Emerging research from University of Sydney draws on analysis of 350 publicly available Instagram videos from around the world, showing a shift to discreet, point-of-view recording that is difficult for bystanders to detect. Smart glasses often provide no clear signal that recording is taking place, limiting a woman’s ability to consent or opt out.
I had an opportunity to converse with one of the people whose work resulted in those body scanners they use in the airport. He brought this up casually as a kind of boast, like he genuinely believed the product of his work was amazing and essential. He thought I was being an asshole for being unimpressed and that being unimpressed was a personal slight. He had no concept of the down sides of such technology, or the actualized potential for abuse, or the reality that the amount of abuse vastly outnumbers the successful intended uses.
Maybe that kind of work takes a certain mindset, like how it’s easier to get rich as a sociopath?
Minor downside to future ar glasses, pros outweigh the cons, only part of technology that still makes me excited for the future so yeah irdgaf that some ppl abuse recording when they can wear hidden cams and do the same sht
So scientists are going around being perverts for fhe scientific cause. Jokes aside, who wouldn’t have thought about this during product development?
Give the nerds a break, prev glasses is all they’ve got.
