There was beans before there were titty memes, also there's a lot of owl and cat pictures, and random comics

Alexandrite is pretty great

I think if you can plan for somehow allowing concent for these things then you can also plan for bypassing it. Also it would need to film you to work out if you don't consent and then it's already breached the consent.

Yeah because hacking devices isn't a thing or anything ..

Legal doesn't mean right. There are a whole host of situations where you shouldn't be filming and if someone is filming you want them to be obvious about it. Schools, playgrounds, change rooms etc.

I don't think that's true, your personal privacy as the owner of the device is one thing, everyone else's right to not be continuously photographed is another. Having Valve operate it over meta doesn't solve that. Also, what happens when Gabe does and the investment bank that buys it decides they want to sell everyone data to maximise profit?

The problem isnt your privacy, it's everyone else's. If there are glasses with cameras then some arsehole is running around photographing people without their permission. You might argue that if you're out in public then you can be photographed but that's a shit attitude, if someone is walking around photographing people they should at least have to make it obvious so people can have a say at the time or at least know about it before it turns out they are now an AI deepfake pornstar.

That could be helpful, I think most tech and inlecs would find it more annoying than anything ..

That's not really AR then is it, AR requires the overlay on reality, I guess it could be like a game OSD but a lot of that detail is probably more annoying than anything. A live map might be good sometimes, but do I need my heart rate showing all the time in regular day to day life? is it helpful to have a shopping list taking up space in my vision all the time? How do I interact with it if it can't see my hands, do I then have to talk to it constantly to manipulate it? Can other people manipulate my OSD while I'm using it by saying the right thing? Seems pretty gimmicky ..

That's not AR though is it?

AR has so many unsolvable privacy issues it's wild ..
