Frankly humanity does not need this invention one bit.
It may have legitmately sounded interesting and futuristic to some people a decade ago, but with the way tech companies are trending this type of tech will become an absolute surveillance and privacy nightmare. I mean it aleady is really, but it will get so so much worse.
Regulate and legislate these into oblivion. At the very least tech companies need to be punished financially for trying to speed run dystopia but I fear we’re already sliding down that slope and it’s too late
Frankly humanity does not need this invention one bit.
Yah. Unfortunately, we’ve got it though. :( :( :(
People I know, some friends, they are completely oblivious to how much it will surveillance them. Or how much Meta already does, in other ways. “I don’t care, I’m not doing anything wrong”.
Constant surveillance erodes a society. It erodes democracy.
Half Life 2:
C1: This is how it always starts. First a building, then the whole block.
C2: They have no reason to come to our place.
C1: Don’t worry, they’ll find one.
Get a webcam and place it prominently in their house, when askes tell them they have nothing to hide so youd like to watch. Bonus points for putting in the bedroom or bathroom.
Genies out of the bottle now man.
Look forward to an arms race and eventually a cold war. This is our generations nuke.
Would’ve been great tech if they didn’t place fucking cameras into it
WHY ARE THEY LOOKING?
They need someone to review and tag the recorded footage to train AI models.
No moment is private when wearing these glasses. I’m glad they haven’t caught on where I live.
Read the article??
“You understand that it is someone’s private life you are looking at, but at the same time you are just expected to carry out the work,” the employee said. “You are not supposed to question it. If you start asking questions, you are gone.”
It was a rhetorical question, and directed at Facebook as a collective.
cause it’s a mechanical turk
Voyeurism.
Yet another surveilance tool marketed as a cool tech gadget.
I remember when cool tech gadgets were cool and not undisguised spy tools.
It’s almost absurd at this point, but i used to be really into gadgets and tech and shit. Now everything i see is like: that’s a spy tool. That’s showing ads. That is an ad. That is just a lie.
Same. At most I got 15 years left and I doubt I will ever see this changing in my lifetime.
How is this cool in any way.
The future is now, old man!
They wouldn’t! Not a penis camera right? Thry wouldn’t!
Oh they would!
And then make it mandatory for everyone with a penis.
For child protection, you know.Just noticed Child Protection.
The absolute tone-deafness of not seeing that meta seeing the things is the disturbing part.
It really doesn’t matter if facial recognition is enabled or not today, it can always be done later on. This is a huge invasion of privacy.
I don’t think even George Orwell could have predicted that one day they’d put the cameras inside glasses, it would be common knowledge that they’re in there and the they’re spying on you and everyone you look at, and people would still voluntarily buy them with their own money and wear them around.
that’s why aldous huxley was a better author
Just wait until they have brainwave scanners on the sides
In soviet russia, glasses see you!
So you’re telling me that the creepy motherfuckers who would wear something like this around in public do creepy things?
Never would have guessed that. 🤔
Also why is Meta watching that footage?
I’m pretty sure they monitor everything on all of their platforms, I don’t know if they have to for legal reasons or just choose to.
Yeah, sorry I just read the article and found the answer, they tag the videos to train their AI.
Marky Z is watching you pee and calling it “streaming.”
Chat is this true?
If you’re recording while you pee, yes. If you’re not recording while you pee, probably still yes.
How long until Meta starts blackmailing people with this shit?
Epstein 2.0
For real, The real question here is why does anyone at Meta have access to users data like that. This is rhetorical.
Le facebook product is… le spying?
Here’s the original article: https://www.svd.se/a/K8nrV4/metas-ai-smart-glasses-and-data-privacy-concerns-workers-say-we-see-everything
Underrated comment (the article is also already in English).
Well that’s what you get for spying on people. Duh
Meta learning what the meme-CIA agents had been subjected to for years.
God I wish they’d stop putting cameras in these and just make a nice pair of prescription glasses with good integrated headphones, a heads of display, and some basic touch controls on the stem.
I would genuinely enjoy this for easy listening and maps.
Right? Make a product that a majority of people could find useful and not have any backlash at all…but then again, they’ve never been a product company. They’ve always been a personal information broker.
my dudeOkay now take this and make it not look like tacti-cool bullshit that would come with a glock
😂 girl, I’m not a cop!
Even integrated headphones would do.
Zach Freedman has entered the chatWhere did you get this picture of me 😅😅😅
Who could have guessed…
These glasses and the people who wear them are disturbing.
'I have nothing to hide."

Except for the first part of that quote. /s
