Meta’s AI smart glasses and data privacy concerns

[dead]

I really want to make a fake PSA that suggests anyone wearing the Meta glasses is probably a pervert and should be proactively avoided/shunned.

This product cannot be allowed to exist in the type of world I want to live in.

The power structure wants these to succeed in the market for so many horrific reasons and it will require some serious societal muscle to reject them.

Of course, why wouldn't they? They do not work without a meta account. /s

Is anyone at meta going to be bald accountable?

An absolute privacy nightmare especially in places like Switzerland or Germany where recording people (subject focus) even in public is not permitted without consent but you have tourists now showing up everywhere wearing these.

The LED is barely visible during the day and some have modified their glasses to disable/remove it.

There are no privacy concerns because there IS no privacy. /s

i mean theres kind of no way around it. how else are you gonna get the training data you need? the only way to bootstrap ai is to tag the data with bio-ai first (humans).

different companies 'launder' it differently: with voice, it was done by "accidental" voice assistant activations. i guess with glasses, maybe there will be less window dressing this time. after all, it is clearly pitched to see what you see, at all times of the day.

similar controversy happened with the various roomba products, although arguably that was a combination of data harvesting + lazy engineering.

TLDR the recorded media isn’t end-to-end encrypted and they aren’t selling it but instead using it to train their own systems. What is new here?

I think they're dumb but my wife loves them. The video quality is surprisingly good.

Hilarious that a post about collecting data is on a site that collects data
