If it's from Meta in any way: No.

This is still surveillance, just with audio instead of video.
But this actually creates a new problem: wearers of pervert glasses have plausible deniability. “Are you filming me?” “Who, me? Oh no, these ones don’t have cameras. Trust me”.
No camera but it will six microphones.
And a camera!
Not a camera! A 'digital imaging device'. With AI!. Thats constantly connected! And it all happens on device! Encrypted for your safety! Trust us bro!
It's not even the glasses alone, it's that it's one more major part of the ENTIRE surveillance state that is growing around us. It is being sold to us as this great new future, but we are all very aware of what they really intend to do with it, which is enslave us in every way possible.
They are denying it, of course, claiming that this will make our futures easier, and more fun, but we KNOW these people, and they are not interested in making our lives easier or more enjoyable. Just the opposite, in fact. They want us working every second of our miserable lives to increase their personal profits. To them, that's ALL we are good for.
To us, they have ALL the money and power. Let's take that from them before they use it to kill everyone who resists them, because we all KNOW that's what's coming.
My favourite part of this is that Zuck was so out of ideas that he tried to reinvent Google Glass at great expense and is running into exactly the same social brick wall that project did.
So.... Glasses?
Not unless your normal glasses do all this: "The camera-free glasses, code-named Luna, will still feature an array of six microphones to allow users to speak to the company’s AI chatbot and its recently-released AI assistant, called Muse. They’ll presumably pick up audio from users’ environments as well, where bystanders may not be aware of the eavesdropping."
What I love about the internet sometimes is that the literal thought that I had - the literal comment, character for character - I wanted to make is already here.
No. Glasses with always-on microphones, internet connectivity and logging everything anyone is doing themselves + the people around them. So not much better than the current ones.
Great! A product for people who may not be perverts but like sucking the cock of an evil corporation!
Went to get glasses and made a big point of avoiding Ray Bands for taking Facebook money to make pervert glasses. Hoping it's not the first time they've heard that.
I do actually like the classic nerd look of their glasses, but yeah, fuck that.
FYI, Ray Ban is just a brand name owned by the same company that owns most well known glasses brands.
Once you realize how consolidated the eyeglass industry is its a lot harder to find truly independent brands.

So how about those state all-party-consent wiretap laws?
Why do you need glasses at all for a version with no camera? Can't someone just wear earbuds in that case? Can't someone's regular bluetooth (or even tethered) earbuds just talk to the phone in their pocket to do everything?
Great. Now I not only have to listen to other people in public talking on their phones but now talking to their glasses.
No no no no. You evil tech bros are supposed to be endlessly re-inventing trains. Did you even study in evil tech bro school, bro?
Lidar glasses incoming
How's it supposed to do Augmented Reality without a camera?
Oh shit, people think we're creepy like flock. Let's do what flock is working towards and drop the camera and move towards EVERY OTHER FORM OF FUCKING TRACKING AND SELLING DATA.
"Oh, don't worry, these are actually the Meta Glasses Freedom©®™. They're actually pretty innovative! I can go off-grid while still feeling so connected to all my feeds! Instead of recording to the cloud, I can use my new Freedoms©®™ to record moments directly to my brain using the new Facebook BAM technology. Yup, these babies don't have a single semiconductor, but Zuck still managed to somehow run Brain Access Memory on them! The best part is how cheap they are! Nearly half the price, and you get a 10% discount on their AI subscription since these glasses don't actually transfer any data. But that subscription lets the Meta Glasses Freedom©®™ assist me with directly accessing memories whether the glasses were present or not! It's a pretty sweet deal, if you really think about it."
How does this beat a glasses and earphone combo. You take the glasses off but still enjoy the use of the earphones that way.
Zuckerfuck has no shame.
And also no vision. Dudes always been a late follower after the latest fad, hoping throwing crazy amount of money at it will compensate for being late to the party.
If he didn't have controlling ownership over the company, he'd have been booted out years ago.
Well yeah. One lf the requirements of being a billionaire is having no shame.
The other requirement is sociopathy.
