Zuckerberg can keep his dystopian digital world and shove it. My digital world is free of surveillance and doesn’t require AI anything - let alone glasses.

My digital world is free of surveillance
I dig the sentiment, but here you are posting via ActivityPub which by its very design is not going to be free of surveillance. Corporations are scarfing our comments up to train their shitty LLMs.
You probably also send other people emails and text, after which you no longer control what happens with your message.

Training LLMs is not surveillance. As long as the platform doesn't need to know who I am I'm good.

Zuck says a lot of things. Reprinting his sales pitches as news is a disservice.

The glasses let users listen to music, take photos or videos, and ask Meta AI questions…
so… there is no benefit to wearing them.
i would love a new technology that does something groundbreaking (though only if it has an open source equivalent; im not buying anything from facebook), but this doesnt seem like it.

There’s hardly anything left. Anything developed now is for BUSINESS LINE GO UP ADD MORE FEATURES because its all been done, we have perfected computing 15 years ago. All this is just slop features for the rich to get richer off our data. Every single new tech “innovation” is for surveillance and capitalism/fascism.
Really the iPhone was the last actual innovative tech thing to be “invented”. The only thing left now is better energy production, and maybe health advances.

I agree tech bro wise completely. But there’s all sorts of Engineering strides to come still. Plenty we don’t yet know about.
But computing has been a solved problem for many years on all but the most intense levels. Since then silicon valley has been desperately trying to hang on to their former glory days like a has-been football player in his 50s

Something tells me that Meta's smart glasses won't have a billboard, signage and poster blocking feature....

I did mention one possible use and people freaked out. Imagine an AR overlay where you’re at a gala or business function and you can pull up people’s names or LI profile to better know them when chatting. Or say at a sportsball game where it could give you stats of the people on the field as they’re playing (sports nerds love that sort of shit). There are many uses for AR but I don’t think this meta approach is even close to correct.

This the cognitive disadvantage you’re speaking of?
etherphon@piefed.world 1 day ago
The world is going to be so boring when everyone is walking around with these things, even more oblivious and in their own worlds, with all the answers right there. No need to even speak to anyone anymore except for small talk and who likes that? I'm not going to be a walking surveillance robot which is what I really feel is the end game with this crap, zero privacy.

This is assuming that people get advantage from knowledge, expertise, and competency. In reality advantage comes from conforming to social norms, connections/nepotism/networking, race/class/sexuality, being able bodied and neurotypical.
People aren’t going to do this because social connections give more power than knowledge and people are weirded out by this shit. What might actually happen is that certain employers may force their employees to wear similar technology for some reason.
into_highest_invite@lemmygrad.ml 1 day ago
for some reason
to increase employee productivity, we are now using computer vision (CV) and machine learning (ML) to measure the flow rate of your piss and shit, which will allow us to better synergize with our employees by helping them manage their restroom breaks more efficiently.

“Gargoyles represent the embarrassing side of the Central Intelligence Corporation. Instead of using laptops, they wear their computers on their bodies, broken up into separate modules that hang on the waist, on the back, on the headset. They serve as human surveillance devices, recording everything that happens around them. Nothing looks stupider; these getups are the modern-day equivalent of the slide-rule scabbard or the calculator pouch on the belt, marking the user as belonging to a class that is at once above and far below human society. They are a boon to Hiro because they embody the worst stereotype of the CIC stringer. They draw all of the attention. The payoff for this self-imposed ostracism is that you can be in the Metaverse all the time, and gather intelligence all the time.”
