Its meta so they'll get their hands on that data the way peoples numbers end up in metas hands despite not having a Facebook account because people gave the app permission to contacts.
I'm not talking about a Meta made pair of glasses. I would never buy those due to the privacy issues. I'm talking about a potential pair of glasses that are open source, or at least privacy focused, and don't phone home.
Average people will have it phone home for convenience. Just how things play out. I think the tech is cool, but not looking forward to how it'll be utilized in the end.
Yeah, not looking forwards to being in Meta (or any other massive company)'s database or whatever when a friend or family member wears one of these.
Like VR, meta's will probably be the best priced and have the best tech on top of it for the price, so end up getting the most market share too.
