Dear Meta Smart Glasses Wearers: You're Being Watched, Too

Comments

  I thought smart glasses could be kind of neat, but no way in hell would I get a pair from Meta.

    A set of FOSS smart glasses powered entirely by local hardware and software that you own and control? That would be kind of neat.

    Anything connected to and under the control of a big corporation, though … miss me with that shit.

      Call me conservative but I think that would still suck. A society where everyone has a camera on their nose pointing at you sounds absolutely dreadful.

    Just gotta wait for people to write custom firmware for these things, it’s cool hardware but yeah I’m not going to run a Facebook OS on my own hardware

    I wish I can look back at my entire day and see what I did. (It will mostly just be computer, kitchen and bathroom only, but still a cool idea)

      I usually use my memory when I want to look back on my entire day and know what I did.

      en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Entire_History_of_You

      You’ll maybe reevaluate that position after watching this episode of Black Mirror.

      Endlessly torturing yourself over minute details throughout each day doesn’t sound fun or healthy to me.

  How about we ban hidden cameras in public?

  source

  • ExcessShiv@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    That would hit undercover and investigating journalism hard

    • stoy@lemmy.zip ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      True, damnit.

    Careful with this. Some French journalists (Cash Investigation) got some nice sequences by using hidden cameras, and I guess from the ads that the camera is not hidden, just tiny… I hate tese glasses with guts as they showed in one ad how people can hate it and thought let’s fucking send it

  This can’t possibly be a surprise to people?

  • Trilogy3452@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    I think some don’t think of the ramifications. Some willingly let Google follow them around and save their location

  Who watches the watchers?

  Meta apparently

  contracted workers at a Kenya-based company called Sama. These workers are data annotators who are tasked with reviewing footage captured from the camera on the glasses and labeling it to help AI systems get better at identifying what they see

  Sama is the same company that classified outputs and training material for openai.

  I bought a pair exclusively for masturbation as the thought of those facebook employees having to watch is so hot.

  What’s with the weird comma placement in the, title?

  I know its not on you OP

  source

  • Soup@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    You mean the “, too”? That’s how it’s supposed to be written. People often don’t do it that way, but that’s how it’s correctly used, and few have accused us anglophones, as a whole, of really understanding how to use our own damn language. It’s the same with “, but”, also, and “, also”, also.

    source

    • LincolnsDogFido@lemmy.zip ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      I’m also an anglophone, but this seems not quite right to me. There’s no real need to insert a comma in that sentence, as there’s no real need to pause for clarity or pacing.

  An ant doesn’t care that you’re watching it until you try to step on it. Why do you think that these bug people would care until it’s too late?

• GreenKnight23@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

  they don’t care, and that’s the point.

  sensitive and personal footage captured by the devices—including people going to the bathroom, getting dressed, and having sex—is being reviewed

  I wanna know… Or maybe I don’t… Who is it that sees someone wear these glasses and decides that they wanna f— them WITH THE GLASSES ON.

  Don’t get me wrong, I wear (normal) glasses and I like the way I look, but how can THESE glasses be anything but a major turn off?

  “Nah it’s fine, big companies would never do such a thing. Besides they’re beholden to the governments.”

  Right.

  Without the Meta layer (which you can just not install), the basic smart RayBans are actually pretty nice. The audio is pretty good and it works with any other assistant you may have configured.
