The code WIRED identified is gone from the latest version of Meta AI, the companion app for the company’s smart glasses. Meta won’t say why or whether it’s coming back.

Erosion of public opinion has always been the plan. I did a double take recently when I found out that back in 2017, Mozilla adding telemetry was something that people actually were offended by. Unfortunately, people stopped being offended by it, and nobody noticed that the telemetry experts were from the Facebook company, and soon that innocent data collection turned into an ad network.
We need to go back to treating these people the same way Google Glass users were treated back in the 2010s. They were Glassholes then. They’re surveillance freaks today. They should be shunned by society. The nicest thing you should do to somebody wearing these surveillance glasses is to politely tell them that you are uncomfortable around their weird behavior.
I’m curious as to how people were actually using Google Glass in 2013. The only place I saw one then was at a programming meetup. I’m quite sure people weren’t regularly running the camera continuously because that drains the battery in a hurry and overheats it even faster.
Source: I bought a new old stock Glass XE-C this year. They’re $50 on Ebay. I’m working on a navigation app for it because I want heads-up cycling directions.
Break their shit and tell them to go fuck themselves sounds about what we should be doing. Make it so not okay that others like them get scared.
