I wouldn't buy these type of glasses either. I have neither the money nor the need so I'm not in the target group anyways. And if I had money, I would under no circumstances give it to a company like Meta.
I don't think the huge privacy concerns are going to hold. There is all sorts of equipment people can buy that is less obvious to film you surreptitiously. Always scan your air b'n'b, people. We are virtually all okay with strangers filming shit in our vicinity with their smartphones as long as we feel it isn't us they're filming. I think this will over time translate to an unbotheredness w/r/t smart glasses. And after a while even the LED light altering others to a rolling camera will disappear. These devices become main stream by their usefulness. The HUD for directions or names of acquaintances is one useful aspect. The immediate way to record your toddler's first steps or the funny face they pulled. An interaction with the law. Over time, this will outweigh the creepiness that we have perceived since the Google glasshole days.
