There’s a difference though - currently, this kind of tech and breadth of surveillance is largely in the hands of corporations and government. In the near future, when things like these glasses are invisible _and_ mildly affordable (even iPhone-price), it becomes a lot more interesting and invasive. Couple that with LLMs that can be used to quickly catalog and index the people in videos, maybe toss in community-driven repositories of peoples’ recordings, and it will be much much harder for anyone to avoid being spotted unless you just don’t leave your house.

Reminds me to check in with the current state of cloaking tech.

for sure - it is inevitable, if you live in modern society. This is a past tense discussion, as it's already happening, even as I type this msg in reddit of course. The only way out is to leave and live in the woods pretty much, but that doesn't stop it, it only delays the engagement.
