Yeah, but Meta is the stalker that planted the bushes outside your house so they can have a place to hide while they're fapping as they're getting more data from you so they can... I mean, they don't know what they want to do with the data, but they have it. They also said they like the way you smell.

They now what to do with it. They sell it to gov
Anthropic (re-?)confirmed this.
And yet people with Google glasses were called the glassholes. What will we can people with Meta glasses?
Just drop the gl. Seems to get the point across.
How about Dad! I use them to film my toddler doing cute things without having to pull out the phone constantly and being more present. It'd be nice if people didn't call me names for doing so :)
Buy a proper camera. Your memories will be a lot higher quality and you'll go from creepy guy uploading toddler footage for Zuck to watch to someone who loves their kid enough to run a real camera.
This is screaming and downvoting into a void.

Parents have enough to carry around just because you don’t like a feature that is default off unless you ask for cloud analysis.

I don’t care what happens to Zuck, cancel him to all hell for all I care but maybe be a little more curious about why people use the tech they do past “people are stupid”.

I'm a parent of two, one of whom is a baby. I rock a Sony zv-e10ii.

Image quality is real. That glasses camera is teeny tiny. At the most basic layer, it's going to look like a bad camera from decades ago by the time your kids are old enough to want to see those photos.

Meta sells that device to generate data and profit from "services". Zuck said so directly in an earnings call: https://finance.yahoo.com/news/zuckerberg-explained-ai-glass...

You are the frog being boiled. Your glasses are the pot.

Fine in the crib, out in the open at a critical moment when your kid runs into your arms, screw image quality, you want that moment captured and with active kids there's about 2-3 of these moments every day. "the best camera is the one you have with you".

If I don't like something about my hot frog pot, I'll just switch to the Apple glasses when they come out [1] ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ . Zuck doesn't have much room to maneuver without shooting himself in the foot.

My larger point stands, not all who wear cameras deserve to be maligned.
