It should be socially normalized to eject people wearing these from your premises and/or life.

I don’t care what convenience feature this possibly has, if you’re wearing a data miner you have no place near me. Fuck off.

I had an appliance delivered from Home Depot, and after it was installed, the person mentioned he had Meta glasses on. I didn't realize the whole time he was wearing them in my home, because I didn't know what they looked like. I felt uneasy.

And to be clear, I would be uneasy with this being made by any company, but I am quadruple uneasy with it being fucking Meta. Fuck meta, fuck Facebook, fuck their shitty business model and their algorithm.

Most companies I can give like, they make SOME good shit. Even Google. Not Meta, our entire civilization would be better off if we shoved all their bullshit into an ocean.

I recently noticed that there are a ton of gig jobs (like this https://newyork.craigslist.org/brk/lbg/d/brooklyn-office-err...) that pay manual laborers to do their ordinary work with a wearable in order to train world/vision/robotics models. So expect a lot more of this horrifying intrusion unless the cutlure shifts.

haha maybe you are down voted for the crass expression but I do agree with the sentiment - I never gave consent to be filmed in public, let alone for the express purpose of assisting zuckerbergs torture nexus (or for filling his minions' spank bank apparently). however I don't know of any precedent that considers physical violence as a valid response to being filmed without consent

We are beyond precedent in so many respects, violence is likely the only way back to a more sane timeline.

the powers that be will always quash discussion of violence as it threatens their monopoly on such behaviour , all that can be said here is that a good god is vengeful. otherwise, imagine being a child or elderly during a time of forced precedent rejection .. it must be very scary

Amish communities exist. You are free to join them.

Nuance also exists. For example: I love electricity. I do not love face-mounted facial recognition spy technology.
