If it's from Meta in any way: No.

This is still surveillance, just with audio instead of video.

But this actually creates a new problem: wearers of pervert glasses have plausible deniability. “Are you filming me?” “Who, me? Oh no, these ones don’t have cameras. Trust me”.

No camera but it will six microphones.

It's not even the glasses alone, it's that it's one more major part of the ENTIRE surveillance state that is growing around us. It is being sold to us as this great new future, but we are all very aware of what they really intend to do with it, which is enslave us in every way possible.

They are denying it, of course, claiming that this will make our futures easier, and more fun, but we KNOW these people, and they are not interested in making our lives easier or more enjoyable. Just the opposite, in fact. They want us working every second of our miserable lives to increase their personal profits. To them, that's ALL we are good for.

To us, they have ALL the money and power. Let's take that from them before they use it to kill everyone who resists them, because we all KNOW that's what's coming.

My favourite part of this is that Zuck was so out of ideas that he tried to reinvent Google Glass at great expense and is running into exactly the same social brick wall that project did.

So.... Glasses?

Any stupid mofo wearing them Zuck specs, meet this kid:

Great! A product for people who may not be perverts but like sucking the cock of an evil corporation!

Went to get glasses and made a big point of avoiding Ray Bands for taking Facebook money to make pervert glasses. Hoping it's not the first time they've heard that.

I do actually like the classic nerd look of their glasses, but yeah, fuck that.

The camera-free glasses, code-named Luna, will still feature an array of six microphones to allow users to speak to the company’s AI chatbot and its recently-released AI assistant, called Muse. They’ll presumably pick up audio from users’ environments as well, where bystanders may not be aware of the eavesdropping.

People this fucking stupid shouldn't have this much wealth and power

So how about those state all-party-consent wiretap laws?

Why do you need glasses at all for a version with no camera? Can't someone just wear earbuds in that case? Can't someone's regular bluetooth (or even tethered) earbuds just talk to the phone in their pocket to do everything?

Great. Now I not only have to listen to other people in public talking on their phones but now talking to their glasses.

No no no no. You evil tech bros are supposed to be endlessly re-inventing trains. Did you even study in evil tech bro school, bro?

Lidar glasses incoming

I see audio scrambler projects blowing up in the near future.

I miss the time when sunglasses made you look cool. Fuck you, Zuckerberg.

How's it supposed to do Augmented Reality without a camera?

So... sunglasses?

Oh shit, people think we're creepy like flock. Let's do what flock is working towards and drop the camera and move towards EVERY OTHER FORM OF FUCKING TRACKING AND SELLING DATA.

How does this beat a glasses and earphone combo. You take the glasses off but still enjoy the use of the earphones that way.

"Oh, don't worry, these are actually the Meta Glasses Freedom©®™. They're actually pretty innovative! I can go off-grid while still feeling so connected to all my feeds! Instead of recording to the cloud, I can use my new Freedoms©®™ to record moments directly to my brain using the new Facebook BAM technology. Yup, these babies don't have a single semiconductor, but Zuck still managed to somehow run Brain Access Memory on them! The best part is how cheap they are! Nearly half the price, and you get a 10% discount on their AI subscription since these glasses don't actually transfer any data. But that subscription lets the Meta Glasses Freedom©®™ assist me with directly accessing memories whether the glasses were present or not! It's a pretty sweet deal, if you really think about it."

Zuckerfuck has no shame.
