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

And rightfully so.

You kinda proved my point. Instead of addressing the argument, you went straight to insults. Thats usually what people do when they don't have a counterargument. America has a real crisis of trust.

Confidence in institutions, the media, corporations, government, and even each other has dropped for years. In a low trust society, people create records to protect themselves. Recording glasses aren't about wanting a surveillance state. They're about having an objective record when accusations fly or context gets lost.

If people acted with a little more maturity online, these would be a lot less neccessary. They're basically the wearable version of a dashcam.
