    The version of this technology that I would love to see is for each individual to have a database of people they’ve met before, so if you meet them again, your smart glasses can prompt you with their name and notes about them.

    Basically Google allows you to do this in a limited form with Google Photos, minus the ability to do live recognition

      I would sign up for this if it’s opt-in and either decentralized or local storage-based. Otherwise I hope the fuckers who would ruin this idea for greed crash and burn.
