Wow, what an admission. Peeping META?
Le facebook product is… le spying?
What a surprise
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!
that’s why aldous huxley was a better author
Just wait until they have brainwave scanners on the sides
Yet another surveilance tool marketed as a cool tech gadget.
How is this cool in any way.
The future is now, old man!
I remember when cool tech gadgets were cool and not undisguised spy tools.
It’s almost absurd at this point, but i used to be really into gadgets and tech and shit. Now everything i see is like: that’s a spy tool. That’s showing ads. That is an ad. That is just a lie.
Same. At most I got 15 years left and I doubt I will ever see this changing in my lifetime.
They wouldn’t! Not a penis camera right? Thry wouldn’t!
Oh they would!
And then make it mandatory for everyone with a penis.
For child protection, you know.Just noticed Child Protection.
Well that’s what you get for spying on people. Duh
Meta learning what the meme-CIA agents had been subjected to for years.
Definitely not a Sony Walkman, which was cool and the foam headphones were comfortable to wear. I miss the simple analog days.
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.
Kathryn Bigelow’s most under-rated film is almost upon us…just 30 years later than we thought.
Also…if you haven’t seen that movie…go watch it. It’s low-key one of her best.
I know this is off-topic, but Kathryn Bigelow is just an under-rated director in general I think. So many bangers. Also from a quick search I just found out she had a new movie out last year that stars Idris Elba, Rebecca Ferguson and Jared Harris? Somehow I missed that entirely.
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.
Would’ve been great tech if they didn’t place fucking cameras into it
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.
WHY ARE THEY LOOKING?
being sent to offshore contractors for data labeling, a widely-used preprocessing step in training new AI models in which human contractors are asked to review and annotate footage.
From another article I read about this, seems like it involves a lot of drawing precise boxes around people and objects, stuff like that. Terminators gotta learn their sex moves from somewhere.
In a certain nihilistic dreadful sense it’s hilarious how these AI advancements are built on the backs of exploitative manual labor. On the surface the AI models are so utterly impressive at how “smart” and advanced the tech appears to be, but the truth of it is just slave labor building a catalog of labeled data sourced from mass surveillance. The aliens should really intervene soon, before we build something that can threaten them…
Oof imaging being employed to do captchas all day.
I actually did data labeling work on amazon mturk for a while, it does kind of suck, the main saving grace was I could largely do it on my own schedule but I assume these people don’t really get that benefit.
Beats starvation, tho :/
Read the article??
“You understand that it is someone’s private life you are looking at, but at the same time you are just expected to carry out the work,” the employee said. “You are not supposed to question it. If you start asking questions, you are gone.”
It was a rhetorical question, and directed at Facebook as a collective.
They need someone to review and tag the recorded footage to train AI models.
No moment is private when wearing these glasses. I’m glad they haven’t caught on where I live.
cause it’s a mechanical turk
Voyeurism.
Sorry,
Surveilling my Sand Cheeks Cock Vore hentai addiction will continue!
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.
Thanks, almost got it right. A long while since I listened.
They’ll be next and they won’t know any better
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!
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.
The absolute tone-deafness of not seeing that meta seeing the things is the disturbing part.
'I have nothing to hide."

Except for the first part of that quote. /s
