I think the facial recognition bit of it is what makes it novel.
Under your argument the smartphone was not an innovation, it’s just a computer you carry in your pocket. And actually computers are not an innovation they are just calculators that can make a lot more calculations at one time.
It’s kind of disingenuous.
It is unoriginal because meta already did it! They directly referenced meta in their description.

Illegal in the EU btw.
Yet another reason I should flee the US.

Illinois requires two party consent for recording in-person conversations at least.

That sounds nice. Seems like something my state (CA) might have?

Anybody can 'launch' a 'startup'. Alway-on recording has been around since the 60s. 'Smart' glasses? Har. Guess they never heard of 'glassholes'.

Is there anything whatsoever a privacy-minded person can do about something like this, in terms of personal protection?
Wait 'til they come out (if ever), figure out the tech, make/buy a detector, pull your club out ur backpack ...

SUCH a great movie

Everything has already been invented. So we get this shit to invade our lives and ruin the last little bit of anything good.
FUCK CAPITALISM.
That's not true, but this kind of devices has been subject to extensive thought experiments in science fiction and philosophy and found lacking actual use.
It's like a watch implant. You need to know time, looking at tower clocks and wall clocks isn't too convenient. Wrist watches and in general portable watches were a thing of beauty, but also quite useful for military commanders, sailors and pilots. But this progression doesn't lead you to implanting a watch into your hand, so that you'd always have it.
Similarly, this progression doesn't lead humanity to needing such devices, or honestly much of modern computing. It's just a personal computer. Even smartphones are honestly a less than convenient form factor, approaching minimal usable size.
All this is just a way to spend resources in some other way than actually building a unified humanity with access to good medicine, education, connectivity, food, political and labor rights. That's not even because those powerful people are evil, - I think it's more because doing anything real with such implications can get you killed. Even a supposed rich psychopath isn't usually evil, doing a good thing weighs about as much as doing a bad thing with the same amount of resources for them. We live in a time when those resources are actually present in the world, - 100 years ago this wasn't yet true. Which makes improving anything for real a dangerous endeavor, because every such improvement destroys someone else's base.
A bit like a capitalist version of late USSR's deadlocks.

I record all my phone calls. It allows me to pretend not to forget all the names, dates, places and other important details we just talked about with the other person as soon as the call ends.
Do you get consent before every recording?

I'm starting to think a lot of these college people don't even attempt to solve problems that face the working class.
They just come up with more bullshit for us to waste our money on.

Well... i personally am completely ready to go to jail for inflicting bodily harm on a person using something like that...

Tell that to silicon valley, its a marketing bit now. Being "Too cool for school" is part of the tech startup playbook.
