So it’s not anti-pervert then. It’s just non-pervert.
Anti-pervert would be something like sunglasses that zap the pervert sunglasses’ cameras with lasers and damage the sensor. Maybe they don’t have to be so accurate.
Maybe a sort of anti pervert mesh network where gamma radiation is fired in the direction of whoever wears pervert glasses and eventually kills them with cancer.
It’s incredibly irresponsible and would have unintended consequences for otherwise innocent people but it would technically work so capitalism says ship it before China does!
I wish DDG defaulted to their no ai search.
If they want to make silly little jokes about “the other guys and their ai” then maybe don’t use ai shit as your default search option on your own platform?
$39 is probably still a huge markup.
They’re barely making back the research costs of producing sunglasses without a lithium-polymer battery or a 12 megapixel CMOS camera.
THE ABOVE COMMENT IS SARCASM.there’s no extra markup involved here for what is essentially a marketing thing.
they’re $35. which is also the price the ‘normal’ (not ‘collab’ edition) ones sell for direct on ka’s web site or at retailers like rei.
Meanwhile, I recently got new prescription glasses (after wearing my previous pairs for way too long, BTW) and got some that have an IR-blocking coating that’s supposed to block face recognition cameras. Because that apparently needs to be a thing these days.
(I’m disappointed that these DuckDuckGo glasses don’t have a similar special coating. I like the company I got mine from, but I’d like to see more companies offering privacy-enhancing tech.)
Is this now not not not the onion?
“2. Only tech related news or articles.”
While the headline doesn’t discuss it, the article begins with “Meta has opened Pandora’s box with its AI-infused smart sunglasses. The pricy accessory has sparked a heated debate over privacy, with unsavory individuals abusing the eyewear’s easily-missed cameras to harass unsuspecting strangers in public — garnering the specs the distinctly unflattering nickname of “pervert glasses.””
“Zero AI, Cameras, or Even Electronics Whatsoever”. but i conceded that manufacturing a lens and a frame qualifies as technology as far as i’m concerned
You have the reading comprehension of a toddler. The article is not about a pair of glasses, it’s about a tech company’s response to AI and surveillance, and how another company is irresponsibly using those things.
you actually look like a toddler
K.
lol
Sold out and I can’t seem to pre-order a pair for their next batch (maybe the next allotment is already sold out).
Oh well, my wallet wins this round.
Ironically actual meta
Unperverted Glasses
We have Ray-Ban glasses.
Yeah, I love my ray-bans but I don’t think I’ll be buying another pair as long as they are making pervert glasses. I feel kinda gross wearing them, afraid people will think they are the pervert kind… kinda like wearing a red hat
