Quoting Nilay Patel
Simon Willison 5 days ago
Nilay Patel argues that functional augmented reality glasses require continuous camera recording and cloud processing of visual data, which inevitably creates privacy violations. Current technical constraints mean viable AR glasses must either send real-time video to remote servers or use a device as large as Apple's Vision Pro with an external battery. Patel suggests society should consider whether the privacy costs of such a product outweigh its benefits.
