    I thought smart glasses could be kind of neat, but no way in hell would I get a pair from Meta.

      I wish I can look back at my entire day and see what I did. (It will mostly just be computer, kitchen and bathroom only, but still a cool idea)

      I changed my mind

        I usually use my memory when I want to look back on my entire day and know what I did.

      I think some don’t think of the ramifications. Some willingly let Google follow them around and save their location

    contracted workers at a Kenya-based company called Sama. These workers are data annotators who are tasked with reviewing footage captured from the camera on the glasses and labeling it to help AI systems get better at identifying what they see

    Sama is the same company that classified outputs and training material for openai.

    An ant doesn’t care that you’re watching it until you try to step on it. Why do you think that these bug people would care until it’s too late?

    Without the Meta layer (which you can just not install), the basic smart RayBans are actually pretty nice. The audio is pretty good and it works with any other assistant you may have configured. I wish they had a version without the camera.
