> I really like them

Do you expect your opinion to change as your daughter grows up and makes her own experiences with being filmed all the time?

I feel reminded of those always on AI cameras from a few years ago (google?) that were advertised to young parents because that’s like the one singular moment where it’s pretty uncontroversial to do this.

Kids are cute and full of energy, hands full, don’t want to miss a moment.

But smart glasses have real implications for our society around bullying, harassment, stalking etc.

All things that older children and young adults are affected by the most

If I were in high school again I would not want smart glasses to be normal

That's a valid point. I think that kids should be able to live with experimentation possible without consequences. In practice, most teens have smartphones now and are indiscriminate in recording them. If anything changes here it will have to be the practice of recording people has to fade because it's impossible to be certain you've not got a smartphone across the room videotaping you. And in public there's no proscription on other people using their smartphones to video you as well.

I doubt I'd even notice if someone was leaning back and video recording me from their seat as I walk down the street. It would just look like a lounging person reading social media.

But yeah, I probably would prefer to have her have access to at least some private spaces without any recording so she can rest easy, but in public that's a societal shift and the smart goggles add very little. It's just inherent in computers that their processes to see also store high-fidelity. Presumably with sufficiently advanced video generation all acts will be deniable or some other such thing will occur.
