Anyone using Meta Ray-Bans should be aware that your data is collected and used for AI training. There is no opt-out unless you're from EU. Also, the old Meta View companion app one day was renamed into the Meta AI app and started to provide ChatGPT like functionality.

1) “Meta AI with camera use is always enabled on your glasses unless you turn off ‘Hey Meta", which basically makes glasses defunct.

2) “voice transcripts and stored audio recordings are otherwise stored for up to one year to help improve Meta’s products.”

and do you think they will stop using Whatsapp if they know Meta is the parent ?

I think 99% of WhatsApp users would gladly stop using WhatsApp and switch to something like Signal, if they had verbal agreements of "everyone else" that they would also switch. Everyone is only on WhatsApp because everyone is on WhatsApp. That is why they tolerate the Meta ickiness of it.

I bet there are more people knowing what Meta is than Signal or Telegram.

I'm sorry but these all look terrible still. Ya'll look like dorks walking around on with them on. It's such a privacy invasion too. So many people are just going to get punched in the face, literally.

This sounds like a product idea to me. Make a website that shows the status of your friends that are willing to switch to signal. You send an invite to all your friends first so the list keeps up to date as soon as one of your friend made a decision. If everybody agreed you can switch as a whole. Even better if signal would implement it themself!

They have a brand problem. Absolutely no way I buy anything from Meta.

Which makes you wonder about Ray-Ban. Are they aware that their involvement with Meta risks hurting their brand? Those of us who are critical of Meta might be niche enough that it doesn't matter, but they must have factored that in.

I wouldn't want to wear earbuds while doing anything active, the chance of them falling out is too high.

I use shockz for running - stable and your ears are totally unobstructed.

Yea AirPods transparency is great, but Shockz is another level. It’s even better than the ray bans because other people can’t hear the audio, and way more comfortable than any in-ear ones.

Err what? How do glasses that let you procrastinate when physically connecting to people help that?!

Also the video demo has no sound and one of the examples genuinely looked like the wearer was having a text a convo with someone whilst sat across from people at dinner…

All babies look the same, out of anything private you could film by mistake, a baby seems pretty harmless.

Face recognition is uninuitively good. Google Photos was able to pick out faces from my baby photos pretty easily.

Really? Mine lumps together completely unrelated people whilst failing to group together the same person.

It seems like there are a lot of negative comments about Meta's glasses which is surprising to me as a regular user. I bought these both in clear and sunglasses and I love them. I've recorded some of the most amazing videos of my baby with them. Listening to music is fantastic as it's different from regular headphones since you can still hear the world around you — I've even done a few longer bike rides with them and…
