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.

    Reading this headline all I can think is “Are y’all really surprised?”

      Am I too far ‘offline’ to be asking?

      This is surveillance phobic… and I’m down for it

      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.

          you’re punishing those poor guys that are doing the job for $10/month. zucc doesn’t care at all as they are already giving ptsd to thousands of moderators tasked of watching the reported gore videos

    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?

    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)

      All Johnny Sins needs is a GoPro and a suction cup.

        I’ve already seen plenty of POV porn where the guy has two free hands, so I’m sure it’s a gopro and head strap. Which I’m sure looks ridiculously goofy for anyone else in the room.

    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.

      I always make sure to tell my audience to remove any smart glasses. It’s just creepy doing it in front of them otherwise.

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