    “You’re going to be famous on the Internet!”

    Lol, he’s right but not the way he thinks.

    In the meantime, eth8n claims to have “filed a claim with the police and it’s a misdemeanor charge.”

    “What she did was assault, can get arrested for it if I see her again and felt like it,” he wrote.

    This guy sounds like such an annoying little bitch.

        I suffer from prosopagnosia (face blindness), so facial recognition would be legitimately useful for me.

          Unfortunately it’s unlikely for this to be implemented in a privacy-respecting way. Arguably, even if it never “phones home”, it’s always going to be a more risky option—e.g. police can seize the glasses and see who you’ve seen, whereas they can’t seize your brain and see what faces you’ve seen. You might be fine with that risk, but will everyone you ever meet be fine with it?

                ok, this isn’t a private setting though. If she had attacked him for filming her in private i’d %1000 support her. I dont support ppl being violent because they feel like it.

                  We’re not talking about the OP. We’re talking about someone suggesting smart glasses as an accessibility tool for facial recognition.

          Cool, run a local tool. No harm in that.

          But ifyou snitch on my location yo Facebook at all times, I’m gonna break the glasses and whatever you put them on, no remorse.

          You do not get to surveil and put people at risk like that, your disability can get fucked if that’s your accommodatin.

            Reasonably speaking, you have no way of knowing if smart glasses are local or remote processing just by looking at them.

          Omg I have some kind of name-forgetfulness. Takes me fucking ages to learn a name. This would be so handy.

        People with the need for A/R overlays on their vision? I can see their use in very specific situations but IDK why you would constantly wear them.

          This tech for blind people could become fantastic, ai in general should be great for people with disabilities.

          Same for a lot of jobs. I’m colourblind and can’t be an electrician, but if I had AR labelling the wires in basically real time it would be a different story.

          Jackasses making weird noises on the subway and filming people ruin the potential of this stuff.

          This is not an accessibility tool, and you’d need to fuvk with it a lot to make it one, and it still sends everything to Facebook-respectfully: fuck you and fuck your disability if your accommodation is to be a corporate ur-snitch; I’ll kick your metaphorical crutches out from under you and laugh about it.

            Agree w the fuck you part but not with the anti-disability imagery. Anyone can become disabled, and ppl with actual disabilities have it hard enough without that.

              If your accommodation is to sell my soul to a megacorp that works with the death squads that are eventually going to come for me, I’m gonna kick your crutches out from under you and laugh at how you can’t get up in ways I wouldn’t dream of if someone who hadn’t chosen to violate my privacy and take what will in the near future be a risk with getting me put in a concentration camp, that person being hurt and suffering is funny in kind of a poetic way, where the same action on someone who hadn’t decided their disability entitled them to violate my consent would just be fucked up and concerning.

                  Nah, because its the disability being leveraged to harm me with a total lack of ethics or concern by a spectacular piece of shit. The disability becomes the aggression, or a shield for it, here.

                  And so hurting them on that axis becomes funny and good.

                    I am talking about people on actual crutches. Stop talking about kicking out crutches. That is cruel.
