My boss, he owns a pair and is trying to convince our chief operations manager to get pairs for the whole department so we can take pictures of our work.

We already get a bonus on our pay stubs for having our phones available so we all find this dumb.

All this talk about these glasses that dont actually exist yet just boosts the value of the company so the founders can cash out. Its more marketing than product. I dont care if someone wants to walk around recording everything they see and hear they can enjoy their phone and glasses running out of battery in an hour and getting $1000 in api fees.

Are you kidding me? I saw my coworker wearing these in a Zoom meeting a few weeks ago

[–] unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 10 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Camera glasses like this have existed for like a decade. Modern ones can probably run for a full work day if all they do is record.

[+] Fizz@lemmy.nz -16 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

Uh no. I'll use the new Meta glasses as a comparison, which have up to 4 hours battery life and dont even record 24/7 and are still more bulky than the glasses in this article (the glasses in this article arent real but still). The meta glasses dont constantly run AI like the glasses in this article either. There are no glasses that constantly record and run AI on those recordings that run for more than a few hours.

People are getting mad as fuck over a concept from two grad students and their outrage is being farmed so they can sell their startup at a higher price.

Read boii

[+] Fizz@lemmy.nz -11 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Why would i care about that completely irrelevant statement? No one is talking about glasses that "only record" and the glasses that can only record dont do it 24/7 and dont last over 4hr so you arent even correct or adding anything. If glasses like this have been around for a decade then why are we getting mad?

[–] unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

Because people are using them to violate other peoples privacy NOW and its getting more popular. Covertly recording conversations, recording people in bathrooms, changing rooms, during medical checkups, etc. The AI is just something that makes it slightly worse, but the recording is the actual problem. And as this whole post is about privacy concerns, the recording is all that matters. And even if its "just" recordings, you can feed them to the AI after you get home to get the same level of surveillance.

I think we're talking past each other.

I'm pointing out that these people are getting mad at marketing for glasses that dont exist and you're bringing up valid privacy concerns with already existing products that can do similar things.

You are right that always on recording glasses are a terrible thing. I just dont care that people are getting "mad" over the advertising of these glasses in the article. Glasses that can do this kind of invasive recording has been around for ages and are very niche so this specific product gives me no reason to get mad. I'd get mad if this was popular a and selling out everywhere but thats not the case.
