But it wouldn’t hold up to the least amount of scrutiny in that case, and not a single person would ever brush their teeth with it.
It’s like you can’t understand what is being said here.

No, you’re the one protesting and calling everyone who doesn’t agree with you a creep.

Net zero doesn’t mean lowering pollution btw. Net zero means essentially cancelling out any pollution by planting trees, buying carbon credits, etc. It’s possible to be the biggest polluter and also net zero as a company. If that actually helps the planet is another story.

From your own link:
Germany’s network regulator says smart glasses are legal “as long as the recording function is clearly visible.” Reuters reports:
People can file lawsuits all they want, doesn’t mean they have merit or will win.
Every country has had laws around recording/photographing in public for decades. This isn’t new. Most of them, overwhelmingly so, give you no expectation of privacy when in public areas, because otherwise you’d essentially be banning cameras and video recording in the country.
I say you’re the one who is out of touch because you don’t appear to know that these laws exist already.

on First test flight of largest all-electric aircraft used just $5 of electricity in c/technology@lemmy.world · 16 Aug 2026
Yeah and I agree, that’s a great step that hopefully will come to fruition soon enough. I’m just saying that people need to temper their expectations because full electric passenger flights, especially long haul, are simply not possible with existing battery technology, not even close.
-
on First test flight of largest all-electric aircraft used just $5 of electricity in c/technology@lemmy.world · 16 Aug 2026
Yep definitely. I have to question the $5 of electricity claim though. $5 of electricity would barely even get an electric car that far. What size are the batteries? Where did they get this incredibly cheap power to where it can output over a megawatt of power?

Ok and I’m looking at that tech through a lens of what it can do and what it can become. Does it completely get rid of all of the germs and bad stuff? Does the toothpaste have the same properties as regular toothpaste? If it does all of that, why wouldn’t you be interested in exploring it?
That would be a completely revolutionary product that could change the world. It could provide better dental hygiene for the entire world.

on AI agents aren’t legally responsible for any harm that they cause, experts say. So who is? in c/technology@lemmy.world · 16 Aug 2026
No, not at all, and I’m not sure how that could be the conclusion you came to from my post.
AI should never be touching prod systems without extreme safeguards/permissions set by the systems that they are accessing. Give it a read only db user account. Give it write access to some tables, but no delete/truncate. No AI should be able to run bash commands on production systems by itself without proper safeguards. That’s a failure of the users if it can.
Systems and software that was built by AI are fine to go into production environments after they’ve done through the regular pipeline of local testing, peer review, QA, unit tests, integration tests, test environment, stage environment, etc.
You never just give AI unfettered access to production systems to do whatever it wants, just like you don’t give a junior dev that access. People that aren’t “smart or educated enough” won’t have that access either - and again, if they do that’s a gigantic failure by the people that are.

on PayPal Honey Under Fire: Affiliate Tracking Lawsuit Moves Forward in c/technology@lemmy.world · 15 Aug 2026
Bill Gates’ daughter’s company just got caught doing this exact same “cookie stuffing” thing. There is damning evidence, including internal slack chats and emails that have been confirmed, showing that they knew what they were doing. Something like 80% of all of their tens of millions of dollars in revenue was by hijacking people’s purchases with their affiliate code.
I expect nothing will happen to her, of course.

on First test flight of largest all-electric aircraft used just $5 of electricity in c/technology@lemmy.world · 15 Aug 2026
Yeah unfortunately this is only viable for extremely short flights 100-200 miles as the article says. Batteries are just too heavy and planes needs too much power for anything more.
These would be the perfect private jet for the ultra rich who take a jet to work a few minutes away, or to go shopping, but for commercial flights they’re basically not an option until we have a huge breakthrough in battery tech. We need the mythical “coming next year” for the last 20 years “solid state batteries”.

Ok so you fundamentally don’t understand that in public places you have no expectation of privacy and can be recorded or photographed without consent in most of the world. You might not like that or agree with it, but that’s how it is.
Seems you’re the one who is out of touch.

on Woman Calls Out Doctor Wearing Smart Glasses During Consultation Where She Had To Take Off Her Clothes: 'They Need To Be Banned' in c/technology@lemmy.world · 15 Aug 2026
Now you’re trying to make a distinction between recording and recording exactly from your PoV? Why? Why does that make any difference?
Glasses are visible, and what I’ve been saying is that there just needs to be legislation and standards around making it obvious when smart glasses are recording.

Nice gate keeping attempt.
The only community I am subscribed to at the moment is this one. Maybe that’s why? Like you said, I’m just new.
I’m a tech enthusiast. I love the bleeding edge of tech. I don’t look at a new tech product through the cynical lens that you clearly do. I look at it with an open mind about what it could do and what it could become. Like I said in another comment, people had these same “creep” comments and opinions about cameras on phones, but that thankfully didn’t slow down their adoption and innovation.
Do you just accuse everyone you disagree with of being a “shill”? You have to wonder about what type of person jumps straight to that.
-
on AI agents aren’t legally responsible for any harm that they cause, experts say. So who is? in c/technology@lemmy.world · 15 Aug 2026
All that is great, and correct, but my point is that it asks you to confirm its commands that it runs. It asks you to confirm every change it makes to your code. It asks you to confirm every file it creates.
Everything it does goes through your permission.
You also shouldn’t have it do anything anywhere close to a production system, so it shouldn’t be able to do anything of any consequence.

Why do people pretend like every product has to “solve a problem”? That’s complete rubbish.
Imagine walking down an aisle and simply looking at a product, not having to even pick it up, and it tells you that it contains something you’re allergic to or dislike. That’s the kind of thing that is possible at the absolutely lowest level of imagination required.

So much the same as phones? Are phones “creep phones”?
There are multiple ways to prevent this, they just haven’t implemented any of them yet because the pushback hasn’t been loud enough, nor has anything been legislated.
-
on Woman Calls Out Doctor Wearing Smart Glasses During Consultation Where She Had To Take Off Her Clothes: 'They Need To Be Banned' in c/technology@lemmy.world · 14 Aug 2026
People felt the same way about phone cameras at one stage. You might not be old enough to remember, or might not have even been born.
Phones in Japan had to be made so you couldn’t disable the shutter sound when taking a photo.
One thing I’ve really learned over the years is that a huge percentage of the population has virtually no ability to think ahead even a few years in terms of tech, let alone long term. I guarantee you that smart glasses are going to be as ubiquitous as smart phones and smart watches in a decade or 2. They are the natural evolution of the smartphone, or as an everyday wearable.

You must also be thinking of the older one which was crap. This is the current one which has clicky physical buttons that also can act as a gesture pad, and a mute button.

The current remote has physical buttons that have a track pad over the surface of them. You can completely disable the track pad and gestures and just use it like a plain old remote if you want. The gestures-only remote was replaced years ago, thankfully.

I’m not sure how much AI stuff you’ve used, but they can’t access anything you don’t give them permission to access. Like they literally ask you to confirm every single command they run. If you press the “have full access and don’t ask me any more questions” button then you’re accepting the risk that it can do whatever it likes.

Idiots using things incorrectly and getting bad results is not an AI created problem. When you get a dog, you are responsible for what it does. When you use AI, you are responsible for what it does.
If you don’t know how to use a chainsaw, don’t use one and then blame the manufacturer when you cut your leg off.

It’s not at all like that, because guns and knives are different and give different results. You can buy any number of “spycam” glasses online whenever you want.
Laws already exist around using them in private settings. They also exist around using them in public settings too - you have no expectation of privacy in public, because you’re in public. You can’t stop someone taking your photo while you’re walking down the street.

But in that analogy, the knife routinely asks you to confirm if you want to fire bullets or not.
AI does nothing without people telling it what to do, and giving it permission to do it.

on Top economist warns that the AI math doesn’t make sense: 'Profits are currently being funded by investors rather than earned from customers' in c/technology@lemmy.world · 13 Aug 2026
“Top economist”? Sounds like that title is self given, as this is essentially how every single startup works, until long after they’re startups. Companies like Spotify and Netflix and every other big tech company worked exactly the same.
They’re all kept alive by investors until they’ve grown to a size where they can sustain themselves. Every dollar they earn from customers is re-invested back in the company until then, and they rely on investor funding.

Usually I’d agree, but the article and Google specifically got in front of this - they only counted people who opened the Gemini app, used the Gemini web interface, or Gemini live. They didn’t count people who simply used a google product that has Gemini in it.
Genuinely impressive numbers taking that into account. Had no idea it was popular.
Edit: has Gemini replaced the Google assistant shortcuts on all Android phones? If so, this is less impressive.

You can’t see any other reason why having a heads-up-display on your vision, with AI being able to recognise every single thing in its vision? None at all?
Even the biggest haters of the technology can surely not be that blinded. Here’s an example for you - real time text and audio language translation, from any language to any language.
You now can see another reason :)

I don’t think it is an overstatement. It could mean full AR the world over. In every shop you could look at something and have a pop up with its price, allergy information, materials, place of manufacturing.
At every sporting event you could have your own personal replays and multiple camera angles.
While cooking you could have instructions showing you exactly where to cut, how long to pour, when and how to stir, timers for multiple bits of your cooking, see the temperature of something by looking at it.
While repairing a car engine you could have every part being labelled for you, with detailed instructions on every single step of everything from changing the oil to rebuilding an engine.
While driving you could see the speed of other cars, be alerted to potential hazards, see directions from your point of view.
The limit really is the sky for AR, which is what the end goal is for smart glasses. That’s the unfathomable usefulness of the technology.

The chance of a hidden camera existing is near 0%
You can’t genuinely believe this, can you? If a person is a creep who wants to record people in private situations without their consent, there’s a much higher than 0% chance.
It’s like you’re a child who can’t comprehend basic sentences.
