Zuckerberg hailed AI ‘superintelligence’. Then his smart glasses failed on stage

The problem with those AI glasses isn't the AI part of it, but the always-on cameras with that terrible, terrible company Facebook always watching.

Whoever wears those things in public will have the same problem those who tried wearing Google's smartglasses experienced a few years back: people who recognize they're being filmed against their will will get angry, demand that the gormless geek doff the cameras, then punches will be thrown if the geek doesn't comply.

Smartglasses - particularly those powered by privacy-invading monopolies - are socially out of place. They're not really desired or welcome anywhere. Even Google recognized this and pulled the plug on their smartglasses project, and Facebook will too if they have any common sense.
