That’s a weird a.i.-generated doctor. O.o
There is no question that this violates doctor patient confidentiality and damages trust. Fuck no. Even if they fucking have to not take of their clothes NO.
Yes, dipshits like that should be banned from the medical profession.
That seems like a HIPAA violation because it’s unknown eyes and ears in the exam room.
They should look like this

And instead of recording, they should remind doctors of the basics that they often forget. Two legs, one heart, etc… (I’ve dealt with moron doctors)
I can’t believe that image in the thumbnail came from official Meta marketing. I have to imagine that Jared the Subway guy didn’t make the cut because he didn’t look creepy enough.
It is really upsetting that we can’t get actually good “smart glasses”. Like, glasses that have a little screen projected on the lenses and can do searches and stuff for you on the fly, or display text like a script or something, or watch a video, or see your music playlist…
Why does everyone trying to make “smart glasses” feel compelled to include a fucking hidden camera?? And now it’s even worse with the AI riddle surveillance state we are living in. I won’t even be a little surprised to find out that Meta’s pervert glasses are being co-opted by Flock to add even more cameras to their “safety” network…
I want smart glasses like a smart watch: a quick glance to see a message, workout data, maybe GPS directions, that’s about it.
No camera needed.
Why? None of that would improve my life in any way.
Yeah it’s a shame, I’d be up for some augmented reality. Except it would mostly be ads, and too many people can’t be trusted not to be pervy with the cameras.
Those do exist. They’re just expensive. Look up the Even Realities G2 smart glasses. They have a monochrome heads up display, conversation analysis, live translate, notifications from your phone, time, date ect. Oh, and there is no camera on them by design (the developers understand and acknowledge that a camera is a huge privacy risk). They also have an open SDK and developer tools so that you can make your own apps for them. They’re kind of like real life E.D.I.T.H. glasses.
Do you know if the microphone can be disabled? Or the features that use it? Basically I’d want glasses like these that primarily react to inputs I make on my phone or show things the phone can figure out based on my location etc. I’d want to be 100% certain no audio is being recorded or even uploaded to a translation service.
I just wish they had “headphones”/audio out.
Yeah, it’s unfortunate but until we get robust privacy laws (which won’t happen) none of this shit can ever be trusted. Anyone arguing to put more cameras and microphones into our lives at this point should be met with an ass beating. If our politicians were worth anything those laws would have been in place before it ever got this far. Instead they’re all bought and paid for.
For me, the hypothetical appeal of Smart Glasses would be to identify the things in my environment and point them out. That requires a camera. I’m not remotely interested in having augmented reality glasses enough to give a corporation my data like that.
Or you could just buy a guide book that someone painstakingly put together to help you understand your environment.
Having actually read the article, I think that doctor himself should be fired and his license to practice revoked. It’s just sounding like another case of the wrong people being entrusted with this kind of technology, so now it’s creating an issue. The trust with doctors is more or less corroded as is the trust in the health care system is, so I’m not surprised to learn that some doctor operating on a side-agenda we’ve yet to know about in his life is the reason here.
The confrontation, shared in a video that has circulated on Reddit, centres on a simple but uncomfortable question: should a doctor be wearing glasses with a built-in camera while examining a patient in an intimate clinical setting?
I hate it when articles do this. Firstly, answer is NO. secondly there’s nothing uncomfortable about the question itself because answer is a NO, third there’s no need to frame a clear violation of privacy as a question. If it’s not acceptable to pull out a phone and start recording in that situation, then it’s clearly not acceptable to wear those glasses.
“Is genocide OK if after you sweep away all those no-good ‘Undesireables’ you get to build a seaside villa and resort AND you now get to pump oil out of the ground from where those peoples’ homes once were? …Some experts say YES! And we agree! Here’s why…”
-articles like these
Movie trailer voice;
This hour, a new sensation will sweep across the globe, the creators of “top 10 lists” return to ask the questions that nobody else will in “Articles Like These”, staring A.L. Clanker (coming soon to screens near you).
If the glasses were hipaa compliant, they could be used as a medical tool, but I would never trust Zucks glasses to be like that.

She should have slapped those glasses off his face. Legally speaking it should be fine to punch anyone wearing pervert glasses in the face.
9 out of 10 doctors choose not to wear pervert-glasses.
But that one guy…
“9 out of 10 dentists recommend not smashing your teeth so I cant upcharge you for more replacement teeth… But that one guy… IM that one guy! Mwahahaha! Gimme yohr money!”
do you think there are only 10 doctors in the world?
Is this sarcasm?
Can’t you tell?
Not to defend the glasses because they’re obviously a problem, but that’s more an individual doctor issue than a problem with the product.
Only perverts buy pervert glasses.
These glasses serve no function other than to deceive if the little light has been shut off.
The only way meta gets away with making these is the little light being on.
Ive seen countless videos of men trying to get it deactivated and so very few of it being refused, so yes they need to be banned or make it a severe crime to deactivate the little light.
In Japan, you can’t disable the shutter sound on phone cameras, because weirdos were sticking them up women’s skirts and silently taking pictures.
We didn’t do that here in America, because perversity is a human right in MAGA America.
We didn’t do that here in America, because perversity is a human right in MAGA America.
To be fair, “MAGA America” is no more responsible for the lack of a law than, e.g. Obama America. I think it’s more likely because Americans are less likely to be in close enough proximity to strangers to have up-skirt photos taken than in Japan and South Korea which do have these laws. That’s not to say we don’t have unscrupulous perverts of course, I remember a man being ejected and banned from a convention I attended because he was walking around with a phone on a selfie stick held low and beneath other people. Bizarre behavior.
(Edit: I looked into it more, and it’s not really clear to me that Japan has any actual laws about this, I found a lot of conflicting info. It seems it may be an Industry self-regulation thing in Japan, and also you didn’t actually say anything about laws in the first place. South Korea does have relevant laws though.)
If you stick your phone up someone’s skirt in America, there’s a, not high, but still significant chance you’ll be shot.
Or, and hear me out, ban these glasses with the exception of some very specific use cases, like for blind people where I see a legit use case.
Fucking mention that moron’s name in the headline. Pussy reporters.
innocemt until proven guilty. The only time they can reveal the person’s name aand face is if theyre convicted of something AND theyre an adult.
Also a bonus if he does get convicted of this and his name and face gets revealed is that other people who recognize his name and face and who have ALSO been his victims can also then come forward and put additional charges on him. And who knows maybe he has so many victims itll be like a liife sentence when everyone finishes dumping more and more charges onto him.
Humans have an a amazing ability to be idiotic so you cant always blame with malice what can be explained by idiocracy…but iif he is malicious? Ya throw the book at him. And more.
Do you know what slander is?
Do you know what habeous corpus is?
Would you like to be arrested and not given the same rights and protections?
Maybe you should get arrested by ICE and see what its like.
Or actual journalism.
If he’s convicted of something, then yes, he gets his name on the papers; otherwise he’s innocent until proven guilty.Nah that would be illegal
They need to be banned, agreed. But that doctor needs to have his medical license fully revoked, permanently.
Check that man’s hhd for sure
Check that man’s hhd for sure
I know this is nitpicky and I’m sorry but… “hdd” not “hhd”. But probably in 2026 its an ssd anyway.
Fair, typo and I’ll fix
…its an ssd anyway.
It depends on how much video he has. HDDs arent cheap but SSDs are expensive and don’t add much in a data archiving scenerio.
Actually, we are probably both wrong and it’s the nand flash on his phone. The kind of tool bag buying meta pervert glasses probably isn’t actually a big techie…
There are two parts to this:
- Ethics, a doctor would be expected to know better,
- Reality, where eventually such things will just stop being 100% percent visible, and thus will happen again and again with impunity.
So, first, doctors shouldn’t do that, second, ban or not, this will be happening all around us, no exit.
Eventually people will just have to get used to the idea of not caring about/sexualizing nudity.
As always, we’ll get downvoted by the “Free the nipple! … No we didn’t actually mean it!” crowd.
Somehow people sharing your point of view in my experience are mostly men and mostly imagine it as lots of handsome young-looking people walking around in half-transparent elastic body suits in some future where everyone is “fixed” to be fit and look nice. And in that kind of sci-fi books somehow women are prevalent among characters, but the leading ones are men.
You get the general idea, yes?
I’m a very social awkward person, but honestly that worldview hints you should get out more. Again, I should follow my own advice, but.
That’s a weird world view I don’t share, but feel free to convince yourself that i do if it makes you feel better.
Walk outside completely naked right now then if its not such a big deal. Let’s see you put your money where your mouth is.
In some countries you can.
Thank you for missing the point.
Bye
that’s what a perv would say
So you just throw privacy out the window with the baby?
Are you american?
Do you know what the fourth amendment is, of course not?
Oh hi there keyboard warrior.
No, none of those, but i wouldn’t expect you to understand reality.
Have a nice day, bye.Someone didn’t take their meds today. Have the day you voted for.
