Meta could build a set of glasses that let’s me view Pluto, washes the dishes, and gives me a loving blowjob, and I wouldn’t let them get within 10m of me.
Meta smart glasses can be used to dox anyone in seconds, study finds

The company behind Threads, which we’ve allowed to now infest the fediverse. Cheers y’all.

I have not noticed any threads content in Lemmy.

Why do you need the glasses, can't you take the picture with your phone?
SlopppyEngineer@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Because people get suspicious when somebody is taking pictures of every stranger they come across, but people looking at passersby while wearing glasses is normal.
realharo@lemm.ee 7 months ago
Just pretend to be a travel YouTuber, or a live streamer.
Jesusaurus@lemmy.world 7 months ago
The glasses are just less obvious than me pointing my phone at you and snapping a picture
rasakaf679@lemmy.ml 7 months ago
It isn’t as obvious as shoving phone infront to take photos, whereas glasses are more incognito

It’s wild to me that this hasn’t become the news of the day.
If I were RayBan I would jump ship right now before brand image is tanked. Why would you trust anyone wearing RayBans after this?
realharo@lemm.ee 7 months ago
You can do this with any camera, including the one in all the phones out there. The only thing specific to the glasses is that it’s more convenient and inconspicuous to be wearing it on your face.

First of all bullshit. Try me. A modicum of effort towards privacy would protect you from this. Seems like a healthy way to bring attention to the bigger issue at play here.
Also - awesome. I have terrible propsagnosia. It’s crippling socially and especially for me in the workplace and and my scientific career (there’s a decent amount of networking and ass kissing in science, and if you can’t keep track of people at all it’s tough to play along). I’d love something like this - congrats to the devs.

How much cum is in a modicum?
Deceptichum@quokk.au 7 months ago
Ah modist amount.

Unfortunately this does not count.
It does not matter if they have 99% or 99.99% of the sheepfolk in their pocket. It would not even matter if it were only 90%. It is still everybody. They got everybody. They won.
LainTrain@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 months ago
Who even cares anymore. The sheepfolk don’t. They cheered on the death of our free and open internet. It’s everyone for themselves now.

You can have tools for recognition and not identification. Identification likely includes information that someone did not intend to share with you.
AwesomeLowlander@sh.itjust.works 7 months ago
I have semi face-blindness, it takes several meetings before I can start recognising a person’s face. Something like this would actually be a lifesaver for me, just so I can know who I’m talking to and whether I’ve met them before.
sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 7 months ago
I don’t have many issues, but my memory can sometimes suck, so I would also like something like this.
But not from Meta. I need to be 100% in control of the data before I’d ever feel comfortable wearing them in public.
Soup@lemmy.cafe 7 months ago
Now just imagine AI being given this type of access.
JoeKrogan@lemmy.world 7 months ago
I imagine they have this stuff internally classifying photos and faces.

This is not a technology issue. Never reveal you real name, address and phone number on the internet.
CrimeDad@lemmy.crimedad.work 7 months ago
Never post your resume or sign up for LinkedIn in the course of a job search? Never use a dating site? Never buy a domain? Never pay property taxes? Never go to court? I see your point, but never revealing your info online isn’t realistic or ever a choice for most people.
parpol@programming.dev 7 months ago
I don’t know about buying domains, court or taxes. Those should be private and they probably are in my country.
But LinkedIn and dating sites are definitely a scam.
I am a huge privacy fanatic, so it is my goal that no one should ever be required to upload pictures of themselves on the internet.
yournamehere@lemm.ee 7 months ago
porn has driven every digital invention from vhs to web. metas stupid glasses will be sold out when you get a realtime nude-filter. coz then everyone would also accept ads in the fiel of view.

Ew…

Clickbait warning. This has nothing to do with the Meta smart glasses.
echodot@feddit.uk 7 months ago
How does that automatically dox people? I have a load of photos of people who I got in the background. I don’t magically know their names.
hendrik@palaver.p3x.de 7 months ago
they do some reverse image search on the internet and find your facebook profile or similar things.
Dorkyd68@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Op has over 3800 posts in under a year. Yikes. Either bot or one smelly keyboard warrior
sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 7 months ago
Eh, they probably just have a feed and post a bunch all at once. I’ve seen other posters do something similar. Creating 10-15 lemmy posts/day isn’t particularly hard if you’re literally just copy/pasting links from an RSS feed.
PrivacyDingus@lemmy.world 7 months ago
it is annoying when they do that; i would, however, venture that these glasses probably give people a way of doing things more surreptitiously, even though this article doesn’t explore that
hendrik@palaver.p3x.de 7 months ago
Yeah, they mention that it's unsuspicious glasses by the look. We'll have to see what this comes to... When google introduced their Google glasses, people got yelled at on the streets, at least as far as I remember.
Siegfried@lemmy.world 7 months ago
So exactly like browsing facebook in the early days?
