      What did people that bought Meta glasses think they are actually for?

      Did people simply forget Meta’s privacy issues?

      So a complete non-rhetorical question: Why wouldn’t they record everything? Why would they NOT record everything? Seriously. It’s Marky Boy.
      Secondly – that means it’s highly likely they’ve been doing the same with the Quest headsets, even though they started categorically, they did not do this. Bet they did.. Why?..

      ..Because it’s Marky Boy, that’s right!

      No shit. You put cameras in glasses then say “it only records when you tell it to” meanwhile Siri and Alexa have been listening to everything for years. Now we’re surprised when the glasses are watching.

      Haha. I just bought the rayban glasses the other day and I love them. Good to know they will be going in a drawer when not in use, why does tech and all of its billionaires suck so bad. I hate this timeline

      As if it needed to be said but…not just spying on the person wearing them.

      “US citizens sued Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta over alarming privacy concerns”

      aaaaand the guy is still rolling!

      It should be “Meta sees everything you see…”

      “Disturbing things” makes Meta users look bad…. When in fact the real problem is that Meta saw anything at all.

      BUT WeVe HAd caMeRas In PockEts aNd SECuriTy CaMs… said all the people on Reddit last week. Its wild to see sooo many stand defending these glasses because cell cameras and security cams. There are laws about using cameras for recording without consent, also laws about deceptively using spy cams to record not to mention audio laws. This is even before Meta just saving the shit.

      Figured I’d read through to see if there’s anything actually worth writing an article about. I dipped the second I saw they felt the need to censor the word “nudity.” Absolute clown world.

      Of course the answer should have been “absolutely nothing”, because that data should either stay local or be encrypted and inaccessible by Meta employees.

      You know, what bothered me the most reading this was that this so called news article felt the need to sensor nudity to n*dity..seriously? What the actual fuck is wrong with this timeline .

      If people were stupid enough not to read the ToS on the glasses and to not expect meta of all companies to spy on them, that’s on them. But, fuck you article author .

      THIS is pretty much the ONLY way the LLMs are gonna grow. Of course they are. They will NEVER not lie, cheat …etc.

    23. Vi1eOne on

      I mean I’m not willing to give Meta any benefit of doubt….but “boredpanda.com?” C’mon 

    24. Chaoticallyorganized on

      How are we expected to take this article seriously when words like “naked” and “sex” are censored? Smh.

      A company owned and controlled by one of the world’s greatest dirtbags, and its users expect a non-exploitative result. Just wow.

    26. id-driven-fool on

      I remember back in the day when people used to put tape over their webcam because they didn’t wanna be unknowingly recorded.

      >Through Users’ Smart Glasses

      Is not [what the article said](https://www.svd.se/a/K8nrV4/metas-ai-smart-glasses-and-data-privacy-concerns-workers-say-we-see-everything). It said that the people doing AI data annotation had seen sensitive material in video that people recorded and uploaded. Some of that, they speculate may have been accidental recordings, others that the people doing the recording didn’t realize it wasn’t staying local, but nothing in the article alleges that the glasses are always recording, that anyone has the ability to see through them, or that anyone can access or control them remotely, which all the reporting-on-reporting-on-reporting keeps implying.

      Sure, bring out the pitchforks and torches for the latest iteration of the Glassholes, but stop getting whipped up by this game of telephone, with each iteration becoming shittier as it’s written and reinterpreted by someone who didn’t bother to look at the original, or cares more about ragebait than accuracy.

      Anyone using these glasses obviously doesn’t give a damn about their privacy.

      So if their accounts get hacked or bank savings robbed it’s their fault.

      So when you ask it what you see it takes a photo and that photo may be viewed by a person to verify the information is correct?
