Ew, imagine spending money to wear the privacy invasion of everyone around you on your face
Didn't end well for the people a decade ago with Google glass
-
I always say the same thing about Tesla owners, and similar things about people that use Google Home/Alexa/Siri.
We've rolled out the red carpet for Big Brother, and we've paid them to do it.

android zuckerberg still trying to control human minds through tech.

They'd better not, for the safety of wearers. I can't be the only one who remembers the way that people wearing the Google Glasses:
Google started selling a prototype of Google Glass to qualified "Glass Explorers" in the US on April 15, 2013, for a limited period for $1,500, before it became available to the public on May 15, 2014. It has an integrated 5 megapixel still/720p video camera. The headset received a great deal of criticism amid concerns that its use could violate existing privacy laws.
On January 15, 2015, Google announced that it would stop producing the Google Glass prototype.
The incident where an entire pub harangued and ejected someone for wearing a pair is a standout. People generally don't want their private or public interactions and likenesses recorded or livesteamed by someone wearing a camera on their face, even though it's less obtrusive than someone walking about with a camcorder pointing it at everyone/thing they see.

i'm shocked.

Is there a way to scramble this stuff?
-
If you see them in the wild, you can physically scramble them underneath your shoes.
-
Shakespeare once wrote Heavy is the head that wears the crown of infrared LEDs. LED and hat technology since Shakespeare's time has greatly advanced so any old Joe with an afternoon and elbow grease can at least blind the eggs instead of directly scrambling them.
-
Maybe infrared LEDs blasting out light? I'm not sure what wavelengths the camera takes in.
-
-
I hope they provide insurance. I'm clumsy. I might accidentally knock them off someone's face and step on them.

Anti facial recognition glasses.
IR blocking lenses, reflective frames.
Another way to fuck with a lot of cameras is basically jerry rig some high powered IR LEDs onto your glasses frames, but that does also require a power source and ... i guess either a switch, or a battery that is easy to pop in and out.
Im not aware of anyone actually making and selling those, tho.
...
Basically, it can roughly be analogized to stealth tech for a jet:
Reflectacles... are roughly the equivalent of steath RAM and a bit of a mix of scattering radar waves and also active jamming.... visual range gets fucked by the reflective frames, ir blocking lenses... block and absorb IR.
The 'jerry right IR lights into your frames' option... is more like massive EM jamming done by an ELINT aircraft. You'll basically just show up as an indescirnable smudge spot, very detectable by cameras... but not identifiable by most cameras, if your IR lamps are strong enough to overload their sensors.
...
Neither of these are guaranteed to work in all situations.
Some cameras can handle massive IR intensity, others have algos that say, identify people not by facial recognition, but by gait analysis... exactly how you carry your self as you walk/run.
-
These have been discussed in another sub and only work at night.
-
The reflectactles?
Well, thats good to know.
Maybe augment them with IR lamps?
Hrm, it just now occurs to me, if you were to do a jerry rigged IR lamp setup, it might make sense to have something like a dimmer switch, or alternate modes of flashing in various timed or random sequences... may be more or less effective depending on the distance to the kind of camera(s) you're trying to fuck with, balanced with overall battery life.

No one wants Meta AI. Why does Zuck think they do?
-
The investors want it, for now
-
I doubt he cares what you think. He's not even guessing. He's just 'splaining shit to get suckers to think anything long enough to let his rig roll.
-
-
Anyone wearing those and coming up to me is getting them fucking slapped off
-
People say stuff like this online but it's just dumb. These glasses intentionally look like normal ray bans so you probably wouldn't notice. The only time I've noticed someone wearing them, it was a friend of mine so I'm not going to be an asshole. Are you an asshole?
-
-
This isn't really news... We all knew this when it came out that it would collect everything it can. I mean it's Facebook, what else would they do?
-
They are doing this with all the Ray-Bans they've sold? That's crazy! There could be dozens of them.
-
still too many
-
Maybe even... several
