    I’ve already had a run-in with a glasshole. A service guy that came to work on something and I didn’t realize they were smart glasses for over an hour, when his phone started talking and he said, “Sorry, that’s my glasses talking to me”. I said, “Are you wearing smart glasses?” and he said, “Don’t worry, I wasn’t recording or anything.” Fucking glasshole. I really hope people give them a lot shit and make them feel unsafe to wear them in public, like last time. I’ll be a lot more observant from now on and it pisses me off that I should have to be.

        Trust is the issue. These corpos are know torecord and collect the video without their user consent. So how can you prove that your not recording, because everybody see a pattern that these corpo will record and use all the inputs for glasses with or without the user consent.

          I’m not, and I hate that people don’t even realise nor case their phones are constantly voice recording everything including me.

          I just didn’t think of this with those glasses.

            It will lead to a society where anyone can be secretly filmed and shamed on social media. I think its horrible.
