These products exist to collect data to train models. Every other function they perform is secondary.
People are paying hundreds for these, and then they’re paying the companies with their data, over and over again. Never before has an industry been able to have such spin on a product.
It’s effectively paying a company for the ability to give them unpaid labor.
What a goddamn surprise! surprised_pikachu.jpg
If anyone’s wondering, Ray-Bans are not cool anymore
Raybans never were cool. They’re just an expensive brand name propped up by fashion.
Raybans used to be the cheap gas station sunnies. They were cool then and $25 a pair.
Fucking Luxottica buying up all the brands. How has the EU not broken them up yet?
Blame Men in Black
I would be pretty surprised if they didn’t capture manual video recordings. Whatever moron actually bought those glasses consented to it in their vague terms of service anyways, and it’s free data they can sell and use for targeted advertising.
Morons sending their life details to Meta for well over a decade: So?
