    Every single aspect of our lives are being taken over by ethically bankrupt billionaires that will never in a million years face consequences.

    It’s so exhausting that every single day the rich and powerful are infiltrating hobbies like gaming, tech, media, etc, and are actively making them all worse because there is no accountability whatsoever for these rich fucks and the people in positions of power who they bribe

      Indie devs aside, I’ve been getting some of my entertainment from underground creators. The sort that provide paid fangames.

      That also happens to be how I discovered new file hosters that aren’t very monitored by the US government.

    I remember when some students did a PoC of this to showcase the dangers of the glasses, and Meta replied like “why are we to blame, it would have worked the same with any camera”. Well, any other camera doesn’t look like a regular pair of glasses motherfucker.

    Women and girls could be put at risk of harassment, stalking, and abuse if Meta presses ahead with plans to add AI facial recognition features to its smart glasses, leading charities have warned. Experts said the technology, which would allow wearers to identify people and find out information about them using the platform’s AI tool, could pose a “direct and serious” risk to survivors by placing them “in harm’s way” and enabling abusers to locate and track them.

    No! 🫨

    The times, when it is easier to generate forbidden content than to film/create it, have finally come. Our world is so much cooked that some global disaster would be a God’s mercy, not a punishment.

      Everyone is at risk. I once saw screenshot from X of image of little girl with dog with comment asking “Grok, make them naked”. I’m so glad I didn’t see the Grok’s reply. I wonder why some popular people are still on X. Meta smart glasses could probably make the same thing if they were jailbreaked. 10 years ago there was only scam ads of these products in newspapers. Now we live in dystopia where it is true.

        Because their own need for attention is greater than the concern they may have about enabling chid pornography, the dissemination of conspiracy theories or and/or Nazi propaganda

    I’m not sure why these glasses get the hate for this. It’ll be available with any camera hooked up to ai search tools.

    First of all, fuck META and fuck spyware.

    That being said, as someone with a neurological disorder that makes it difficult or impossible for me to recognize people, the benefits of a piece of software that could tell me someone name WHEN THEY HAVE ALREADY GIVEN IT TO ME would be so beneficial.

    A lot of people don’t realize how impossible it is to form attachments to people when I have to meet them a dozen times to remember that they exist.
