Wow, what an admission. Peeping META?
Le facebook product is… le spying?
Yet another surveilance tool marketed as a cool tech gadget.
I remember when cool tech gadgets were cool and not undisguised spy tools.
How is this cool in any way.
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.
that’s why aldous huxley was a better author
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
Would’ve been great tech if they didn’t place fucking cameras into it
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. 🤔
WHY ARE THEY LOOKING?
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
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.
Well that’s what you get for spying on people. Duh
Meta learning what the meme-CIA agents had been subjected to for years.
What a surprise
The absolute tone-deafness of not seeing that meta seeing the things is the disturbing part.
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.
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
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.
Marky Z is watching you pee and calling it “streaming.”
We get to return to the verbiage “glasshole” right
Ahh yes, another reason mark zuckerberg needs to get luigi’d
