Smart glasses equipped with cameras, microphones, and AI are a creeping privacy and security nightmare, prompting backlash.

And rightfully so.

Eh. It's already pretty easy to conceal a microphone. Harder to conceal a camera.

Actually something I worry about ….. my glasses have tiny embedded magnets for “click-on” sunglasses. Maybe they could be mistaken for tiny cameras on pervert glasses

It's actually pretty easy to conceal. there's plenty of investigative reporting with hidden cameras and nobody's none the wiser. The fact that they have to add a light to the glasses proves that even if you hide it in plain sight, people will still miss it.
