“I was making a funny noise people were honestly crying laughing at,” he claimed in the caption of a followup video. “She was the only person annoyed.
Dude tried turning a commuter train into a content factory. Fuck that. Hire participants. Pay people.
“eth8n” - Ethaten?
Meta tells the people that buy these glasses that they "only record audio and video when you tell them to" but that turned out to be an absolute lie. It's always looking, always listening, and people shouldn't use these fuckin corpo people trackers and advertisement machines.
like the google glass was used for porn as soon as it was released, and then shortly google stopped making them.

A seeming eternity later, Meta has attempted to revive the idea with its Ray-Ban Meta glasses. While it’s arguably a significant technological leap over Google’s early forays
Duh, Google Glass was 2013. A brand new one that Meta pumped an obscene amount of money into had better be much improved to aid the government's warrantless surveillance programs on Americans
Which is what it is, just another platform for intelligence gathering that Meta sells to the government
...and not only are morons voluntarily wearing them, they're paying for the privilege to do so
Some cashier at McDonalds will probably rat her out Luigi-style.
I even let her sit down when she got on the train at 42nd street, and I continued to stand.
Oh wow, everyone look at this chivalrous hero - he was standing when she got on the subway, and graciously “let” a random woman sit. It’s not like he gave up a seat for her, but he still thinks that by “continuing to stand” he somehow did something special that she should be grateful to him for.
I know seats can be a rare opportunity on the NYC subway, especially around 42nd St. But to think that by standing you’re somehow entitled to more respect than anyone else is absurd.
Yeah I understand hating the Meta glasses, but what, are we going to destroy every camera we find in the wild? This is a small piece of a larger problem and I'm just not sure assaulting a stranger on the subway is the way to go about it.
Remember the “old” saying that if the product is free, you’re the product? This is the end stage of that where unwilling and unknowing participants are now the product.
Also, anyone remember gargoyles from Snow Crash?
Peak New York. Love to see it.
I’ve always wanted a pair of glasses with a cool hud, that tells me the time and weather and shows me what song im playing or a text i got. Is that so evil?
The Hero we need.
Reminds me of this story. Some guy went into a Macdonalds in Paris, which for some reason had security guards, and they evidently tried to forcibly remove his G-glasses, which were surgically attached to his head. I believe there was a rumor that the place was mobbed up.
Oh no, god forbid someone records her in the most recorded state on earth.
how is this news?
Nah, she'd only be a hero if she smacked zuck in the face.
