    Strengthened +3

    Meta is testing always-on 'super sensing' glasses that continuously sample audio and images and upload extracted metadata so an assistant can recall a wearer's day. A frontier hardware maker prototyping continuous personal-memory capture is precisely the always-on recall feature the thesis anticipates.

    Strengthened +5

    Meta is testing AI glasses that continuously record and let a wearer query their day (where they left keys, whom they met), turning always-on capture into a searchable personal memory, per the world desk — a direct instance of the always-on wearable memory feature and its attendant privacy conflict.
