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

And rightfully so.

yeah the camera is the troublesome part. Thing is it is useful for camera tracking.

    microphone has many more basic uses. taking notes. voice command. I mean we all realize all the smartphones have both of these things right. I mean that is why I don't really like them but I would more like AR although realistically not in a corp is controlling everything way. If it was open source and local and under my control that would be super cool.

    Eh. It's already pretty easy to conceal a microphone. Harder to conceal a camera.

    Actually something I worry about ….. my glasses have tiny embedded magnets for “click-on” sunglasses. Maybe they could be mistaken for tiny cameras on pervert glasses

    It's actually pretty easy to conceal. there's plenty of investigative reporting with hidden cameras and nobody's none the wiser. The fact that they have to add a light to the glasses proves that even if you hide it in plain sight, people will still miss it.
