Yeah, well.
It’s the functional equivalent of walking around recording video of everything on your phone.
Even if you’re not actually recording anything, if there’s no way for me to know that I’m just going to treat you like you are.
I doubt they’ll ever manage to convince enough people smart glasses are inevitable enough to get the concept fully off the ground, but worst case if they do, I see this ushering in an era of cyberpunk dazzle makeup to confound AI and facial recognition, so it’s not all bad really.

Dark spots, contour lines, anything to break up an accurate read of facial features.
Yeah smart, no way anyone can uniquely identify that guy.
That dude definitely is not boarding a plane
You know how people will get around the little light that shows they’re recording? A tiny piece of tape.
So at what point is the tech streamlined enough that anyone with glasses could be smart glasses? Is there going to be a general backlash against anyone with a physical deformity (needing glasses) because “you never know”?
I think a tool like this has applications for blind people
There’s nothing inherently wrong with miniaturized computers with transceivers either, but companies managed to design one from the ground up to obscure and restrict its full functionality and covertly betray user data - the smartphone. The designs that get pushed under capitalism are biased in this way, and all the more so in late capitalism.
