Laughed very hard at this. Well done. Feel like you must have made this observation a while ago and just waited for your moment.

My concern was whether the glasses might record or transmit data while switched off or in standby mode. From what I can tell, they don’t do this intentionally. So the risk is broadly similar to other modern electronic devices.

The creepiness concern is real, but I think people misplace where the actual surveillance happens. The most consequential stores of personal data aren’t ad networks they’re things like banks, hospitals, insurers, and telecoms. These institutions hold information about your health, finances, movements, and relationships, indexed and searchable by employees you’ve never met, governed by policies you’ve never read.

Realistically, there’s very little an individual can do to completely opt out.

My take is: if the main outcomes are that I get shown ads for things I don’t need and my facecomputer knows the difference between a fork and a spoon… I… I can live with that.

Spent ages building my own work management system only to realise I was just taking the scenic route to eMacs.

Very excited by all this! Have been searching for something like this for so long!

Isn’t that the shortest sentence in the bible or something?

- brought to you by the academic fields that can reliably predict almost nothing.

As long as crypto investors don’t ask to be bailed out by the government, I am fine with almost all the scammy behaviour.

Wait till they find out about Hacker News …

The Washington Post (a media organisation) malign Meta/Facebook (a media organisation) who were maligning TikTok (a media organisation).

Perhaps the most blatant case of "Always accuse your enemy of exactly what you are doing yourself."
