I'd hard disagree. I use the Metas all the time and they're incredibly useful, especially to ask quick questions re:plants or what not and then taking impromptu photos of kids and pets etc that are camera shy.

> and then taking impromptu photos of kids and pets etc that are camera shy. This is the thing I hate about those. It normalises nonconsensual photography.

  They're my kids and pets. Problem is that they are not 'don't take my photos' but rather 'oh look what are you holding I am going to focus on that.'

    I understand. But for every one of you there's 5 glassholes thinking it's great fun secretly recording people in public places and posting it on tiktok. This is why everyone hated on google glass. Which had a much more noticeable camera than the ray-bans. I have one myself (the glass, I 3D printed a camera cover for it).

      I mean, I get it. But I don't think they do anything that "phone in hand discreetly tilted near chest/stomach" doesn't do. If anything this has a recording light, and I can use both my hands :P Essentially a miniature goPro strapped to my eyes. >recording people in public places Honestly at this point if I am in public I just assume someone (or something - cctv's everywhere) is recording me at all times.

  Personally people who dislike smart-glasses because of privacy i dont understand... you have no privacy in public and people could be taking pics of you and whoever with their phones. Do you go up to people who hold their phones up and who do whatever they maybe doing with their phones. Do you go up asking if they took a pic of you and ask to delete it?

So your use case is taking photos of people who don’t want their picture taken, or doing things that the phone I already own and have on me all the time can do. And unlike my smartphone that keeps the photos on-device, your Meta ray bans are submitting all your family members to be face scanned by the Meta surveillance capitalism app. https://www.theverge.com/2021/2/27/22304618/judge-approves-facebook-privacy-settlement-illinois-facial-recognition https://www.theverge.com/2021/2/27/22304618/judge-approves-f...

  >taking photos of people who don’t want their picture taken *My* kids and dogs. But ... >doing things that the phone I already own and have on me all the time can do. Remember what I said about dogs and my kids stopping what they're doing when a phone is out and focusing on the phone instead? It's not "Don't take my picture." It's "whats that in your hand ooooh gimme." >your Meta ray bans are submitting all your family members to be face scanned by the Meta surveillance capitalism app Unless you have a solid evidence of THAT (and not some random link), please do not make unsubstantiated claims. Anyhow, if you're really curious about how it works : Photos are stored on device and then imported via bluetooth/wifi connection manually or when they're charging. _NOTHING_ gets sent to Meta unless I specifically use the multi-modal Meta AI ("Hey Meta, look and tell me x"). All of this information is out there in several places (including Meta's own documents) as to how this works. It's not very hard to find - easier than making unsubstantiated claims. You should try to have a normal conversation instead of being argumentative. It tends to help people wanting to talk further. This isn't reddit. :)
