There are many possibilities to be had smart glasses which have not been fully explored, and several have to do with their use of computer vision. Smart glasses like Ray-Ban Meta AI glassesfor example, can use their onboard cameras to digest your surroundings, opening up computing possibilities, such as the ability to translate things around you—a food menu in another language, perhaps—or tell you what brand of shoes someone is wearing.

Clearly, some of us were impatient to push the capabilities further, however, resulting in…

now my clawdbot lives in my ray-ban meta glasses so i can just buy whatever i’m looking at pic.twitter.com/gWrijyTRhE

In this demonstration, developer Xiaoan (Sean) Liuuses a combination of Gemini Live and the open-source AI agent OpenClaw to tap cameras on Ray-Ban Meta AI glasses. With those tools—powered by a recently expanded developer API for Meta’s smart glasses—Liu’s hack can use computer vision to recognize a Monster Energy drink and automatically add it to an Amazon shopping cart. Honestly, it’s pretty impressive. I don’t think anyone does all their shopping this way, but it can be easy ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​gates. Not necessary, but convenient!

Liu outlines the process of GitHubmeans you can set it for yourself, but before you do that, I recommend that you do not do that. As cool as this capability is, there are still many problems with the idea of ​​handing over the keys to your entire life to an AI agent, especially one that isn’t precisely coded into air security.

If you want a more technical breakdown why want tools OpenClaw (formerly Clawdbot) a big privacy risk, you can read this Medium post from author Vishal Rajput, but the bottom line is that you shouldn’t trust OpenClaw with access to some of your most sensitive personal data. As Rajput, a security firm, says, Palo Alto Networkssays OpenClaw contains a “lethal trifecta” of security risks.

Not only can OpenClaw gain access to extremely sensitive data such as your device’s root files, passwords, browser history, and cookies, as well as “all files and folders on your system,” but the agent also keeps a memory of all the data it sees and can theoretically send it anywhere. That’s not even counting the fact that OpenClaw can be compromised to deploy malicious code on any device it’s given access to.

Shall I continue? I mean, I’m not a security researcher, but that doesn’t sound good to me. In other words, if you play OpenClaw, you should be okay with taking a big risk in terms of personal data. Is that worth it to just buy an energy drink with your smart glasses is your call, but I’m leaning on the side of “no thanks.”

If nothing else, Liu’s demonstration is an interesting example of what AI-powered smart glasses can do for us if they are made to be safe and given the right security treatment. Additionally, this demo raises many questions about AI agents. Of course, they are obviously useful if they work properly, but how much of our lives are we willing to hand over to a device that feels like it was invented yesterday? If I had to guess, there’s a reason why other AI agents haven’t yet asked for permission at every door in our digital lives. Will that day come? Maybe.

If this Ray-Ban hack is any indication, the more cavalier among us are ready to give it a try.
