To be fair, this is not that different from the always-on, always-listening phones in everyone’s hands now.

It’s drastically different, wtf are you on about

In what way?
Are we assuming that phones aren’t listening all the time and glasses are?
Or that you can theoretically turn off always listening on phones but not on glasses?
Or that the phones are Apple / Google / Samsung, etc, but the glasses are Meta, so that’s different?
Or just that phones are already out of the barn, and one listening device per person is bad enough, but glasses we will have a chance to regulate with common sense data privacy laws?

Other folks covered it better than I can

Where? Are you talking about the camera version or the mic-only version?
One other argument i can think of is that with phones, it is suspected that they are passing what they listen to up to cloud servers for ads and stuff, but hard to confirm.
With the glasses they will definitely be sending data from microphone to Meta’s servers.
