"Was trained with the help of real professional photographers". Did
everyone get that? *Real* pros, not fake pros. This sounds like a late
night TV scam.

"Google then trained the AI on things like ... recognizing social

Aha! So you won't get beat up after all...

The level of arrogance among these tech people is getting almost scary.

People might end up using it as one of those cheap car driving cameras.

You have the right to take photographs in public but not to put up
surveillance cams, I'd say that Google glass and clips are in that
category since you can't see when they are in operation. Big brother
sees you, and how do you know if these devices are off, really?

The first thing I did with my new laptop was to put silver ducting
tape over the camera and microphone. THEN I turned it on.

That seems to be a tad paranoid. Doing that will preclude using
communications apps such as Skype, or FaceTime (not Facebook). You are better
off actually understanding your computer than gunging up your laptop with
duct tape.

Do you even know where the microphones are located in your laptop?

If you want to disable your mics, consider doing that via your system
preferences, and there are less damaging ways to obscure the camera, and
still have it available when needed.

If he's using Windows, he shouldn't have to do anything. All that
stuff will stop working all by itself.
