I’m not surprised they are spying and I’m not surprised that the type of person to buy these things would be doing disturbing shit
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).
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
Genies out of the bottle now man.
Look forward to an arms race and eventually a cold war. This is our generations nuke.
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.
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.
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.
Oh man! A friend just sent me this earlier today, I completely forgot to sign, but seeing this reminded me! Sharing the love.
FOUR signatures?! Wow, I have never seen so few signatures on a causeworthy well-written petition before 🫨
Well, yeah, neither of us are on social media. I need to text a few circles of friends but 5 signatures means it’ll get more promotion out there.
That petition is cute, but even if such a law was passed, it would be struck down.
So? Even generating awareness about this nonsense is a +1 to society.
Cute comment tho.
I don’t know what’s worse. Meta admitting to spy and nothing happens or the dumb people still buying their crap and using their services.
Wow, what an admission. Peeping META?
Definitely not a Sony Walkman, which was cool and the foam headphones were comfortable to wear. I miss the simple analog days.
Le facebook product is… le spying?
'I have nothing to hide."
/s
We get to return to the verbiage “glasshole” right
What a surprise
Sorry,
Surveilling my Sand Cheeks Cock Vore hentai addiction will continue!
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.
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.
In soviet russia, glasses see you!
Just wait until they have brainwave scanners on the sides
that’s why aldous huxley was a better author
Orwell got it wrong with the wall mounted screens - ‘they’ want us to wear the screens. What was that album title? 'If you accept this,your kids are next., ’ Can’t remember which band
If you tolerate this, your children will be next. Is a Manic Street Preachers song.
They’ll be next and they won’t know any better
Thanks, almost got it right. A long while since I listened.
Orwell also got it wrong not predicting people would not want to turn of their telescreens
Absolutely. IIRC, the option of turning them off was only available to very high ranking members and even then only for relatively short periods of time.
Now we have Boomers with Fox on 24/7.
What was that album title? 'If you accept this,your kids are next., ’
“If You Tolerate This Your Children Will Be Next.” By the Manic Street Preachers.
That’s the one, thanks. Almost got it right!
