it’s a shame that people with visual impairments are losing out on valuable systems but the perverts have already shown how easy the indicator light is to overcome. creeps ruin shit for everyone.
Not that showing an indicator light would be enough, anyway. I don’t want to have an explicit conversation with every Tom, Dick and Harry about whether they’re allowed to stream me to Meta, and I don’t have the means to sue them if they ignore my stated nonconsent or hide the filming in some other way.
And it really is a shame, smartglasses would be amazing opportunities for all kinds of legit applications if it wasn’t for the complete lack of ethics of the involved companies and many governments.
Why give them the benefit of the doubt. Surveillance is exactly what they’re being made for.
They hide behind the benevolent uses of technology and its disgusting how they go about it. I’ve been saying it before, tech is a modern religion. It’s been co-opted by those who use it as cover to do evil. They act as the gatekeeper as if the only way to tech utopia is through them.
Think of the poor disabled children! You wouldn’t want to deny them the gift of sight would you??? Now wear the glasses and record everything and look at the ads. Or would you rather deprive poor blind little Billy over there.
That shit is played. Trillion dollar tech companies don’t need anymore quarterly growth to do things like build assistive technologies. The world could have had this technology in particular years ago with no frills. Or any other type of technological aid.
Zuck just needs another yacht or two. That’s what this is really about. Hiding behind the disabled like ghouls that they are. No different than those evangelical megachurch assholes who own private planes.
. Hiding behind the disabled like ghouls that they are.
entirely agree, but watch - there’s gonna be blind people giving testimonials to congress about how they can’t live without the tech, orchestrated by the creeps who want to keep making the creep glasses. they’ll beat the public over the head with ‘why do you want to take this great tool away from the blind’ - WATCH.
When in fact they’re the ones ruining the tech for everyone, especially the disabled.
Do it. These things are just a tiny step away from face-scanning surveillance - https://www.wired.com/story/meta-smart-glasses-face-recognition-nametag-connections/
