When Google glass first premiered, I would, every once in a while, see someone wearing them in public and almost as often see them get punched in the face by some random passerby.
This is one of the very many reasons why I wish I was still living in New York City. I wanna see people wearing these pervert glasses get punched in the face once again.
Arrogant, entitled assholes are not going to learn that their arrogance and entitlement is unwelcome until they get their faces bashed in about it. Repeatedly. That’s why Google glass failed: Google realized that nobody wanted to see anyone wearing their shitty shitty pervert devices spying on everyone constantly. It wasn’t that they didn’t work. It’s that wearing their devices made their users a magnet for physical violence. Meta believes that they are immune to this consequence, and the public at large needs to remind them that THEY ARE NOT.
EDIT: I am not advocating violence, I am just serving a public reminder that acting like a disgusting pervert in public has consequences, and very well deserved consequences at that.
Listen, if something didn’t happen within 5 feet of me, then it didn’t happen.
I have decreed that all evidence otherwise must be brought to me for presentation, and you’ll also have to understand it for me, and after all that, I’ll have AI tell you that you’re wrong.
At the time they were pretty useless though. Moreso than Meta’s ones. Some hipsters from Silicon Valley bought it following the fad but then found they can’t do anything with it.

r/thathappened
There were actually a bunch of news articles about this happening a lot at the time. Google it.
You live in a world. Stuff happens.
People don’t believe you because they are not the main character like you are, how could they ever understand?
Ok?
What is this comment? He didn’t even say he did it. Just saw articles about it. Grow up.
He didn’t say he did what? Your response doesn’t make any sense I think you’re lost.
There seems to have been one incident reported in San Francisco

Good for you

What evidence?
The difference is today 1a auditors will wear them to deliberately provoke that reaction because it will generate clicks.
Man… Yesterday, I had never heard of “1A auditor”.
That was a good day.
The line between ‘1A auditor’ and ‘asshole’ was blurry enough already…
