About this episode

The episode discusses the implications of Meta's smart glasses on privacy and surveillance, alongside updates from the gaming world.

This week: the agony of saying "alright mate?" to a semi-stranger mid-walk, then straight into Star Citizen's endless funding vs. its glitchy, still-unfinished reality (courtesy of a stream that fell apart on air). Gamescom brings news of a Witcher 3 remaster, a new Worms game, and - bizarrely - a Thomas & Friends title. Then we get into it: Meta's smart glasses hackable recording indicator, the privacy line between being knowingly filmed and secretly filmed, and why they're basically a "dashcam for humans." That leads into America's Flock camera network and its far more invasive surveillance reach. We close on GTA 6's new teaser and the leaker behind the viral clips, who might be gearing up to drop the PC build!
