All I’m saying is last time this tech trend came around, enough people who had a problem with it took drastic actions that directly affected the popularity of wearing a spycam on your face.
Wouldn’t surprise or upset me if history repeated itself.
Its not. I wish we lived in a world where we could be trusted with things like this, but we dont.
I really want a camera on my face and a HUD so I can live life more like a video game with screenshots, but we as a species have shown time and time again that we can’t behave.
Look, taking such glasses into a locker room is a problem. But someone wearing them in public is not. Anyone punching someone who does that should be taken to jail, simple as that.
I’d say there are some valid use cases. Like sports? Biking, skiing, anywhere you might use a GoPro. This might work for sports where it is impractical to wear a GoPro.
Also if they did this right, if it had a decent hud and zoom, this could be really helpful for the visually impaired or for other disabilities or medical conditions. That’s where these would be really helpful to society. But they never focus on that kind of shit. Instead it’s tech bros who want to sell this as a gimmick people can record themselves fucking, or stupid shit in the bar for their TikTok.
Amid a second Trump presidency that is going very poorly is truly a wild time to start crowing about a person’s rightful freedom to be dumb on purpose.
If you think something is wrong then, unless that risk places you at actual risk of harm, you can have that conversation - in public forums, at the ballot box, with your political representatives. If, rather, you want to dictate what you think is right on everyone, with threat of violence then that is something else.
The Gestapo, known for using violence to suppress the activities of those they don’t like without allowing the public to come to a democratic decision on the matter? Interesting.
But violence isn’t the answer. And certainly not to people doing legal stuff in public. Wearing a Google Glass in private is different though.

Wouldn’t surprise me either. But it’s a hugely illogical reaction.

Id rather nobody have one.

What about if we jail the people who wear spycams in public first? Then there won’t be any violence.
And would you make an exception for journalistic purposes? Serious question.

But how do you draw the line between good and bad use cases? Even trying to draw that line brings you on a fast lane to totalitarianism.
You can license journalists, same way we do automobile drivers.
Humans are illogical in most cases. It’s something you have to put up with when living in a society.
How is it illogical if it worked? It might be immoral, but there’s a clear through-line of cause and effect.
It’s illogical because you’re being recorded for far more nefarious purposes anyways.
It’s never illogical to want less of a bad thing.
We don’t like those methods either. And?
There’s fists to go around, guy
You can make the claim that it’s immoral or something, but you cannot claim it’s illogical.
Just because its legal doesn’t mean its right
See, what’s “right” is a (shared) opinion. One of the consequences of living in a free country is that other people can have their own opinions.

The smartest thing you did today was delete that comment. What happened, did you have an epiphany?
I realized arguing with a dipshit like you was beneath me
No that’s not what happened. You realised justifying physical violence with your personal feelings and beliefs isn’t right.

Have fun beating up journalists! I’m glad you aren’t a politician.

Surveillance is a form of violence that those wearing the glasses are imposing on us.
You need to look up “violence” in the dictionary.
If you wear this, you’re an agent of the gestapo.

No, you’re like one of the folks ratting out their neighbors to the gestapo.
He won’t even know he’s doing it. Why would anyone assume wearers have any control on these smartglasses and what they upload?
No I know what you were saying.
When the law abandons the people, the law of the jungle returns.
One of those people
?
A loser
Are you calling me a loser? If so, would you care explaining why you consider me a loser?
Violence is SO often the answer.
