Earlier quoted context omitted.

That would be like antropic and google crying about china stealing the weights that were originally built by scraping as fuck stolen content :-)

> That would be like antropic and google crying about china stealing the weights that were originally built by scraping as fuck stolen content :-) do you really see a relation between the two, or are you just willfully 'buying an advertisement' by trying to shape a metaphor from the social qualms that you wish to rebroadcast to people? in other words, no -- this isn't at all similar to the companies that steal media…

Well, at least Chinese paid for api access and all the tokens.

Projects like this are useful not only for identifying creeps nearby, but also for highlighting a broader issue: once AI glasses become common, everyone nearby becomes part of the experiment.

I recently switched away from my usual brand when they started shipping AI-enabled glasses. That was my small way of opting out.

Bought my first pair of Meta glasses in Oct 2023 and overall I really enjoying using smart glasses! They are great for quickly/easily capturing life experiences. Also, while traveling or wherever asking and getting information on things your looking at - it's cool & useful. Tho Meta makes trash as my 1st pair died after 14 months of use after a software update and then my 2nd pair only lasted 4 months after some wate…

Do you have children? I frequently want to record things my daughter does but I find that my phone is not close at hand. I am curious if the latency to record is low-enough and I don't want to distract my daughter while she's doing whatever she's doing. I just want to capture the moment for later without interrupting the moment. They advertise it as this but I am curious what it's like in actuality.

They are great just for that and many instances you want to quickly take a pic and not interupt a moment.

Tried this on a Pixel 9, after allowing permissions the Start Scanning button does nothing, and there's nothing in the debug log. I do like the idea and might try again in the future if it gets updated. Seems like a good candidate for F-Droid instead of Google Play.

I'm having the same problem on a Pixel 7

Currently detects via Meta, Essilor or Snap company ID. So it won't detect my XReal's. I purposefully bought my XReal now because it feels like they might be one of the last models released without cameras. But theoretically I could have the XReal Eye attachment on my glasses, and could be taking video through that. I don't, but the XReal user next to me might. Of course the USB wire hanging from my ear probably make…

Looking at this almost unanimously negative comment section, on a tech website, it appears you should be concerned about your safety while wearing anything that could be seen as being "smart". I imagine a non-tech crowd would be even more negative.

That's because you are intentionally not included in it. Only him and his rich owning class buddies are, the rest of us are only profit-generating NPCs.

So the bodycam that I have because of threats to my person is okay and somehow different?

I might be misreading your comment so that being said:

If you wear a body cam because you feel threatened, hopefully you tell others that you're potentially recording them. The other catch is that the smart glasses do more than simply record video such as facial recognition and so on. Often these are things that have privacy ramifications that neither the wearer or the observer know exactly.
