DuckDuckGo anti-AI glasses offer zero cameras and notifications
While it’s been reported that Apple is debating whether or not the camera in its upcoming glasses product should allow users to shoot photos and videos, DuckDuckGo is going one step further …
DuckDuckGo, the privacy-focused search engine, has unveiled a unique product - a pair of sunglasses called DuckDuckGo Paso Robles. Marketed with the provocative slogan "Normal F***ing Sunglasses," these aren't your average shades. Knockaround, a sunglasses retailer, is collaborating with DuckDuckGo to bring these "anti-surveillance sunglasses" to the market.
The glasses come without cameras, microphones, AI, batteries, or any form of electronics. Instead, they boast a stylish matte black frame adorned with a glossy DuckDuckGo logo, all designed to shield the wearer's eyes from the sun while ensuring zero data transmission to the cloud. The company highlights the benefits of infinite battery life, zero notifications, and a seamless offline mode.
While DuckDuckGo is clearly employing satire for a privacy message, these sunglasses are real and available for purchase.
