OT: LITF: Zuckerberg's creepy glasses.

Meta, the company that runs Facebook, recently brought a pair
of Augmented Reality Glasses. They have cameras, and can display
data to the wearer. I haven't tried them, but I have worn the
Apple equivalent, and those were remarkable.
Zuck's glasses look normal enough that you can wear them on the
street without attracting undue attention; you look like an
Elvis Costello cosplay.
Here, some Harvard students have hooked it up with AI facial
recognition, and public data sources. They can look at a
stranger on the street, identify them, and get sent personal
information (name, phone, address, etc) in real time.
At the moment, the data is sent back to a phone app, but it
could easily be moved to the glasses HUD display.
ObSF: This is a technology that we've seen in a plethora
of cyberpunky novels, such as 'Rainbows End' and 'Rule 34'.
Its remarkable to see it appearing in reality.
As a person who is 'face blind' (I have a great deal of
difficulty attaching names to even moderately familiar
faces), this sounds great, but it also is majorly disturbing.
