If it helps, they don’t have the battery life to be constantly recording or sending that much traffic. And that stuff can’t be invisible, us nerds can see it all. That’s one of the things dystopian sci-fi dramas have to gloss over, it all still runs on the properties of physics, sending a wireless message, even if the contents themselves are encrypted, we can still figure out where it is going and how much data it is by reading the wave. No way to block that from being possible.
Comment on Report: Apple CEO “cares about nothing else” Than Building Breakout AR Glasses Before Meta

I think for the most part society has gotten used to being on someone’s camera when in public at pretty much all times.
It’s something I used to think about, now I just, don’t.
Everyone has been looking for the next big hardware thing. It looked like it might be foldable phones for a little while but I reckon AR Glasses are the ultimate endgame until they start making bio implants.

They’ve gotten used to it in different political circumstances. But as people start to see how an authoritarian and vindictive fascist government works with surveillance tech to invade and endanger people’s lives, attitudes to things like always-on cameras may start to shift.

I agree. But unfortunately, nobody gives a flying fuck.
