and are a large part of why a couple grams of molded plastic and wire can set you back hundreds of dollars depending on the logo they glue to it.
Do they record your voice also? Because they may violate some wire tap laws.
Depending on context and country filming ppl without their knowledge is already illegal.
Not in canada, just one person has to be in the know.
Does the photographer count as that one person?
Yes, he consented already IF he is in a public place ie the street or enter a store front.
Obvious problems with surreptitious filming aside, these camera-infused glasses have been great for people filming themselves doing things. If only the whole thing wasnt so damn creepy and gross.
I’m with you.
GoPro obviously found a really interesting niche that they dominated for about 10 years, and POV videos can still be cool for sports and things like that where the videographer tends not to have hands available for actually holding a camera. I think that’s still pretty cool, and glasses can be a useful form factor for that general use. I’m all for making camera ergonomics better.
But the AI assistant stuff and the attempts to make them part of the actual day to day (both by attempting to making them fashionable and socially normalizing a camera pointing at everything all the time) is obviously a bad development. Even if we implement countermeasures (re-normalizing masks in public, making lighting terrible for digital cameras, etc.) it wouldn’t be a symmetrical effort.
qr codes cant really contain a zero-click malware, theyre just links (unless theres a terrible vulnerability in the browser which there probably isnt)
Like the AI assistant following the link to tell the user what’s on the other end? There has to be a way to exploit that.
where there is a will there is a way :p
This is my favorite variation on this phrase
What about air? Or water?
You can’t ride those no matter how brave you’re.
Water can be solid
That’s ice. Water can’t be solid
I don’t care about being filmed in public. After all I’m in public, if I want privacy I’ll go somewhere else.
Obligatory fuck meta though.
I don’t know, but it would be wierd if someone’s stalking you in public though, So yea having all these footages that can be stitched together which says wherever you go…
(this is a stupid hyper hypothetical scenario I made up, not that meta would be interested to do all that work just to track a person)
People could do that before bro. Phone, DSLR, etc.
You have no assumption of privacy in public. If this hypothetical stalker is following you then they’ll do that with or without meta glasses.
if I want privacy I’ll go somewhere else.
Because they absolutely could not just follow you.
People could do that before meta glasses. I’m not talking about governments here. I’m talking about regular people and you have no illusion of privacy in public. Pretty common sense that.
So you’re okay with being filmed in bathrooms. Got it.
This is an example of where you do have the expectation of privacy. Although a bathroom may be in public it’s not legally a public area.
I do street photography so I have checked the rules in my country.
Too bad. They’re standing right next to you with those glasses on. Hope you aren’t camera shy when trying to take a piss. See what your genius idea of ‘I’ll just go someplace private’ conveniently ignores is that with these glasses there are no private places anymore.
And did you have the same outrage when phone cameras became a thing.
I don’t know about you dude but if I’m a urinal and someone is looking at me I’m having words regardless of any device they’re holding.
For what it’s worth fuck meta but right now you’re old man shouting a clouds.
You sound like the right wingers saying what’s to stop a trans person raping me in the toilet.
The difference is you have to throw hands with anybody wearing glasses as opposed to someone clearly holding up a device to record you.
You sound like a toddler constantly asking “why?” instead of actually thinking about what it means to have invisible cameras that can go everywhere you can.
