Yeah, but Meta is the stalker that planted the bushes outside your house so they can have a place to hide while they're fapping as they're getting more data from you so they can... I mean, they don't know what they want to do with the data, but they have it. They also said they like the way you smell.
And yet people with Google glasses were called the glassholes. What will we can people with Meta glasses?

How about Dad! I use them to film my toddler doing cute things without having to pull out the phone constantly and being more present. It'd be nice if people didn't call me names for doing so :)

#273I'd like to wear an EXACT OPPOSITE of this... Namely, if someone is using Facebook's AI-powered glasses in my vicinity, I want to get a notification (of some sort) so that I can avoid those persons
What if these existed, but Facebook sold them?
Re: Meta's ships facial recognition on smart glasses
#274This is terrible but inevitable for privacy. Meta is going to exploit this and hoard all the data all the while claiming they conform to all the laws of the land. I just wish this doesn’t take off but they are targeting sub $500 and it’s bound to get all the instagram influencers and heavy users to buy.
It is absolutely not inevitable. Please don't spread this defeatism. It is absolutely possible to ban the use of these things in public.

It should be socially normalized to eject people wearing these from your premises and/or life. I don’t care what convenience feature this possibly has, if you’re wearing a data miner you have no place near me. Fuck off.
I had an appliance delivered from Home Depot, and after it was installed, the person mentioned he had Meta glasses on. I didn't realize the whole time he was wearing them in my home, because I didn't know what they looked like. I felt uneasy.

#276Start up idea: Ordinary glass (as in spectacles) frames that have a near IR LED on the bridge and on the side. PWM to be efficient, bright, but erratic clock of around 10Hz. Want a picture of me? Ask, or use film.
I expect cameras will start to come with built-in IR filters in that case.

#277Headline should be modded, these models aren't actively wired in anywhere. No idea why they'd be shipping these but the HN headline doesn't even match the blog headline.
It’s on your device, you just haven’t been granted access to it.

Buy a proper camera. Your memories will be a lot higher quality and you'll go from creepy guy uploading toddler footage for Zuck to watch to someone who loves their kid enough to run a real camera.
Parents have enough to carry around just because you don’t like a feature that is default off unless you ask for cloud analysis.
I don’t care what happens to Zuck, cancel him to all hell for all I care but maybe be a little more curious about why people use the tech they do past “people are stupid”.

“We will launch during a dynamic political environment where many civil society groups that we would expect to attack us would have their resources focused on other concerns,” according to the document from Meta’s Reality Labs, which works on hardware including smart glasses.[1] [1] https://www.nytimes.com/2026/02/13/technology/meta-facial-re...
They really are mask off evil now. Any idea what those "other concerns" could be?

#280The number of times those get grabbed of someone’s face and stomped on will be greater than zero. And businesses will have signs for No guns/spyglasses.
