Nilay Patel:增强现实眼镜的隐私代价过高,或许不应继续推进
阅读原文· simonwillison.netThe Verge 的 Nilay Patel 在播客中直言,制造增强现实眼镜必须在眼睛旁放置持续录像的摄像头,且当前没有足够强大且省电的芯片能塞进眼镜腿进行实时处理,数据必须发送至云端。这意味着要打造业界公认的下一代产品,就必须侵犯用户隐私。Patel 认为,该产品所需的社会层面权衡代价过高,或许应该停止推进。

The reality is to make augmented reality glasses, you need to put a camera next to your eyes that is continuously recording everything you see and processing that to put information over it.
There is not another way around it. And there's certainly not a chip that can fit in the stem of a glasses that is both powerful enough and power miserly enough to do that in real time.
You have to send that data to a cloud. You gotta do it. [...] Or you can build something the size of a Vision Pro with a battery pack that lives somewhere else. Those are the current choices in this world.
And it means if you want to build the product that everyone thinks is the next thing, you are going to have to invade people's privacy.
And maybe you shouldn't. Like, there's an incredible argument for, nope, you shouldn't do that. Nope, the trade-offs required to make this product are so high at a societal level that we should stop it.
