"using the bathroom" will be the least of what they're watching people do. Anyone wearing these glasses (or similar) should know that all of the audio/video picked up by the glasses will be watched and analyzed by others, likely by AI as well. Just like the entire point of facebook is to spy on people and profit from that data, the entire point of these devices is to spy on people in ways that the facebook app doesn't/can't and profit from that data.
Sadly, "using the bathroom" will cause a more immediate visceral reaction for most people than "maliciously manipulating your entire life via ad networks and media".
We definitely don’t have any hard boundaries baked into this tech preventing big tech from (ab)using our data this way. But are there specific companies you think are doing this? I think with Meta products, it’s been rather obvious for a long time. But I’ve had a Nest doorbell camera and thermostats for years, and first iRobot and now Roborock vacuums, and they don’t really seem so suspect.
Sure you do. All of those are available in local versions without Internet.
Youjust need to care enough, be able to afford them (while my vacuum has no camera, it requires the cloud, but it was significantly cheaper than a local or hackable one), and have the ability to self host something like home assistant.
How many times will the same report be regurgitated and reposted? There is nothing added here that the original source didn't cover already (https://www.svd.se/a/K8nrV4/metas-ai-smart-glasses-and-data-...). Read that instead of the derivative blogspam.
As is already revealed with Meta leadership knowing that they make 7billion a year on scam ads. They even calculated that global regulations and fines might cost them 1 billion.
So fines and regulations are priced in as a fraction of the net earnings.

And now realise the same is true for your robot vacuum, car camera, doorbell camera, etc etc
We consumers have no protection against big tech

Speak for yourself, I rooted my vacuum the day I bought it
Don't use it.

Privacy-wise, isn't this completely on-brand and expected from Meta? Is anyone surprised by these kinds of revelations?
No. Read the book "Careless People". Meta leadership tried to downplay it by saying the stories are exaggerated. It seems doubtful to me.
I have read it and was enough to delete the insta account for good. Still have the fb unfortunately use it to handle some Non profit pages
It's cheaper for them to settle in a lawsuit than what they are gaining by doing this. If it wasn't, they wouldn't. The laws are broken.

Meta does Meta things (again). People surprised (again).
Anyone wearing these glasses in public should be punched in the face. Especially public transport.
Why especially public transport?
Well, when you physically assault someone on public transport, at least there's a lot of witnesses present who can testify against you?
“Hey Meta” gets “OK Glassed”.
