DuckDuckGo has released a pair of non-AI sunglasses, humorously dubbed 'anti pervert glasses,' as a direct jab at Meta's AI-powered smart glasses. These new sunglasses contain no electronics, cameras, or AI, emphasizing privacy and a stark contrast to the privacy concerns surrounding Meta's product.
