    The patent system is a joke.

    Literally everyone and their dog has had this thought. I remember Linus talking about it on the WAN show when it still was an initialism. Hell, it was an idea even back when the Terminator came out.

    The patent is either worthless or much more narrow than described

    Is there such a thing as a handheld rechargeable EMP?

  • I vaguely remember seeing a video of someone modifying a taser to be an EMP using coil wire. IIRC it needs to be close to the target, almost touching it to be effective. At that point, if you have a taser and want to deal some numbers on the creep, just tase them and stomp the glasses.

    There is so much obvious prior art that should invalidate this, from multiple sci-fi franchises.

    I'm going to say this: I don't think all the data centres being put up are for public llm use. I think they're for AI surveillance networks. No need to use mobile phones or cards when you can have an AI spot someone from CCTV camera footage.

    Are there any non-pervert glasses? Like no camera but with built in ear buds and ability to show notifications on your glasses? Like a smartwatch but in your glasses with earbud built in.

    Eh, I could see microphone since it's now common to see people walking around with ear buds that all have microphones. That way I can make a phone call using the glasses. And like a heads up display with the time, count of messages waiting for reading/response, what ever other notifications.

    Like imagine if a hypoglycemic person gets a notification right in their field of view. Before it effects their mood or bodily functions, when blood sugar is below a certain point "go eat something, current blood sugar is x". You can get these apps on your phone but you gotta check your phone. It's better than years ago where you needed constant blood draws to check every few hours but could be improved.

    Maybe an alarm system to pops up "appointment with doctor in 45 minutes, leave soon to arrive on time". Now you can do it on your phone, but you can miss it if your not constantly checking your phone. The current solution is a smart watch but it would be better directly in your glasses.

    None of this requires Ai. None of this requires a camera.

    Facebook really wants a legal monopoly on the concept of pervert glasses, don't they?

    Living in the moment is lost for future generations. I am so glad I'm old enough to have been able to be drunk and do so many stupid funny things without people recording it and watch it out of context.

    Hell I‘m glad I could post shit on the internet as a dumb teen and no one is able track it back to me. Or at least very likely not. Those forums no longer even exist and never asked me for a phone number or verification anyway. No such luxury for future generations.

    Reminds me of Sam Altman saying he uses AI to make a podcast about his kids sports game so they can listen to it on the way to school. As if talking to your children wasn't an option.

    All these tech bros creating solutions in search of a problem.

    If you see people wearing meta glasses, make fun of them. It should be the latest most uncool thing ever. DO NOT fuck them.

  • [–] 2 points 3 months ago

    This is great! It's been frankly hard work avoiding using Meta, Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, Threads and all of Zuckerberg's other merciless surveillance and manipulation systems, and now I don't have to worry about avoiding it any more because I don't need to give deliberate consent at all, I only need to be within range of someone who has given unwitting consent on my behalf. And inside my own home when I'm my most unguarded and sincere, believing I'm only sharing my thoughts with the people present. What a win!

    I'm not attending any shindig where anyone is wearing these privacy invading glasses. And if I'm hosting I'm kicking them out.

    What I don't get, is people keep saying how dangerous this is for women, knowing our government doesn't give a shit about women.

    We need to get the rightwing voters pissed over these, talk about how pedos are going to be following their kids around all day with these.

    Get em to start confronting people in glasses demanding to see if theyre recording. They'll be false positives of course, but that's why we need to stop saying "meta glasses".

    Oakley partners with them, call them "Oakley cameras" or something, make the pushback hurt any large brand that partners with them. People will be unwilling to buy any Oakley's, because idiots will confront them to see if it's a camera.

    That's how we beat this shit, facts and logic ain't going to work, the idiots are already being manipulated and it's easier to manipulate them some more than explain real concerns.

    Meta removed the facial recognition feature 2 days ago because of public pushback over privacy concern. But Facebook knows how this game is played: people latch onto some other egregious thing they get worked up about and lose interest - or they get ground down into compliance - and the facial recognition feature will make a quiet comeback eventually.
