Smart glasses equipped with cameras, microphones, and AI are a creeping privacy and security nightmare, prompting backlash.

And rightfully so.

So the same thing smartphones are? It's easy to run install and run spy apps on them that record everything.

Everybody is getting so anxious about new technology these days. Smart glasses are pervert glasses, AI is completely bad and cannot have any possible good use, etc. Maybe the problem isn't with the technology, but with the companies and the corruption world wide.

It'd be easy with regulations to have LEDs to go along with recording functions to notify other users when they are, but it seems these technologies are being allowed to run rampant spying under the scummiest of companies who do want to record and obtain your private information. Nobody is putting up even the most basic roadblocks or bothering to be transparent about their software.

That's a lot of words to out yourself as a pervert...

And yet your answer is exactly the right amount of words for the expected reading comprehension of the one making it.

Some people fight for rights. Others like yourself just fight for vibes. Also bears some association to the amount of words they can usually deal with.
