I don't think we should normalize pointing cameras at people's faces all the time. I hate these things.

  Maybe they have some light to show if they're on. But is everyone supposed to just know that? Pointing a video camera at everyone you talk to is an... interesting social choice. Glasses like these should be designed with a physical mechanisms to cover the cameras.

  I agree. The white light these turn on when recording is not enough for the average person to realize recording is happening. I was visiting a museum yesterday and someone was using these to livestream/record their own (bad) tour. Security stopped someone doing this with their phone earlier, but had no idea what this guy was doing.

  I agree completely with this comment, but I just want to point out that this cat's been out of the bag for at least the past 10 years. There's camera's everywhere at this point: every doorbell/garage, every store, every light on the street, even my friend's pet/baby monitors when I visit. I hate it.

    it's not because everything sucks that we need to normalize making it worse

  Based on the comments above this sentiment is going away vs. in Oct 2023 when i start evangelizing them I heard and saw a lot more of I hate these privacy nightmare stuff.
