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

And rightfully so.

I have to agree. I have spent nearly 39 years on this earth and I've never had problems with outrage and/or targeted character assassination. That sounds like a problem for cunts.

It can still happen through bad actors... I have a friend who was dumped by someone a few years ago, but to make themselves fell better they spread false rumors about my friend.

However, spy/pervert glasses wouldn't have been usefull. You can't prove you didn't do something with recording...

Yeah perv glasses ain't gonna do jack shit for most types of character assassinations, maybe it could help with a scuffle or something but I find that the best thing to do in that situation is to come across as bored and vaguely irritated while giving your side to the cops in the aftermath. Seriously cops love it when you give dry but pissy explanations since it's easy to write down.
