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?

Recording in public isn't the issue, there is no expectation of privacy.
Starting shit for reactions and sneaking pics like upskirts or of kids is where people are going to get upset and fuck you up.
Adderbox76@lemmy.ca · 5 pts · 248d
Actually there is an expectation of privacy.
The argument that "if you're in public and are filmed" it's not an invasion of your privacy specifically relates to things that are considered "legitimate public insterest",. If you're tangentially caught on a news-report about a house fire, or an event, or something like that, for example. Of if you're in the background on a cop's dash cam during a traffic stop, etc...
Beyond that, no one can use your image without your consent. There's a reason that members of the press need credentials and will usually walk around in a jacket that says PRESS on it; so that people know that they are in a place where they are likely to be recorded and can move away from it.
There's a reason that, if a movie is shooting a scene and they catch a few background people, they have to send a poor production assistant running around with release forms so that those people can give their permission...other wise the film can't use the footage.
Some incel recording a woman for his own personal spank-bank doesn't fall into either of those categories. And anyone who is trying to claim that they're all the same thing is a fucking creep.
thermal_shock@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 248d
That's for commercial use. There are thousands upon thousands of cameras all over, there is nothing illegal recording you in public. Look at Teslas, cameras on all sides, I've got a dash cam front and rear. Nothing you can do about it in america, it's protected by the first amendment in public.
On private property it's a different story, but you cant trespass someone's eyes, if they can see it, they can record it. Think of how many ring door cameras capture people daily.
Lmao. Press credentials are for specific events, almost always on private property. It's just a badge to people know what/who you are. In public any joe can record.
mikesizachrist@lemmy.world · 0 pts · 248d
NO, you can only film if you've printed out or written on a piece of paper "PRESS". This makes you super duper legit and only then are you granted 1st amendment rights. If you don't have a printer or at least paper and pen, then you're shit out of luck!
This is because people need to be able to hide from cameras - this is also why it is ILLEGAL to film someone if they don't know about it. Why do you think there's bouncers at every business who make you sign a release form to enter any building? Why do you think people are forced to blur out bystanders when they take pictures at Disney? Why do you think that its ILLEGAL to film celebrities on the street? Check. Mate.

Adderbox76@lemmy.ca · 31 pts · 248d
In the places where tech like this would be helpful, there's no reason that "recording" needs to be a part of it.
Colorblind person needs help identifying colors...great. Doesn't mean the video needs to be stored. Face-blind people need help recognizing faces, it can access a local database. If the entire point of AI is to do real-time computing, there's no reason for any image/video to be permanently stored anywhere.
Frankly, make the fucking things illegal in public, and allowed only in private settings where recording a member of the public won't be a concern. They're useful for doctors who are performing an operation and interacting with another doctor via the internet at the same time. They're useful for things like that. But there is ZERO reason you need to be recording strangers in public without authorization.
But failing that, at least scrap the ability to record to a server. Shit's just creepy. It was creepy when Google tried it. It's even more creepy when it's from a company that is open about using AI to create "personalized" ads using the images of people in it's servers.

Sure the guy wears the glasses gets some utility out of the glasses otherwise he wouldn't have one. The evidence collected can be resold back to the user, but ultimately it's the user that finds value in them. The corporation is unlikely to find utility out of the footage which they cannot use without violating copyright laws.
I'm not arguing that these glasses do not contain spy tech, the issue with arguing that is, so does smartphones.
theparadox@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 248d
I'm not at all a fan of being recorded in public but all of your examples...
These are situations in which the camera in the glasses is technically being accessed, which in software means something is analyzing the feed from the camera. If it is generating any output anywhere, even just visually for the user, it is recording in my mind. It may not be storing video, but it might face match and store a list of every recognized face it saw on the subway. There is no way for the OS to reasonably know what the feed is being used for unless it has exclusive control over the camera feed... and I sure as fuck aren't going to trust the smart glasses manufacturer to be honest about what it is doing with the camera feed...
So basically, if the camera is in use at all, an indicator light should be on.
Adderbox76@lemmy.ca · 4 pts · 248d
You're correct. I should have worded it better. I meant "Stored" rather than recorded. Much like streaming a video has a temp file in your hard-drive while you're watching the stream, but which ceases to exist after a certain amount of time to prevent you from pirating the content by saving a copy.
Glasses should operate much the same way (if at all...as I said...I'd still prefer the not at all option.)
jj4211@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 247d
Think the issue is, practically speaking, we don't have a good track record of modeling precisely where the camera feed goes to decide if it is stored or not. Mobile OSes do present a more sophisticated permission structure that gets closer, but things are still too flexible to really comfortably assure that nothing that was a party to the feed didn't somehow store it.
jj4211@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 247d
Assuming the system ecosystem is locked down, one could conceivably indicate only for retained camera data. App has camera permission but no internet and no storage premission, ok.
Of course, realistically speaking they kind of tried that with camera modules having their indicators OS controlled, and the practical reality is that malicious use could independently operate the camera from the LED and so the lesson learned was to keep it simple and have the LED control inexorably linked to camera activation at the module level without any sophisticated OS control possible.

We don’t actually know that she didn’t, unless you’ve got another article with more detail. This article is sparse in details, but it’s only his word in it that she didn’t talk to him. That nobody was bothered by it. That it went from 0-100 in the span of a look.
And idk about you, but that doesn’t sound all that likely to me, when everyone laughs at him for the consequences (seen in video). The whole thing screams this guy is an unreliable narrator. The whole thing to me reads like he knew he was pissing people off, like a YouTube prank channel sort of bother, and expected to walk away from it consequence free.
This article has a bit more detail and it does make him sound like a shitty prank channel sort that relies on annoying other people going about their lives. But again has no info about the encounter except his own words.

Here's different optics to consider: we know for many camera-enabled devices to deliver recordings to the cloud, where the data is used by authorities, often times in a very improper way.
In US, it is coordinating ICE raids; in other countries, it's other kinds of shady and inhumane acts.
Fighting this on the level of legislation is great...when it works. Overturning the power of a dictator authority or simply struggling against decisions that are made up above often takes illegal, brutal acts, or at least ones of misdemeanor.
It sure never hurts to ask someone to stop first, but then I can see an angle when refusal is going to escalate things badly for reasons that could be understood.

RustyShackleford@programming.dev · 7 pts · 249d
Fuck internet points.
When in public, you can be recorded. Your permission isn't required. Public spaces belong to all. People have the right to film, take photos, and record audio. If you don't want that, campaign for legislation to change it. "Rudeness" isn't a legal term. If you can't tolerate being recorded in a public space, even "rudely", leave. Go somewhere else. If you assault someone recording you in public, you will potentially get the shit kicked out of you by that person, bystanders, and/or cops.
The state, in a legalistic framework, has a near-monopoly on justified escalation to physical violence. The person recording you has to be assaulting you first or disturbing the peace to a degree that it endangers you or other people's safety in order for your violence to be justified as defense.
You can't start a fight legally, but you can finish one. "Rudeness" isn't a good enough reason to start swinging.
So again, control yourself.
SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca · 1 pts · 248d
So, we are now supposed to just let creeps video record women because they paid for fancy glasses? Anyone notice this was a young, attractive woman?
RustyShackleford@programming.dev · 1 pts · 248d
TLDR: The law and it's philosophical/moral foundation and practical application doesn't run on what you think, and society is better for it.
Once again, the law says you aren't protected from being recorded in a public space, attractive or not. There's a plethora of ways to legally record people overtly and covertly in public. The law also says you can't grab other people's stuff and destroy it to prevent being recorded.
If the guy was assaulting her or disturbing the peace, she'd be justified in using violence to defend herself. She also had the option to talk to a cop and accuse this guy of harassment, which he was doing and others may have recorded evidence of that. But one is not morally or legally justified in starting fights, only finishing them as self-defense. The amount of force legally acceptable falls under the umbrella of the concept of "reasonable application of force" within what's commonly known as a "force escalation continuum".
So, no "creeps" shouldn't be allowed to record women as that would constitute harassment, but it's better to go through proper legal channels than pretend to be a tough-guy/girl and start an altercation that may have permanent consequences.

They'd just mentally be incapable. cuz that doesn't fit into pattern of reactions from a rage addict.
Up to now have been strongly defending the guy. But fuck it this is a game. Now i'm her (watch as I get elected to office).
We, as a society, a long time ago have consciously chosen to put emphasis on people feelings and avoid behaviors that predictably lead to conflict, demonization, and/or demoralization of minority or disadvantaged groups. Although in other societies these behaviors are tolerated, here they are not. Outsiders projecting their ideals upon us can go fuck themselves and the application of laws that perpetuate the societies we purposefully and intentionally no longer want to be associated with as well as can ill afford. From just the evidence presented and nothing more, it's plain to see this guy is targeting women on trains and it makes us uncomfortable and scared to ride the trains. The guy must be an out of towner cuz everyone here does not act this way. In Japan, there are separate cars for women. This change occurred from the harrassment culture that was perpetuated by manga anime and media. This change was instituted to make women in Japan feel safe again riding public transport and does not overly inconvenience men folk cuz it's only enforced during rush hours.
Someone claiming they can do whatever they want cuz it's a public space is not acceptable here and shouldn't be. It breeds a confrontational society of self righteous warmongers that throws everyone but them into unsustainable unlivable lives. I'm surprised they don't all live in tents due to unaffordable housing while we find housing from people who really no longer need it. I like a roof over my head thank you.

Pretty sure this is going to be unpopular but …
Filming someone on a subway without their knowledge is often legal for video alone in the United States if you are in a public area and not focusing on intimate parts of their body, but it can become illegal depending on state wiretap (audio) laws, transit rules, and “unlawful surveillance” or voyeurism statutes. There are court cases and civil lawsuits touching on subway and public‑transit recording, but it really depends on purpose (e.g., sexual exploitation vs. news/photo use), location details, and whether audio is captured.
This guy is a creep and no he shouldn’t be able to record people like this. Then again you shouldn’t be able to destroy someone else’s property because you don’t like what they are doing with it. Would you feel the same way if he had his phone out and she did the same thing to it? What if it was a girl filming a man and he did this to her, would that be acceptable?
I hate to tell everyone we essentially live in a surveillance state and are constantly being filmed. Go look up Flock cameras or how easy it is to get Ring footage for example. I’m not condoning this in the least, but it is what it is. We honestly need better laws regarding this level of surveillance but as of right now we don’t.

You're correct that recording people in public is legal. However, while most people don't mind being recorded for surveillance / security purposes, they sure as fuck do mind being recorded as content for someone's tiktok following.
Like any anti-social behavior, most people might just ignore you, some people will tell you to knock it off, but sooner or later you'll encounter someone who doesn't give a fuck and they'll retaliate, perhaps violently. This shouldn't be surprising.

If the victim believes strongly enough and believes justice cannot be gleaned from the current society, he may not base his reactions or future actions based on legal or illegal.
A certain percentage of society will just go into video game mode. We see this over and over again.

You dont get to assault people and destroy property for being rude though is the point. Not holding the door for someone is rude but you can't then punch them for it, legally.

Taking your situation. Could make an argument, but this illustration is more convincing.
I'm living in a society that doesn't have that custom. i'm from a society that does. When they see the guy twice their size, sometimes not always, they somehow recall that's a custom.
This custom is a litmus test for how much a person can perceive beyond their own self. Some people are incapable of empathy or seek out applying lose-win situations.
I have a good idea. Don't fail at this custom. For those who really lack empathy they should be even more proactive as to fake it convincingly.
Choose your battles. This one is most definitely not worth fighting.

It should be noted that the legality depends on local laws. There are definitely countries where this is illegal.

legal illegal argument is weak. If you present a strong argument that is ignored and feel strongly justice was denied and decide to luigi your oppressors, laws have changed for less.

Then what do you call Ctrl+P to infinity? Capitalism?! It's a centrally managed economy that chooses winners and losers. With a splash of lawyerism and highwaymen.
This is the problem with isms. Great in theory, but never what is actually going on.
In a black and white universe, everything looks either black or white. It's a nice story we tell to deceive our children. Who then grow up and are supposed to be the adults in the room.
So tell me more about this socialism and capitalism. Or how we are the good guys. And how our brilliance is necessary for the continuation of the universe.
If you said white people, sure ok. But capitalism?! We've never experienced capitalism.

If you're fine with the most powerful recording you, why do you care if the least powerful do? The only line that can't be crossed is when we surveille each other? Or maybe if it's not obvious you're cool with it? Y'all deserve the incoming re enslavement you been supporting all these decades.

Wait a sec! Why wouldn't socialism rely on privacy-invading surveillance? They'd even be more inclined even after getting caught and told no.
From govts POV, The People are not making sufficient efforts, to protect our own privacy so it's not a problem.
Gov't corps will do whatever they can get away with. We live under "Rule of Lawyerism", not "Rule of law".
Unfortunately we need to make efforts to protect ourselves rather than continue not protecting ourselves.
The State will never protect you nor does it represent you. We are just marks.

If you are conservative. That means being ineffectual and whine alot but do nothing.
If these people had any intention at all to act to mitigate the situation their comments would look quite different:
Don't want to bleed metadata so please switch the conversation in the future over to Simplex, not Matrix/Element and definitely not Signal. And if you suggest WhatsApp i'm never speaking to you again. To prevent censorship prefer a forum where the comments have a non-zero barrier to entry thus adding a real cost to spam or gestapo activities. And to avoid being taxed into extinction i ask clients to pay in Monero. You can see exchange methods off kycme.not
Instead we are subjected to paranoia commentary that always lacks any discussion of privacy knowhow. How to actual mitigate risks based on your risk profile. It's so fucking obnoxious why do we have to take this nonsense seriously like it'll ever lead anywhere except in a circle.
Professing to be conservative is as close to being nonexistent that i'm surprised to find out not talking with a Buddhist.
conservatives pfft that's not even a thing. In the US, they don't even have their own party. There is the MIC party and the good intention that end in grift party. Which is like MIC with benefits. Doing nothing but whining and calling it right is nonsense as we learned post-2009 as they keep the same narrative and didn't adapt to changed realities. It was their Biden moment where all doubt was removed and became obvious to all they are completely full of shit.
Btw have consistently and publically voted for bitcoin since 2014. Not cuz price up price down cuz math. I use the term bitcoin so those not in the know recognize the term, i actually mean Monero.

One is easy and one is hard, duh. If you want this nerd to stop recording you you smash his dumb facebook glasses. If you want the us government to stop surveillance of you through shit like whatever Pegasus has evolved into, Cambridge analytica, and palantir, you do what exactly? Install Adblock? Do linux? Tor? News flash: you’re still getting profiled, just not as well. Move into a Unabomber style shack and eschew technology all together? Sounds expensive.

People can also move more and not be as sedentary instead of needing electronic assistants to help them not become fat because they don't burn the calories by sitting in a couch, an office chair, or in a car.

Science shows consistently excercise is healthy but not how you loose weight. A healthy weight loss plan is a calorie deficit of 500 calories 6 days a week. You can have one reasonable (eat what you want, but get in plenty of protein) cheat day.
ronl2k@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 247d
How is that done outside of a lab setting? Do you weigh each entree? What if your entree contains multiple foods of different proportions with different caloric values? I don't see such calorie counting being accurate enough to be useful.

One dont eat 19 foods at once, thats why you fat. 2 you should be counting all the kcals and protein of all your foods, until you n have a healthy routine.
But if you want a quick and dirty just ask chat gpt how much kcals and protein for each food you eat. Describe the foods, Serving size and there you go.
If you cook your food you know whats in it. If you dont cook it look at the label. If you eat out all the time you are already unhealthy n ducked.
I could say more, but you can Google it. I've done it any time I reach my *time to diet weight. Chefs and weight lifters do this all the time.

Then you're a part of the problem.
Billionaires won't protect our privacy. The Law and the government won't protect our privacy because they're bought by the billionaires. So it's up to each of us. If we want our privacy and our right to not have our images used in some server without our consent, it's up to us to smash the fucking things whenever we see it happening. Make the fuckers afraid to pull them out in public and make the sales tank.
You know as well as I do that the intended customer for these is influencer creeps with no regard for anyone's privacy; so fuck 'em.

Unless you are a mind reader, know the guy personally, or was there, there is no evidence this guy is creeping. Even if the guy is from a village that is inhabited only be creeps and one rapist. And the rapist is the most virtuous one in the village.
For fuck laden arguments sake, lets say he is (a creep). Lets use the US legal term, asshole. Lets say the guy is an asshole and he just so happens to be in a public area in a dangerous situation in a fucked up society. Then would defend his right to make recording in that situation.
Would like to say wouldn't live in such a society, but we don't get to choose where we were born.

Its unlikely they would film ME for the content. It would likely be that something else is the focus and I'm in the background. This doesnt invade my privacy as I'm expecting to be in public.
If someone was directly in my face filming my actions I wouldnt feel like my privacy had been violated I'd feel like I had encountered an asshole. Which happens sometimes when you leave your house and have to be among the general public.

Fixable by constant streaming to cloud. Which would be a needed feature for those at protests where it's expected to encounter censorship by the State. One step beyond that is the relay off mesh network until reach a few nodes with web connections.
The guy likes collecting evidence. Both against himself and others. Discovery is a bitch.
An unprovoked attack is an unprovoked attack. In this case, the guy choose not to beat her senseless. How kind of him. That's a gambling women. People laugh cuz she got away with it. And after losing a few teeth they'd react to that too. Some would laugh even harder. At which point who's the hero?
The woman, the man, or the guys laughing even harder?
Someone comes up to me and breaks my reading glasses or laptop, i'm gonna be thinking which arm was used? OK that is the arm i break. i'm a coder FAFO
Disclosure: in the subway a Japanese guy, no provocation, intentionally kicked my shin hard. Oh that's interesting, i've never been kicked by a chihuahua (i'm twice his size). Lets see how this plays out. So i choose to stand directly in front of him. And he continued to kick my shin and i continued to ignore the pain. Pain is temporary and it's also a choice. i'm not Christian, so turn the other cheek is a foreign concept. I deemed him too small to bother with. He had no where to retreat to. I'm leering over him, he's sitting. I could use overhead metal railing to brace against while kicking his head in. He was in a disadvantaged defensive position. I choose to pick my battles. To my knowledge to this day he doesn't have to eat thru a straw.
If at the time, had laptop and instead he kicked the laptop, that might have swayed me to take that challenge. Beating up a chihuahua is beneath me, but someone attacking my livelihood maybe needs to learn a lesson. In which case it's not violence, it's a teaching moment.
Now wear reading glasses. Breaking those glasses prevents me from coding. As does breaking the laptop.
My point is the risk she took was real. It was a dumb move unless her intent was to become a statistic. Celebrating a dumb move or crime is expected from legacy media and morons.

Let you in on thinking during this situation as struggled to assess the situation under duress, rather than in a court room. And why choose to react the way i did. Figured the reaction might come off as unbelievable or highly improbable. The entire situation is absurd.
Like with all the mixed reactions to all things that never happened in the article, can see how there could be a rainbow of reactions. Without the explanation there would be a sea of even more wild reactions. From the outset would rather nip those in the bud.
You are welcome to reach the conclusion you have. Although the two comments are mutually exclusive, pain is a theme in both. So that drew your attention. In some parallel universe where i'd be standing over this guy laughing while he's kicking me while encouraging others to also laugh while disparaging them for having laughed.
