Meta's Ray-Ban smart glasses have earned the nickname "pervert glasses" — and a journalist's firsthand account reveals exactly why. Wearing them didn't just feel creepy; it made her start thinking like one. I break down the real surveillance threat these glasses pose, Meta's data exploitation playbook, and what we can actually do about it.

no, because that was shitty resolution from an absolutely tiny camera. it should have set a standard but was so distinctly obvious externally and useless for the task that it didn't trigger the response I guess.

this shit absolutely can 'pass' and should be banned posthaste.

Had Google had access to the camera sensors and the smaller, more powerful SOCs we have today, they absolutely would have produced exactly what Meta did.

most def, but it wasn't and they didn't. hence the shitty comparison.
