Users of Meta's AI smart glasses in Europe may be unknowingly sharing intimate video and sensitive financial information with moderators outside of the bloc, according to a report from Sweden's Svenska Dagbladet released last week. Employees in Kenya doing AI "annotation" told the journalists that they've seen people nude, using the toilet and engaging in sexual activity, along with credit card numbers and other sensitive information.

    I assume it's people making (hopefully consensual) POV videos.

    I feel like people using these glasses, instead of a good camera setup WHICH CAN COST LESS, which look more incognito, are likely not doing it consensually...

    Believe it or not but not all sex starts with walking into the bahtroom, closing the door, disrobing, and hopping under the covers.

    And while it likely applies less to the folk with camera glasses: If your vision is poor enough, it is always a tradeoff between them getting in the way and constantly squinting at your partner.

  • Really? I think it's way more natural than wearing a go pro.

    Bedroom is a very reasonable realm for smart glasses if they aren't connected to the internet and are used for local recording.

    The really weird part is wearing them in public and either recording people without their consent or even giving the clear impression of recording people without their consent. Wearing smart glasses in a public place is just an asshole move.

    Why um, why do "smart" glasses have moderators? πŸ€” Am I too far 'offline' to be asking? 😬

    AI training. They have the tag the videos for model consumption.

    So, hypothetical, if I bought these, put a spare laptop in a closed, filled with the worst shock movies from the internet, and set these glasses so that they continuesly watch these videos. Would that be against the EULA?

    You'd just be ruining a minimum wage worker's day and possibly traumatizing them. They typically outsource content annotation/moderation so no one important at Meta would be affected.

    The better course of action is to continue to ridicule anyone you meet wearing these poorly-disguised surveillance instruments and raise awareness among your peers.

    I know that bandwidth isn’t hardly the finite resource that it used to be, but I still can’t get over how amazingly wasteful it is to continuously stream live video halfway around the world just so you can… ask your glasses to describe what’s in front of you?

    Nice to know that when you're standing at the urinal, some schmuck at Meta has seen your hog.

    I don't think I could get off if my partner was wearing these hideous things.

    Or anyone else in the room for that matter.

    Dicking down Riley Reid. Meta style.

    Or being dicked down by Johnny Sins.

    The glasses have potential. But anything with Zuck I don't trust. (I have to be inclusive here)

    Any camera/audio device with a wireless connection in your home is recording and storing your intimate moments.

    Seriously you'd have to be an absolute idiot who somehow got their hands on too much money to think these were a good idea to purchase. The concept is great, but wearing Facebook on your face is bonkers.

    I'm not a fan of the concept at all. I'm not comfortable going out in public and having someone fillm me with their phone camera, so I'm extra uncomfortable with people walking around with cameras affixed to their faces.Β

    Yeah that side of it is a significant issue, I guess I meant the concept of augmented reality glasses that can run an overlay on the world is great. But you're right, it doesn't work without some kind of camera to work out where to orient the overlay and that camera needs to be pretty constant. The issue of recording everyone everywhere aside (and that's big thing to put aside) there are other significant issues like relying on a product supplier to not cover everything in ads or not harvest the video feeds and sell them or use them to train other products. Even if they say they'll never do those things .. the next CEO might not give a damn aboutthat commitment.

    Wearing these glasses in public should be a punchable offense.

    Display on my glasses? That would be neat. Camera and microphone on my glasses? Why the fuck would I want that.

    It’s a devil’s bargain. Except that the benefit is pretty slim next to the obvious cost.

    If I see someone wearing these I'm going to feign bumping them off their face in hopes they break
