    It has to be recording at least for temporary storage to “observe” the surroundings as exemplified.
    Usually the way Google does that is to use a centralized service to treat the data, that means these recordings are also sent to a server.

    This creates immense surveillance potential, and in EU USA and American companies are not considered safe to handle or store such data.

    Even if the recording is deleted seconds after, it is still recording, and “someone” could decide to store it permanently based on the content. For instance based on face recognition.

      People don’t get it.

      FBI, CIA, DHS, can access your smart TV, while “off” and use the speakers as microphones to listen to you.

      @[email protected] in what demonstrated uses is it doing that? I’ve only seen it observe when asked to in any of the demos and that’s certainly how Meta’s current glasses do it - you have to request it to take a look.

      Meta’s live AI mode does let you have a continuous conversation about your surroundings but that something that you also have to ask for on purpose and that will consume a considerable amount of battery.
