This is like having a spy on the street 24/7, but instead of cameras above like in London, cameras everywhere sending data from all the world to the USA for being analyzed and recorded forever.
For me this is dystopia. You can't get out of your house without being recorded all the time, just like in China.
- michaelmrose 6y agoThis is a really dark interpretation and I think doesn't fully consider the facts on the ground. Such cameras are liable to capture minutes per day of footage from a tiny minority of individuals conspicuously holding up their phones and talking to an agent. Statistically probably zero minutes of your life will be captured by parties using this annually while you are constantly captured on security cameras everywhere you go in public. Your concern is approximately like a gut shot individual worrying if they might or might not get a splinter.
- elil17 6y agoA dystopia where blind people (>4% of the population if you include all major visual impairments) occasionally livestream (but don't store) video in public places? There's plenty of dystopian things about our world but this is about 1000x less invasive than CCTV cameras.
- wizzwizz4 6y agoOkay – but imagine if the hardware's trusted. I think it's a good idea, if the glasses aren't controlled by a surveillance capitalism company.

- mkr-hn 6y agoWe already have ubiquitous surveillance capitalism. Allowing a little more of it so more people can be part of fighting it is good.
- mgamache 6y agoGlass always ran a custom version of Android. So like any phone, the camera could be run by good or bad actors. But, without hardware modification the 'recording' light would always light up to make those around aware that the camera is working. And yes, the term "Glassholes" was used for 24/7 streamers.
