This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
I remember being at a conference when a guy walked up to a group of us chatting. wearing a Google Glass. Everyone stopped talking, turned around, and just scattered. A while later he walked into the men's room and someone reported him to security. That afternoon, the glass was gone.
Guess nobody learned that lesson.
At what point will we not be able to detect them?
And those were just assumptions about if it was recording. People should make similar assumptions about someone holding their phone or carrying it in their shirt pocket.
All I’m saying is the fact we already have recording devices everywhere (our phones) means the transition into acceptance for glasses will happen. As long as the usefulness of the glasses is high enough.
The usefulness of Google Glass was basically zero. So it went away quickly. The whole project was just intended to be a stunt, so Google could look like they were ahead of the curve. I’m convinced of that.
Smart glasses would be really cool to have. It would be nice to be able to integrate my phone's functionality into my glasses, that I don't wear.
But I don't want AI glasses that are permanently on.
If these people were dropped into an industrial meat grinder it would be a net positive
This tech could be life changing for blind or deaf people
Too bad it’s not being designed for them.
Remember in 2013 when we shouted down Google from doing this exact shit and now Harvard dropouts think they’ve cured cancer by “inventing” it?
God I fucking hate this planet
Pretty soon it will just be AI glasses talking to one another all the way down.
what? they didn't make them powered by the blockchain? they're slipping.
While Meta’s glasses have an indicator light when their cameras and microphones are watching and listening as a mechanism to warn others that they are being recorded, Ardayfio said that the Halo glasses, dubbed Halo X, do not have an external indicator to warn people of their customers’ recording. “For the hardware we’re making, we want it to be discreet, like normal glasses,” said Ardayfio, who added that the glasses record every word, transcribe it, and then delete the audio file. Privacy advocates are warning about the normalization of covert recording devices in public.... Under the hood, the smart glasses use Google’s Gemini and Perplexity as its chatbot engine, according to the two co-founders. Gemini is better for math and reasoning, whereas they use Perplexity to scrape the internet, they said.
These evil af people.
This will be extra fun when it hits two-party consent states and lawsuits roll out.
"no reasonable expectation of privacy" in public spaces. Then you have multi-member living spaces. One member is against, others are for.
Don't worry, they're probably going to he big and stupid looking in reality. Plus, the obnoxious AI bro wearing them will be easy to identify.
Your Scientists Were So Preoccupied With Whether Or Not They Could, They Didn’t Stop To Think If They Should
Per my recent submission to the galactic council (most recent human newspaper), they practically couldn’t save themselves even if they wanted to. Parasitizing their brains through my eyeglass network is a mercy, and now we are one voice planet wide.
Whoa. Too smart for Harvard?! Ultra slay! I'm gonna crypto invest in these bros yesterday!!
Harvard makes irl Super Villains.
We do what we must because we can.
For the good of all of us; except the ones who are dead.
But theres no use crying over every mistake
Well this is how that technology is going to play out. For the first couple years it will be extremely helpful, to the point that the users stop depending on their own internal memories and their brains start pruning that functionality out. Then generative AI will be used to fill in missing details prior to the start of using them. And then they are going to slowly start feeding more and more lies until they are cheerful about being slaves.
What a gaping, wretched asshole.
