alt Hacker NewsYeah I don't think I like the idea of someone wearing them and looking at me. They can just paint or tape over the privacy light.
There is a path forward though. If they can strip out pictures of people and PII by default from video feed and enforce explicit consent(digitally). People might be open to adopting it. I think only apple kind of has any where near that level of trust.
I think a biggest belief that tech people have in pilled circles at Meta and Google is that " this is amazing why would people not use it?" is dead.

Seriously, trust Meta to do anything privacy preserving? Besides that, they also record audio.
> strip out pictures of people and PII by default
You trust Meta to do this unfailingly, without making an exception for themselves which you will consent to somwhere in a 30 page user agreement or a dark pattern in the UI?
That goes against the very soul of their being as demonstrated by everything they've done to date.

I'll trust them when I can inspect their source code and chip schematics.
