I guess the way to get this regulated is to use the glasses to record cops breaking the law.
Perv glasses
What are these monstrosities
Edit: They are Snap Specs. The exec that greenlit these things should be publicly humiliated.
Can’t tell, so i assume you are.
Heck, people create their own problems by allowing corporations to build and deploy these technologies, and then complain. lol.
Oftentimes those who complain have no control over the the allowed technologies. I still don’t understand how meta glasses that are seemingly secretly filming people against their consent first are allowed in the first place
That looks exactly like the kind of person I thought would wear these.
It’s the CEO, so that doesn’t really surprise
Why do so many of the tech bros look like drowned rats
The Cybertruck of face accessories.
“I just fucking LOVE paying luxury prices to help corporations data mine the universe”
God, I look so fucking cool right now.
Look at his ear. A person could wear this maybe 10 min before his ear hurts so bad he can’t any more.
Smart glasses are a real threat to women, unlike trans people.
But have you considered a trans person with smart glasses?
I’m a trans person but, frankly, smart glasses are for cowards. I just carry a giant DSLR. Makes a meaty click when I take photos. Kinda hard to disguise. Really signals other people “if you don’t want to be photographed on the public, you can, you know, dodge this, because you can see this from a kilometer away”.
Thats why I use a electronic-telescope from my balcony and zoom into the space of other peoples houses. If they didn’t want me looking inside, they should’ve considered me a pervert.
If they didn’t want a pervert looking into their home, they shouldn’t have build walls that are penetrable by millimetre wave radar! It’s not my fault!
Why?
And why not to men?
i don’t know if you know this, but woman face a lot more regular violence in public than men.
so i guess it’s just best practice to focus on the group in a worse situation.
And with luck it can solve both.
Imma be real: the right thing to do is to punch anyone wearing these and smash them on the ground. Unless you want this to be the new normal…
I agree but would like my xr glasses with no camera to be safe from the punching. They are just a dumb display to watch movies and play games when I travel.
This is also my concern. I have the XReal One Pro but without the camera attachment. Anyone who knows these glasses would be able to see that they don’t have the camera. But, if everyone starts thinking all glasses that look like this are secretly filming, many of them are unlikely to know the difference between me watching Netflix and me spy-filming.
Same. If I get one and tape/remove the camera, no one will punch me, right?
I need an AI coach, because humans are abussive.
Don’t give them money.
I need an AI coach…
Well… Firstly, no you most likely really don’t. Secondly, even if you do, when you tape the cameras of these things they won’t really be any different from having ChatGPT on your phone.
There is no legitimate reason to own these things other than being prescribed treatments for the visually impaired and ego boosting status machines for imbeciles, literal imbeciles.
I want to be able to tell AI to do stuff while I’m at work, such as pull up courses, but I want to communicate in secret with it.
I’m actually heavily mentally impaired, so need it.
I hope you actually do that and then you are prosecuted according to your local law
Found the stalker-glasses owner
He’s a glasshole
Looking for CP look in this guy’s HDD.
Well that’s an unhinged escalation. Dudes an ass sure but all he said was assaulting people and breaking their property will likely catch charges and you’re fuckin immediately accusing him of being a pedophile? Jesus Christ dude. Like, do we need to check your hard drive?
How great. It is the “You can always tell” bias all over again. With the variety of VR glasses that are out there, good luck memorizing all of them, and feeling like you’re playing Pokémon.
Just like with AI and trans people, a loud minority of irrational people turn to violence, instead of asking for proper legislation. (For the record, I think the legislation on Trans people should be to protect them, making gender affirming care become law, and ban things like hate speech and conversion therapy).
I agree. Punching glassholes sounds good in theory, but a lot of people are extremely stupid. Encouraging to do that, will practically lead to multiple blind people getting punched in the face, even if they are not even wearing VR glasses. I would rather have the pervert glasses wearing idiots walk around, than blind people having to not use their accessibility devices, or having to just stay away from public places in fear of being assaulted.
There has to be some better solution, be it just asking enthusiasticly “hey are those VR glasses? where did you get them?” or “excuse me, are you blind?”, before punching, or some better legislation, or something. Something that does not lead to morons punching blind people regularly.
Thank you for actually getting the point. It is just like that transphobic panic about bathrooms, people pretend to come from a place of love and care, a “Won’t someone think about the children” kind of stance, to justify battery, assault and harassment of anyone they suspect to be the target.
Honestly, mobs are beyond stupid and fail to even comprehend the fact that they can be wrong, but in their own echo chambers, where their own voices and support for their points gets amplified a lot, which leads to even further extremist thinking.
You’re both running interference for the creation of a surveillance state that will absolutely seek to kill our imprison both of you.
Fucking stupid ‘you’re ackshually the same as a bigot’ logic. Genuinely fucking braindead
If your version of preventing surveillance state depends on getting angry mobs to beat up innocents, you definitely need some better ideas and planning. And insulting random people on the internet, without offering anything valuable to the discussion, does not shine a good light on your character.
angry mobs to beat up innocents
Great, you’ve completely made up a circumstance in your head.
It takes one person to smash a pair of these glasses, not an angry mob. Nobody but you said anything about an angry mob, the circumstances are punch + smash the glasses into the ground.
It’s always fucking hyperbole with people like you, meanwhile these fucking nazis are getting a free pass to fill the world with cameras. Kindly, fuck off.
Did you not read my, or the other posters, comments? You are missing the point we both made. Let me try again.
There are a lot of stupid people. Trying to get a lot of people to punch glassholes, will lead those stupid people to also punch people with VR glasses. Which then leads to stupid people actually punching people with glasses. But because they are stupid, they cannot tell which ones are wearing VR glasses, or that someone wearing VR glasses might have them as an accessibility device, and not as pervert glasses. So they will punch people who have glasses, that to them, look like VR glasses, but are not.
A lot of blind people wear sunglasses, that can look like VR glasses, in places people do not usually wear sunglasses. This means, getting a lot of stupid people, to punch people with glasses, will lead to a lot of innocent people - especially blind ones - not releated to glassholes in anyway, getting targeted and punched, just for existing in a public place. A lot of people punching random people indiscriminately for wearing glasses, because they hate glassholes, is an angry mob. Thus, that plan leads to an angry mob, punching a lot of innocent people.
Trans people are definitely cool but everything else you said is dumb as fuck.
The genie is out of the bottle, and there is no way to put it back in. Instead of useless violence, things should be legislated and regulated.
Do I think those glasses are stupid, infringe the right to privacy of anyone around them and are being used for nefarious purposes? 100%.
Do I believe that committing indiscriminate violence on people one believes to be wearing meta glasses will make them disappear? Absolutely not.
But there is no way to have a logical conversation with someone who is foaming at the mouth. Especially when it involves topics such as AI and surveillance, that are so massively polarizing.
Historically violence has always been the answer.
Yes, but even then the success rate isn’t great.
Luddite
The luddites were based
People who say dumb simpleton shit like this don’t know their own history.
*I may have misread that as sarcasm lol
Were you just born an asshat or did something make you this way? You were actively pro violence against glassholes earlier in the thread. So clearly you think it is the answer… as it has been to many problems throughout human history…
Are you disagreeing with yourself or did you misread
Would you shut the fuck up. Dork.
You are proving their point.
So funny, rage more. Now go have a meltdown or block me or something.
sorry, what’s bait here? They’re just being belligerent. That’s not bait. Was what you posted bait? Why would you admit that?
I post common sense stuff, and a bit of bait. And admit it just to troll.
Yeah you’re so mature and intelligent with your defense of tech bro douchebag glasses. Clearly I’m baiting you by standing by my initial statement and not giving your limpdick dipshittery any undue deference.
You can block ME you dork ass. Go lick a boot and quit wasting my time
Wow, with that level of reading comprehension, you’re gonna get far in life, kid. Have I defended the glasses at any point? Hell no.
But as I said before, go touch grass, clean the foam out of your mouth and perhaps, get your blood pressure taken.
All I have been saying is that committing straight up assault on people for wearing those abomination glasses is stupid. But if you stan for violence so much, it won’t be a surprise when you stop posting because you landed your ass in jail.
Rage forever, sweet cheeks.
I have a pair of glasses that:
- have built in dual 1080p displays
- two low resolution (800x600 IIRC) IR cameras that are just barely enough for hand and finger tracking (no connected device has access to the camera feed, glasses have no viable onboard storage, recording is literally not possible)
if you punch me in the face on that presumption, you can bet your ass I will go to the fullest extent of the law to have you prosecuted AND you’ll be paying for all the damages.
But please do keep punching people who’ve done nothing to you. That’ll surely turn out well.
That’s a nice plan.
Until you get punched in the face.Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face
Someone’s plan is always a punch in someone’s face
Ah, so now we go straight to assault and battery if we dislike what someone else is wearing?
Next time, make sure you wear a hat. Or don’t. Whichever you choose, I’ll be punching you in the face for the other.
The problem is not what they wear, the problem is that what they wear does bad things to everyone but they still buy it
I fucking don’t want my coversations, my face and other datas being sent to Meta or [insert another bullshit company] without my consent
I doubt i am gonna punch anyone but boyy, if someone else does it, i saw nothing!
I think it’s illegal in my country to have a camera recording in public spaces anyway so either that or we go in court
Read. My. Fucking. First. Comment.
These aren’t Meta glasses I’m talking about. They DO NOT FUCKING RECORD. Video or audio. Audio I guess I could hack, but at this point it’s less useful than the keyword triggers for Siri/Google Assistant/Gemini etc.
The camera feed is processed on-glass, and only detected hand-finger positions are sent to the host device, aka my phone.
Will you also target people whose phones happen to be out, because they could be used for recording? What if I go around using a traditional-ish digital voice recorder to record my thoughts? what about people talking on the phone where the other side is recording and you might be heard? What about stores and their CCTV? What about police and private security with a bodycam? These all record, but interestingly, you only have issue with one specific device where you couldn’t even be fucking bothered to confirm it’s a RECORDING device and immediately jumped onto telling me off for even having one.
Not to mention other recording devices. Apple updated their AirPods with built in translation, and it can pick up voices within about 5-6m radius. Other similar translation devices exist. Other video recording devices that aren’t immediately obvious exist. Where’s the hate for that?
it’s illegal in my country to have a camera recording in public spaces anyway
So you’ll drag every single person who’s recorded a video ever in public to court? Will you be suing every single person whose photos you ended up in the background of?
What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo.
Lol if this were true then you could literally save us from fascism instead of worrying about small fish like the loser you’re arguing with. No one in any of the SOF groups is this sensitive or would give themselves away like that.
I was waiting for an obvious turn of satire towards the end but it never came. I’m disappointed.
It’s copypasta
Oh, haha I feel like I just bit the onion
Pathetic.
I know you are, but what am I?
/mic drop
You’re not a victim. Hush.
Neither are you, so stfu as well.
Have you never gotten in a fight? They’ll be long gone.
Don’t wear them in public, simple as!
You use these as an accessibility device?
No, I mainly use it for on the go media, navigation and such, without having to pull my phone out
Me when I can’t go 10 seconds without some kind of electronic visual stimulus
Or maybe I don’t want to be pulling my phone out every 5 minutes to check directions…
Boooooooooo 👎👎👎👎👎👎
So how many kids have you been filming on your magical video device so far?
Why do you immediately jump to paedophilia? You do know not everyone is you, right?
Also I guess prominently describing that the camera can’t be accessed kinda flew right over your head, didn’t it?
So many lemmings immediately and for no reason start screeching pedophile. I’m guessing it’s because they’re pedophiles and projecting since normal people aren’t thinking about fucking kids like all these people constantly are.
So filming kids automatically means paedo stuff to you? I wasn’t referring to that at all, I was talking about children’s right to anonymity, and how you’re trampling all over that by walking around with those dumb-ass glasses in the streets, past playgrounds, parks, schools etc and streaming it for everyone to see. I would not want someone like you near my kid, because I don’t want him to be filmed by a stranger. If you try for a second to not be obnoxious, good things might happen.
I’m willing to bet the people in your life think you’re fucking exhausting.
An amazing amount of hateful people who pop out from under their rocks when this sort of stuff is discussed. Go ahead and carry the fighting banner for your techno overlords. They won’t thank you when the war has ended. And if creeps want to film my kids in public and post it online, I have a right to protect them, so you can go ahead and keep quiet on that matter.
No, you didn’t mean children’s anonymity, you very heavy handedly implied that I was a paedo.
And, I repeat, THESE GLASSES CAN NOT FUCKING RECORD.
There’s an Artosyn AR9311 SoC inside them, running a barebones Linux firmware. This SoC also has an NPU, running a somewhat basic hand and finger pose recognition model. The two camera feeds are fed into the model, and ANY DEVICE connected to the glasses only gets the processed hand metadata.
Oh, and the only obnoxious person here is you, presuming that I have any interest in your kids, or kids in general, for any recording purposes. Hint: I don’t.
Darling, you are responding to a mob, those things don’t think and have the reading comprehension of a starfish. And as usual, they don’t make a single, logical point, only stupid comments trying to chase for upvotes, without thinking of the valid uses that a device like yours can have.
Don’t let the stupid wave wash you away.
Ah yes, don’t listen to the sheeple who didn’t jump on the wave of useless devices marketed by the data-hungry megacorp.
Read my fucking comment again, moron. It’s not a Meta glass, it doesn’t transmit any analytics to any megacorp, it DOES.NOT.FUCKING.RECORD.
But please keep going on about how you’re not the sheep here when you can’t even read two sentences into a post without jumping on the hate bandwagon.
You gonna jerk him off for us next?
lmfao
I have rayban sunglasses from before the meta glasses trend, and some people think I’m recording them when I’m just wearing prescription glasses 😎😭
The shitty thing is it’s hard not to give the fuckers money.
Luxoticca owns most eyewear brands, optometrist offices, eyewear retailers, and even a ton of optical insurance providers. They control the frames, lenses, and more.
Oakley used to be independent, but they actually stopped lenscrafters from providing lenses for them and bullied their suppliers until Oakley’s stock dropped enough to buy them out. They’re the reason frames that should cost $15 cost $900.
They’re one of the clearest examples of a monopoly in the world, but we just fucking let it continue.
I mean i don’t like the chinese dictatorship but I get my glasses on AliExpress.
Buy Chinese knock offs.
Yes, the reason for $900 frames exist is people who buy them
Nearly 1k for frames? Fuck that. XD Mine were on sale.
Yeah, but they also own the $50 frames.
It’s harder for people who go to the optometrist and get their glasses.
The Luxoticca-owned insurance company makes them use the Luxoticca-owned optometrist that sells Luxoticca-owned frames with Luxoticca-owned lenses.
Moat people don’t even know you can ask the optometrist for your prescription so you can go buy frames and lenses from Zenni or Coastal.
Not sure where you’re located but I’m pretty sure providing the prescription automatically is standard almost everywhere after an eye exam.
I’ve worn glasses for decades and have gotten annual exams in all parts of the world. Always got a printout of my prescription and never had to ask.
You have to specifically asknfor it in the US, and they act like it’s a crazy request. And they usually won’t give you your PD.
I’m US American, and everyone I know including me has had to specifically ask for a copy of the prescription, and they usually try to leave information like the PD off. It’s scummy as fuck.
My prescription glasses are also Rayban. I haven’t had anyone try to say anything tho.
Still better than this fucking turbodork.
I’m in the same boat my friend (ray-ban eye glasses), its a bummer as I prefer thick framed glasses. Mostly because I’m rather rough on them. Wire glasses won’t cut it for me…
Probably doxxing people in real time, what a creep.
