Creeps and wannabe pickup artists are reportedly using Meta’s “smart glasses” to record their come-ons to unsuspecting women and post the videos online - and privacy advocates warn the situation could get catastrophically worse if the glasses were equipped with facial recognition.
A growing number of 'aspiring influencers' (call them aspiring assholes) are using the smart glasses to turn real-life encounters into content - prowling nightlife strips, shopping centers and city streets to film their unsolicited approaches to women, Wired reported.
The videos follow a familiar script - a compliment, a pickup line, a push for a name or number - with the footage later blasted across TikTok and Instagram for views, often without the subject ever realizing she was on camera.
The world would be a much better place if smart phones - and now smart glasses - were never invented, but I guess the technology will always be smarter than we are. Juss' sayin'...
