Is the terrible idea "always-on AI glasses" or is it "giving all the data they collect to Meta with no proper regulation in place"? My phone and laptop already collect a ton of data that is more than I would like to share with a company that thinks of me as a product. But that data collection is unavoidable as a side effect of very useful functionality. We need to focus on trust, not restriction. | ||

> We need to focus on trust, not restriction. we could probably focus on both. without sounding too cynical, by now we would be fools to continue trusting certain companies/industries. we’re victims in an abusive relationship, “they won’t hit us next time, they promised.” | ||

How can we still believe in the trust idea when 1/ accidental leaks happen every single day and 2/ corporations do not even hide any more their intent and uses of the collected data? (Pokemon Go being the « funniest » recent one) At some point, the regulatory/legal backlash will require hard personal responsibility (that is, jail consequences) for this to be taken seriously at the corporate and technical levels and so trust to be reinstated. | ||
