Now, some of those concerns are coming from the influx of wearables, namely, smart glasses, and how to go about protecting oneself from being filmed in public. Some joke about singing Disney songs, others use software, and some have even resorted to physical tricks. And the concern is warranted: Meta’s Ray-Ban Meta Glasses, for example, have been coined “perver...Fri, 14 Aug 2026 00:00:00 +0100https://fortune.com/2026/08/14/people-stop-filming-meta-pervert-glasses-privacy/https://fortune.com/2026/08/14/elon-musk-spacex-employees-grok-ai-training/Elon Musk is asking SpaceX employees to think of themselves as more than rocket-builders—he wants them to be “parents” of the company’s AI.
