Why and who’s buying those?
Yet another surveilance tool marketed as a cool tech gadget.
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.
How is this cool in any way.
The future is now, old man!
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.
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.
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.
cause it’s a mechanical turk
Voyeurism.
I don’t know what’s worse. Meta admitting to spy and nothing happens or the dumb people still buying their crap and using their services.
Le facebook product is… le spying?
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
Just wait until they have brainwave scanners on the sides
In soviet russia, glasses see you!
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.
Well that’s what you get for spying on people. Duh
Meta learning what the meme-CIA agents had been subjected to for years.
Wow, what an admission. Peeping META?
Marky Z is watching you pee and calling it “streaming.”
Chat is this true?
If you’re recording while you pee, yes. If you’re not recording while you pee, probably still yes.
What a surprise
God I wish they’d stop putting cameras in these and just make a nice pair of prescription glasses with good integrated headphones, a heads of display, and some basic touch controls on the stem.
I would genuinely enjoy this for easy listening and maps.
Right? Make a product that a majority of people could find useful and not have any backlash at all…but then again, they’ve never been a product company. They’ve always been a personal information broker.
my dudeOkay now take this and make it not look like tacti-cool bullshit that would come with a glock
😂 girl, I’m not a cop!
Even integrated headphones would do.
Zach Freedman has entered the chatWhere did you get this picture of me 😅😅😅

Except for the first part of that quote. /s
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.
Been had that
These glasses and the people who wear them are disturbing.
