Seriously you’d have to be an absolute idiot who somehow got their hands on too much money to think these were a good idea to purchase. The concept is great, but wearing Facebook on your face is bonkers.

I’m not a fan of the concept at all. I’m not comfortable going out in public and having someone fillm me with their phone camera, so I’m extra uncomfortable with people walking around with cameras affixed to their faces. 

Yeah that side of it is a significant issue, I guess I meant the concept of augmented reality glasses that can run an overlay on the world is great. But you’re right, it doesn’t work without some kind of camera to work out where to orient the overlay and that camera needs to be pretty constant. The issue of recording everyone everywhere aside (and that’s big thing to put aside) there are other significant issues like relying on a product supplier to not cover everything in ads or not harvest the video feeds and sell them or use them to train other products. Even if they say they’ll never do those things .. the next CEO might not give a damn aboutthat commitment.


It’s only going to keep getting worse until it somehow blows up in some way huge enough to get the vast majority of morons to actually care enough to fight it. I unfortunately have little hope for that happening in my lifetime.




Display on my glasses? That would be neat. Camera and microphone on my glasses? Why the fuck would I want that.

It’s a devil’s bargain. Except that the benefit is pretty slim next to the obvious cost.


Wearing these glasses in public should be a punchable offense.


If I see someone wearing these I’m going to feign bumping them off their face in hopes they break

There’s an app to help detect nearby glassholes:

I never understood these…thanks for sharing. Not sure I want zuckerburg following me around…feels weird already to know people like him exists.



Comments from other communities

lol what kind of weird nerd is wearing smart glasses while having sex lmao

imagine you’re over at some dudes house, about to get dicked down, and he comes out with nothing but these big fat blinking glasses on

I assume it’s people making (hopefully consensual) POV videos.

I know why they’re doing it. I just think it’s something only a doofus would do.

Or someone making OF content for example.



You think only a doofus would make POV sextape with their partner?

with these, absolutely


Only a doofus would buy these glasses.


I think only a doofus would spend money on smart glasses from facebook




Yea, it sounds more confortable than wearing just a camera tied to yourself. POV porn is popular afaik


I feel like people using these glasses, instead of a good camera setup WHICH CAN COST LESS, which look more incognito, are likely not doing it consensually…

It doesn’t even need to be fancy or expensive




Believe it or not but not all sex starts with walking into the bahtroom, closing the door, disrobing, and hopping under the covers.

And while it likely applies less to the folk with camera glasses: If your vision is poor enough, it is always a tradeoff between them getting in the way and constantly squinting at your partner.

Why do you have blankets in your bathroom

No it’s the “Baht Room”. Like you’ve been Baht. You need to be punished. *wtsh *wtsh

Exactly. This obviously wasn’t a brain fart + typo.

The kink shaming of some people.


Thai me up daddy.

Let me gobble you up like a Türkiye





omg can I just make fun of techbros wearing Facebook smart glasses without everyone doing an 18-point analysis on it?

I feel your pain. Welcome to Lemmy.




I hate making out wearing glasses. That said, it is a porn category 🤷‍♂️

Glasses are like lingerie: They’re not for during, but before



According to recent events, some fucked up people are willing to be filmed like this. Here’s link to the video if anyone is interested.


Really? I think it’s way more natural than wearing a go pro.

Bedroom is a very reasonable realm for smart glasses if they aren’t connected to the internet and are used for local recording.

The really weird part is wearing them in public and either recording people without their consent or even giving the clear impression of recording people without their consent. Wearing smart glasses in a public place is just an asshole move.



Why um, why do “smart” glasses have moderators? 🤔 Am I too far ’offline’ to be asking? 😬

Am I too far ’offline’ to be asking?

This is surveillance phobic… and I’m down for it

It may be time to train some llms to be anti llms… 🤔



AI training. They have the tag the videos for model consumption.

Egads! AI - the new asbestos. They’re putting it in everything! B🤦


So, hypothetical, if I bought these, put a spare laptop in a closed, filled with the worst shock movies from the internet, and set these glasses so that they continuesly watch these videos. Would that be against the EULA?

You’d just be ruining a minimum wage worker’s day and possibly traumatizing them. They typically outsource content annotation/moderation so no one important at Meta would be affected.

The better course of action is to continue to ridicule anyone you meet wearing these poorly-disguised surveillance instruments and raise awareness among your peers.


you’re punishing those poor guys that are doing the job for $10/month. zucc doesn’t care at all as they are already giving ptsd to thousands of moderators tasked of watching the reported gore videos





Reading this headline all I can think is “Are y’all really surprised?”


I know that bandwidth isn’t hardly the finite resource that it used to be, but I still can’t get over how amazingly wasteful it is to continuously stream live video halfway around the world just so you can… ask your glasses to describe what’s in front of you?

It must be incredibly useful for blind people, but for everyone else it’s a pure wank.



I mean… If you can’t trust underpaid workers in Kenya’s sense of privacy, who can you trust?


Nice to know that when you’re standing at the urinal, some schmuck at Meta has seen your hog.


I don’t think I could get off if my partner was wearing these hideous things.

Or anyone else in the room for that matter.

I always make sure to tell my audience to remove any smart glasses. It’s just creepy doing it in front of them otherwise.


I won’t have sex unless my partner is holding one of these



Some idiots be sharing nsfw stuff when asked to upload stuff for the ai companies, they have hella warnings telling you that isnt the kind of content they want lol


Sex while a corporation has access to your footage sounds like a kink for libertarians




Any camera/audio device with a wireless connection in your home is recording and storing your intimate moments.


Finally, a way to indulge in exhibitionism without having to leave the house!


I would let them do this for $40
