      Police have been using this tech since at least the London Olympics in 2012 this is only going to increase. Facial recognition is still bad for non white faces though.

      Developers: “When will Apple give us access to the video on Apple Vision Pro?”

      Isn’t that’s what it’s for, finding information on whatever you’re looking at?

      Masks are back on the menu, boys. I actually wouldn’t mind wearing a fashionable mask permanently. I know it is forbidden in various places (and countries), but that is an effective way to counter this type of tech when it becomes an actual widespread issue.

      On the other hand there is also a question whether that is an actual problem at all or if the society just isn’t used to the idea of this level of hyperconnectivity. So you know the name and other public information about whoever you are looking at. How is that an actual problem? Do we have a right to anonymity and if so, then is the problem the tech that pieces together existing public information or is it the fact that such information exists in public in the first place? We can’t fight the idea of machine-reading and machine-recognition, it is as inevitable as sunset. Machines need this as a baseline for their autonomous functions which are transitioning from sci-fi to day-to-day life as we speak.

      I feel like we’re rapidly approaching a post-privacy future.

      The intended purpose is the dark side? Looking up a coworker who you don’t remember or someone from school was always in the tech demo, even when it was still a Black Mirror idea.

      The smart glasses are only the photo capture device. All of the backend processing is done by software written by the post authors on the phone.

      Sure it’s more discreet with the glasses, but a recording phone in your front shirt pocket can do the same

      Wait until people hear the yellow pages used to exist. We all survived

      The headline writer doesn’t know what “dox” is. Not even close.

      But anyway, preventing this is why everyone should disable tagging, or better yet, not use facebook at all.

      *1) Smart glasses + dumb human = ? (5pt)*

      *2) Smart glasses + smart human = ? (5pt)*

      I can’t wait to get these and take high resolution photos of people in public, then go home and masterbate furiously to them.

      Almost had this 10 years ago with Google Glass but people were worried about the above scenario.

      “The dark side of AR glasses” let’s see:
      – Not AR
      – Nothing that couldn’t be done by a phone you’re pretending to look at

      They don’t need to use smart glasses, you can add cameras to any regular glasses. This is tech that has been around for many years so it has already proliferated.

      What databases are they using?

      It can be hard to find an email when you have their LinkedIn profile.

      I know there are potential downsides to this technology, but I would love to be reminded of the names and context in which I know people, so this capability is very exciting to me. I’m not great with names and I have some low-grade anxiety when attending group events where I know I will see a bunch of people whose names I don’t remember. Having glasses that remind of this info would be awesome…sort of like Miranda Priestly had Andy Sachs in the Devil Wears Prada.

      Makes sense Elaine Chao, Mitch McConnell’s wife and former Transportation Secretary of the US, has a niece at Harvard.

      The rich are **very good** at generational wealth and maintaining it.

      Did no one here see Minority Report? This is going to be a thing, whether these glasses are around or not.
