I’m surprised they’re not charging on a $/GB saved model.

> I imagine if someone entered an establishment with their camera phone out recording everything all the time, they'd likely be told to put it away or get kicked out, too.

I agree somewhat, but I think it depends on the location as to how quickly people would react, and this kind of thing is almost expected in outdoor spaces, so the parameters seem different. Also, doing this with a camera phone needs intentionality from the person recording - they have to want to keep recording enough to keep doing it. Camera glasses just don't have that kind of friction, and it would be similarly easy to forget to stop them.

On the company side, while I think most people would expect that camera phone video does end up on social media eventually, it feels different when a company whose entire business is advertising and tracking is creating a product with passive, easy to forget and somewhat covert data collection.

Of course, those devices aren't made by a company whose sole purpose is the total and utter destruction of privacy, which is where this idea perhaps breaks down for the Ray-Bans.

Well there's your problem right there.

I never said there wasn't, but I also wasn't talking about human roles where people in larger creative teams have some kind of artistic say in the final output of a much larger process involving other talented humans. That is a very different example and I think you know that.

But you didn't create anything in this case. Not the images at least. Which then casts doubt on the rest of the writing in said blog post.

To be fair, that seems to be (almost) all humans talk about now too.
