After developing a facial-recognition app for Meta’s Ray-Ban glasses and doxing random people, two former Harvard students are now launching a startup that makes smart glasses with an always-on microphone.
Google Glass purposefully made it obvious what they were. The newer glasses without cameras from Meta et al basically look like regular glasses if you can’t see the waveguide in the lenses.
Wasnt there someone who hacked their google glasses and was getting everyone’s home addresses around him on facial recognition? I would think the risk would be fairly high to people who work with the public from these folks
There’s a big social stigma against this. Every other version of this that has come out has failed due to the combination of expense and stigma. I suspect this is nothing to worry about.
Very few people are going to pay hundreds of dollars to be socially isolated. Kill the market, kill the device.
“The AI listens to every conversation you have and uses that knowledge to tell you what to say … kinda like IRL Cluely,” Ardayfio told TechCrunch, referring to the startup that claims to help users “cheat” on everything from job interviews to school exams.
“If somebody says a complex word or asks you a question, like, ‘What’s 37 to the third power?’ or something like that, then it’ll pop up on the glasses,” Ardayfio added.
The product sounds like just another shitty AI assistant but on your face. The problem might fix itself when only 5 idiots buy them.
Is there anything whatsoever a privacy-minded person can do about something like this, in terms of personal protection?

That would be nice, but outside of major cities, I can’t see that happening.
I may just have to start wearing a hoodie and mask everywhere. I really, really don’t like the idea of these glasses.

Depends on whether you live in the US or EU I guess.
Wait 'til they come out (if ever), figure out the tech, make/buy a detector, pull your club out ur backpack …
Look into microphone jammers

Maybe those hoodies that fuck with camera sensors so they can’t take photos of your face?
Yes an infrared hoodie at night to prevent cameras in night mode to catch your face or something like this to fuck with AI detection
Let’s fight ai with ai! As in, opencv-driven turrets :)
