"If the LED is covered, you will be required to uncover it."
Can you post where it says that, all I can find is "you will be notified"?

Sorry - I am confused. Are you saying that we should accept creeps lurking around taking photos of people?
You should accept the fact that, while out and about in public, you have no expectation of privacy. In your own home - sure. Such is the price of freedom.
I am confused again. How am I free if my own persona is up for grabs by a business?

You can't deny others that freedom and expect to attain it yourself, too.
That you don't exercise that right is immaterial and has no bearing on whether I should be able to freely exercise that right as well.

The base, regular Wayfarers were cannibalized and cheapened out by Luxottica a long time ago. I'm fortunate enough to have a vintage pair from the mid-1980's that still look brand new. They have higher quality zyl frames, polarized glass Bausch & Lomb lenses, and, crucially, five barrel bolted hinges. They're built like a tank. The new ones are so cheap I won't even wear them. Cheap plastic, plastic lenses, spring hi…
I work in the optical industry. I do R&D/quality control for a lens manufacturer and agree Luxottica is an awful company, but your comment is way off base. It's actually quite wrong. Your "zyl" acetate frames aren't higher quality. Modern acetate is stronger, lighter, less brittle, less subject to warping from temperature change, and more resistant to UV damage which impacts brittleness and color. 40 years of materia…

Luxottica is probably doing very nicely on this partnership, and may well be offering Apple a substantial price cut to compensate. I had never heard of 'Rayban' before this Apple announcement! (Not that I am the target market for sunglasses anyway, in dark and wet Great Britain)
Apple?

You have the freedom to be outside and also record everything you perceive. You can't deny others that freedom and expect to attain it yourself, too. That you don't exercise that right is immaterial and has no bearing on whether I should be able to freely exercise that right as well.
Pricing is interesting. $299 for the Wayfarer model when the base Wayfarer goes for $171 on the Rayban website. If (and this is a big if) you assume Luxottica takes the same cut on both models, then Meta is selling a camera, headphones, etc, conveniently packaged into a very small form-factor for $128. If I were in the market for a new pair of sunglasses, it isn't hard to seem me splurging another $128 for something…
Omnipresent video input is going to be essential for Artificial Self-Instantiation AGIs early next year. Your personal assistant can’t help you if you need to tell it what you’re doing all the time!
Agents barely work as of now. OpenAI’s plugins that ~do~ things like browse are still quite slow.

All the bad moments would be recorded too, and many of the recordings would be outside of your control.
I would choose what to play, but of course, the "outside my control" part is the problem.
