What part didn’t you understand?
- Comment on Dumb glasses 2 weeks ago:
By “doesn’t exist” you mean that you don’t recognize them, rights only exist because people say so. Recognizing moral rights as more important than legal rights is a popular social value, and happens all around you everyday. It’s not something you can halt or debate, you have to find a way to accept how people are.
- Comment on Dumb glasses 2 weeks ago:
It’s also a fact that people can stop you, illegal or not, whether you like it or not. You also act as though a visible, private camera the same as a slealth camera that uploads to a cloud. They are different, and so people will feel different about them.
You seem more focused on trying to get away with stealth recording than if it’s correct to do so, especially when someone argues about the ethics.
- Comment on Dumb glasses 2 weeks ago:
Yes because it involves technology, no not because it implies interest. It’s wrong because technology lets you share what you see with others. People trust you to see butts on a beach because they know who exactly can see the butts, andcan personally deal with creeps. I wouldn’t go to a beach where my butt could end up online without my being abletostop it (and I mean a focused shot, not a general beach picture).

All laws are, in some way, based on feelings that are explainable. We feel murder is bad, so we write laws against it. In places where murder is in some way legal, people fight murderers because they feel they must
We feel surveillance is bad, and we are explaining why we feel that way and why those feelings are valid. We are taking away from you what you see as a right, but we see as a privilege.
- Comment on Dumb glasses 2 weeks ago:
Well if you set up a camera, it’s probably not the smart glasses, and thus not problematic. Someone could break your glasses, and even if they fail, they could chase you away, so you couldn’t record what you wanted to, and others would know to avoid you.
Like it or not, legal or not, people would attempt to stop you, and this whole thread is people explaining exactly why they’d do that.
You act as if this is the first social issue you’ve discussed with a group, and that’s ok, but remember that you entered into a discussion in progress, and it’s up to you to catch up with the discourse.
- Comment on Dumb glasses 2 weeks ago:
That’s why people are trying to change the law to make these glasses illegal. They are willing to risk the consequences until that point.
You only care about the law protecting you, and are taking advantage of the law not yet protecting others. If you abuse the law, others see no issue with breaking the law to stop you.
- Comment on Dumb glasses 2 weeks ago:
The reason it’s wrong is because the device filming is sending data to police and corporations, who frequently abuse the law. People do not have a problem with you using any other camera, such as a phone or camcorder. The problem is the specific device, not filming in general.
- Comment on Dumb glasses 2 weeks ago:
I can help explain. People are threatening physical violence because they see surveillance as akin to violence. They know that you are not the only one with access to the camera, that corporations or police could see them through your camera. They know that corporations and police often abuse their power and harrass people who legally oppose them.
These people feel they have no other options but violence because automatic surveillance is forced onto societies regardless of the people’s vote. They believe violence is bad, but surveillance is worse, and since surveillance can lead to violence by the state, people would rather be violence towards surveillance tech now before they are threatened for whatever the government decides is illegal that day.
I agree with you that violence is often not the answer, and that discourse and voting is the right way. Where we might disagree is how well discourse and voting works when both are manipulated for selfish gain. Violence is a last resort, never a first, and it’s important to understand why people choose violence because it shapes society so drastically.
I wouldn’t punch a person wearing smart glasses, but I support both other people breaking their property and pushing to make that property illegal. Laws serve society, not the other way around.

How is it illogical if it worked? It might be immoral, but there’s a clear through-line of cause and effect.
- Comment on Dumb glasses 2 weeks ago:
You really want these glasses, don’t you? You’re smart enough to debate the hypothetical, but miss the obvious point that new things will not be regulated as they should be, so the law doesn’t function as it should in this situation. You cling tightly to the law as if it’s doing what it’s meant to do, when we both know you’d be taking advantage of the lack of laws for no clear benefit.

- Comment on GOG job listing for a Senior Software Engineer notes "Linux is the next major frontier" 2 months ago:
That’s only if the HR knew what they were talking about when crafting the listing. Not saying GOG will use AI for good, but we don’t know if the job will require something like ChatGPT or something in-house that isn’t like GPT.
- Comment on GOG job listing for a Senior Software Engineer notes "Linux is the next major frontier" 2 months ago:
You’re talking about the worst of AI, which I agree should be dismantled. There are many smaller projects that do not do the things you mentioned, and it’s possible to support those while shunning corporate AI.
- Comment on GOG job listing for a Senior Software Engineer notes "Linux is the next major frontier" 2 months ago:
AI is not a monolith; there are a lot of tools out there that you don’t hear about because all the focus is on the large, corporate models that are meant to dehumanize. LLMs like Gemini, Grok, and ChatGPT are awful inventions that should be dismantled, but smaller ML projects found on GitHub shouldn’t be lumped in, as the few that survive the bubble will stick around because they prove to be effective.
- Comment on GOG job listing for a Senior Software Engineer notes "Linux is the next major frontier" 2 months ago:
Hey I’m against corporate AI too, but when anyone can create a very basic ML program that runs locally with public domain data, eventually something both useful and ethical will emerge. It’s good to be skeptical, but you don’t have to be an AI bro to see that some specific tools might meet or exceed your standards.
I don’t like image or video generators, but the core tech is really useful for frame interpolation, a usecase that is not inherently controversial and badly needs improvement.
Sorry to not-x-it’s-y, but it’s not about forcing the big tool into your workflow, it’s about finding the 1001 little tools that work every time and collecting them. Or, wait for these tools to be consolidated.
If I seem naive, It’s cause I believe in reclaiming as much from tainted technology as possible.
