The Meta glassholes have arrived

(1) Don't v-loggers already walk around with a camera like in "first-person"?

(2) A Quest 3 headset is really obvious, so one can't be stealthy with it.

(3) Why should the cafe's address be blanked out?

The article also seems to assume that public Quest 3 users are attention-seeking, while I think they're just having fun using AR in public. I don't see why one should feel bad wearing a headset around.

The engineered click-baity outrage killer google glass - a curious fun product.

To put it bluntly journalists who push the “glasshole” narrative are attention-seeking parroting assholes.

The ubiquity of the smartphone camera and the public revelations about government surveillance did much to normalize recording in public.

It would be nice to establish norms and laws around anonymization of facial recordings and the need to auto-blur.

But I wouldn’t count on public outrage to hold the line on recording. I don’t anticipate the degree of public backlash we saw with glass.

First off I’ve never heard of these supposed “glass holes” before so either their hype failed or the title has mismatched expectations with the zeitgeist (“have arrived”). They proceed to show several tweets of people using them but don’t provide a polished critique of their own (at least not up front). It also felt like a more accurate description about what makes these different from Oculus headsets would have been nice.

I’ll admit to not having finished the article. It was just really poorly written in my opinion. Maybe someone else can point out what it is that makes it so seemingly unpolished and tabloid-like? I’m having trouble with it.
