In a dazzling feat of prioritizing surveillance over privacy, Meta, that cheerful data hoover formerly known as Facebook, is developing 'super sensing' smart glasses that snap photos 'every few seconds' and eavesdrop continuously. According to the Financial Times, these futuristic peepers won't even let you access your own footage; instead, they'll serve you cryptic metadata like a passive-aggressive librarian summing up your chaotic day. The prototype glasses, captured in a squint-worthy 2025 photo featuring The Verge's Victoria Song, turn your life into a mystery novel only Meta AI can read. So next time you forget your anniversary, rest assured Meta’s got the awkward reminders stored—just not for your eyes.
