grue comments on Meta’s new AI creep glasses will record 24-7 without a light

I just bought new glasses and got an IR-blocking lens coating that's supposed to thwart facial recognition from things like these and Flock cameras and whatnot. It's not active disruption via electronics, but it is a countermeasure...

Countermeasures are good, despite them not being active...It's important to disrupt these terrible techs whenever possible!

They also make hats with IR LEDs that blind the cameras.

I thought IR only applies to night vision or low light modes, which not all cameras even use.

most surveillance cameras, including the ones being discussed in Meta glasses, just use regular optical sensors for well illuminated environments.

wouldn't IR blocking be completely useless when theres no Infrared LEDs projecting at you?
