Smart glasses equipped with cameras, microphones, and AI are a creeping privacy and security nightmare, prompting backlash.

And rightfully so.

    You kinda proved my point. Instead of addressing the argument, you went straight to insults. Thats usually what people do when they don’t have a counterargument. America has a real crisis of trust.

    Confidence in institutions, the media, corporations, government, and even each other has dropped for years. In a low trust society, people create records to protect themselves. Recording glasses aren’t about wanting a surveillance state. They’re about having an objective record when accusations fly or context gets lost.

    If people acted with a little more maturidiscourse. (Hint hint idiot), these would be a lot less neccessary. They’re basically the wearable version of a dashcam.

      Adding on to that.

      You come across as naive and inexperienced…as such, you should know the world is full of people who lie, scam, extort, and make false accusations.

      America’s trust crisis didn’t appear out of nowhere. Enron, Madoff, Wells Fargo, bricks& minifigs and countless everyday scams taught people to protect themselves. Recording glasses aren’t about paranoia; they’re a wearable dashcam. Pretending there’s no value in an objective record is a pretty sheltered view of the real world.
