Meta’s Next Pair of Smart Glasses May Drastically Tone Down the Creep Factor

Cameras on your face, as it turns out, can be used for all sorts of unsavory stuff, but there is one way to prevent that, and it’s by removing them from the equation entirely. According to a report from The Information, that’s exactly what Meta is planning to do with a new generation of smart glasses…

That’s a step in the right direction. I still would never use anything made by Meta, but I think smart glasses have the potential to be a pretty cool thing. Without the stealth pervert cameras of course.

Edit: wait a minute. I’ve literally never looked into what smart glasses actually do but I always assumed they had some kind of display. I’m just learning that, literally, the main selling points are an open ear speaker, the pervert cameras and fucking ai? Are you joking my ass? I hate these things even more. I thought the whole point was to have some crazy augmented reality display over everything like VR headsets or something. Holy shit these things are dumb. They have zero potential to be useful for anything, with or without the cameras. Woof.
