    Meta could build a set of glasses that lets me view Pluto, washes the dishes, and gives me a loving blowjob, and I wouldn’t let them get within 10m of me.

    I have semi face-blindness, it takes several meetings before I can start recognising a person’s face. Something like this would actually be a lifesaver for me, just so I can know who I’m talking to and whether I’ve met them before.

      I don’t have many issues, but my memory can sometimes suck, so I would also like something like this.

      But not from Meta. I need to be 100% in control of the data before I’d ever feel comfortable wearing them in public.

    It’s wild to me that this hasn’t become the news of the day.

    If I were RayBan I would jump ship right now before brand image is tanked. Why would you trust anyone wearing RayBans after this?

      You can do this with any camera, including the one in all the phones out there. The only thing specific to the glasses is that it’s more convenient and inconspicuous to be wearing it on your face.

      Might as well have put the iPhone in the title for more clickbait. Anyone dedicated enough can make or buy tons of different kinds of wearables that could do the same.

      The key issue is that such a database exists and is so easily searchable.

    porn has driven every digital invention from vhs to web. metas stupid glasses will be sold out when you get a realtime nude-filter. coz then everyone would also accept ads in the fiel of view.

    The company behind Threads, which we’ve allowed to now infest the fediverse with little evident opposition. Cheers y’all.

    First of all bullshit. Try me. A modicum of effort towards privacy would protect you from this. Seems like a healthy way to bring attention to the bigger issue at play here.

    Also - awesome. I have terrible propsagnosia. It’s crippling socially and especially for me in the workplace and and my scientific career (there’s a decent amount of networking and ass kissing in science, and if you can’t keep track of people at all it’s tough to play along). I’d love something like this - congrats to the devs.

      Unfortunately this does not count.

      It does not matter if they have 99% or 99.99% of the sheepfolk in their pocket. It would not even matter if it were only 90%. It is still everybody. They got everybody. They won.

        Who even cares anymore. The sheepfolk don’t. They cheered on the death of our free and open internet. It’s everyone for themselves now.

      You can have tools for recognition and not identification. Identification likely includes information that someone did not intend to share with you.

    This is not a technology issue. Never reveal you real name, address and phone number on the internet.
