Why do people pretend like every product has to “solve a problem”? That’s complete rubbish.

Imagine walking down an aisle and simply looking at a product, not having to even pick it up, and it tells you that it contains something you’re allergic to or dislike. That’s the kind of thing that is possible at the absolutely lowest level of imagination required.

You said you saw no uses, not that there is no need.

So much the same as phones? Are phones “creep phones”?

There are multiple ways to prevent this, they just haven’t implemented any of them yet because the pushback hasn’t been loud enough, nor has anything been legislated.

People felt the same way about phone cameras at one stage. You might not be old enough to remember, or might not have even been born.

Phones in Japan had to be made so you couldn’t disable the shutter sound when taking a photo.

One thing I’ve really learned over the years is that a huge percentage of the population has virtually no ability to think ahead even a few years in terms of tech, let alone long term. I guarantee you that smart glasses are going to be as ubiquitous as smart phones and smart watches in a decade or 2. They are the natural evolution of the smartphone, or as an everyday wearable.

You must also be thinking of the older one which was crap. This is the current one which has clicky physical buttons that also can act as a gesture pad, and a mute button.

This was the garbage one before that:

The current remote has physical buttons that have a track pad over the surface of them. You can completely disable the track pad and gestures and just use it like a plain old remote if you want. The gestures-only remote was replaced years ago, thankfully.

This is the old one that I assume you’re talking about?

I’m not sure how much AI stuff you’ve used, but they can’t access anything you don’t give them permission to access. Like they literally ask you to confirm every single command they run. If you press the “have full access and don’t ask me any more questions” button then you’re accepting the risk that it can do whatever it likes.

Well the chances of a doctor wearing meta raybans is near 0%, so I guess this doesn’t happen and we can move on.

But the article is about using a GOOGLE TV stick……

It’s not about “owning your stack”.

Idiots using things incorrectly and getting bad results is not an AI created problem. When you get a dog, you are responsible for what it does. When you use AI, you are responsible for what it does.

If you don’t know how to use a chainsaw, don’t use one and then blame the manufacturer when you cut your leg off.

It’s not at all like that, because guns and knives are different and give different results. You can buy any number of “spycam” glasses online whenever you want.

Laws already exist around using them in private settings. They also exist around using them in public settings too - you have no expectation of privacy in public, because you’re in public. You can’t stop someone taking your photo while you’re walking down the street.

I’m assuming you think the watermarks are just some hidden characters or something that you can see or remove by pasting into notepad?
