Nice gate keeping attempt.

The only community I am subscribed to are the moment is this one. Maybe that’s why? Like you said, I’m just new.

I’m a tech enthusiast. I love them bleeding edge of tech. I don’t look at a new tech product through the cynical lens that you clearly do. I look at it with an open mind about what it could do and what it could become. Like I said in another comment, people had these same “creep” comments and opinions about cameras on phones, but that thankfully didn’t slow down their adoption and innovation.

Do you just accuse everyone you disagree with of being a “shill”? You have to wonder about what type of person jumps straight to that.

All that is great, and correct, but my point is that it asks you to confirm its commands that it runs. It asks you to confirm every change it makes to your code. It asks you to confirm every file it creates.

Everything it does goes through your permission.

You also shouldn’t have it do anything anywhere close to a production system, so it shouldn’t be able to do anything of any consequence.

I want life to be easier. I want convenience.

Why do people pretend like every product has to “solve a problem”? That’s complete rubbish.

Imagine walking down an aisle and simply looking at a product, not having to even pick it up, and it tells you that it contains something you’re allergic to or dislike. That’s the kind of thing that is possible at the absolutely lowest level of imagination required.

You said you saw no uses, not that there is no need.

So much the same as phones? Are phones “creep phones”?

There are multiple ways to prevent this, they just haven’t implemented any of them yet because the pushback hasn’t been loud enough, nor has anything been legislated.

People felt the same way about phone cameras at one stage. You might not be old enough to remember, or might not have even been born.

Phones in Japan had to be made so you couldn’t disable the shutter sound when taking a photo.

One thing I’ve really learned over the years is that a huge percentage of the population has virtually no ability to think ahead even a few years in terms of tech, let alone long term. I guarantee you that smart glasses are going to be as ubiquitous as smart phones and smart watches in a decade or 2. They are the natural evolution of the smartphone, or as an everyday wearable.

You must also be thinking of the older one which was crap. This is the current one which has clicky physical buttons that also can act as a gesture pad, and a mute button.

This was the garbage one before that:

The current remote has physical buttons that have a track pad over the surface of them. You can completely disable the track pad and gestures and just use it like a plain old remote if you want. The gestures-only remote was replaced years ago, thankfully.

This is the old one that I assume you’re talking about?

I’m not sure how much AI stuff you’ve used, but they can’t access anything you don’t give them permission to access. Like they literally ask you to confirm every single command they run. If you press the “have full access and don’t ask me any more questions” button then you’re accepting the risk that it can do whatever it likes.

Well the chances of a doctor wearing meta raybans is near 0%, so I guess this doesn’t happen and we can move on.

But the article is about using a GOOGLE TV stick……

It’s not about “owning your stack”.
