I don’t deny these can cause privacy issues as does the ubiquity of small devices with high quality cameras in general but I don’t think this law professor really understands the tech very well if she’s worried about “nudification” in connection to these.

There’s nothing in particular about smartglasses that would enable such a use and they’re considerably worse than a regular phone for that in every regard except for the covert picture taking. They completely lack the displays and processing power needed for it unlike, say, a phone.

@VoidJuiceConcentrate@midwest.social @BrikoX@lemmy.zip listening, sure… just like all our phones and smart home speakers and watches tend to be these days… but what’s your evidence it is always looking? I don’t think that is currently the case but I certainly wouldn’t rule out them doing it in the future once it becomes less of an issue for the battery life of these.

@volkris@qoto.org @sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al there’s absolutely more to being decentralized than just using “decentralization techniques”. Those techniques just mean it could be decentralized in theory but isn’t at all in practice. At least not for now.

It’s like saying your service is “decentralized” even though you run and control it all because you use load-balancing with your web servers.

@cryptocurrency@lemmy.ml only somewhat indirectly related to cryptocurrency in that it is just part of the broader trend of making it possible to track all monetary transactions but I definitely don’t want to see this become a thing.

Besides the privacy implications, I could see it meaning you need to own a non-rooted mobile phone using one of the major operating systems to pay for anything. We already see that kind of thing with other things so going cashless seems like it could easily lead to that becoming universal for all payments. #cashless #cryptocurrency
