Who would have thought that people wouldn’t want to be surveilled?? What the fuck?? Why???
Greed and sadism.
Because they thought everyone knew they are already doing that.
I mean, we pay hundreds of monies every 2-4 years for the privilege of carrying the latest version of a device that does most of this already.
Genuinely, every person who participated in creating this should be taken out to an island and dumped there, to be forgotten about.
This is vile.
Oh wow! A whole new generation of “glassholes” coming up!
Google Glass at least had the indicator light, and was relatively obvious - this is worse.
Who would buy them in first place
My boss, he owns a pair and is trying to convince our chief operations manager to get pairs for the whole department so we can take pictures of our work.
We already get a bonus on our pay stubs for having our phones available so we all find this dumb.
Not the good guys.
Makes me paranoid now to go out.
My neighbor has several security cameras in front, covering the parking lot, the sidewalk in front of the building, and the unit entry doors. We live in apartments. Our doors are clustered in the same area, so anything that can see his door can also see my door and our other neighbors’ doors.
I absolutely hate it. I can’t even throw the goddamn trash out without feeling watched.
I’ve been like that for many, many years.
Acceptable for the blind only
So transformative will it prove to the human brain, the twenty-something-year-old inventors promise, that wearers will soon be not just thinking, but “vibe thinking.”
End this. Go down to the Titanic, please.
One way trip.
That’s why I will wait until buying them.
“AI-powered”. That alone should turn everyone off
As someone whose taught a fair number of undergrad classes, my nightmare scenario is a student showing up to an exam wearing one of these fucking things. When I tell them to take the damn things off, they then might protest saying they have prescription lenses and that they’re the only way they can take the exam.
Can’t it just be in the requirement of the exam? If they have connected glasses, they have to remove them for the duration of the exam and use them only after leaving the room. If they are spotted with them, they get disqualified instantly?
Edit: IMHO the accessibility argument would not stand for a written exam as those glasses are often used to transcribe audio. If it’s written there is nothing to transcribe thus is not required. Those glasses are also more expensive than the non connected one so economically speaking if they can afford these glasses, they sure can afford the non connected ones. If they don’t have a pair of non connected glasses they have to plan ahead of the exam which typically happens weeks if not months after the beginning of the semester so it’s on them to plan accordingly.
TL;DR: forbid them in school ToS.
Record Everything Constantly
Which camera glasses have all-day battery life? 🤔
Invasion of the privacy snatchers.
So I know what to look for in the future for people to avoid, the glasses apparently look like this:
I’m going to refuse to talk to people unless they take them off and shut them down first.
I won’t even give them the option to take them off. If I see someone wearing them I had intended to interact with, I’ll keep on walking by and ignore the person.
And putting Ray Ban on the “never buy a fucking thing from” list.
You should go up the chain and put the parent company of the parent company and all the related properties there
That’s 99% of eyeglasses in the US and Canada

Not Costco tho!
Or most of the online only stores.
Ray Ban’s parent company is going to have AI glasses from all of the companies they own. I was boycotting Ray Ban up until I learned that it’s really fucking difficult to find prescription sunglasses big enough for my giant head that can accommodate my very strong prescription and Ray Ban had the only pair that I could find.
Also throwing out Zenni as an option. I’m on the verge of coke bottle sized lenses and can find many frames from them.
Have you tried Warby Parker? I’ve been using them for prescription sunglasses for years with decent success and I’m blind as a bar without lenses.
Thats the wayfarer model, you’ll never be able to tell, theyre too common
You’re missing the details:
Regular wayfarer on the left has the small oval (sometimes chrome) accent. AI wayfarer on the right as the round black camera lenses.
You’re going up close to every person you see with wayfarers to check the corner for a small oval? The details are too small to matter from a distance.That’s what I’m trying to say.
There will likely be other models or brands where you can’t even rely on the distinction you’re trying to make here.
It’s looking bleak.

No. If I’m walking up to someone intending to interact with them, that is close enough to see the lenses. Upon identifying those, I will elect instead to not interact with that person and keep on walking by.

I remember this Black Mirror episode! Dudes wife was banging someone else and he gets wicked drunk crashes his car and replays the memory over and over again for years. Good Times! 🫠
