The same firm that helped train ChatGPT is now at the center of Meta’s smart glasses privacy scandal
The glasses include an AI assistant that requires recording audio and video, some of which becomes AI training data. Human contractors scan and label material that AI struggles with.
Meta states that its terms of service explain these details, and the glasses require explicit user permission to engage AI mode. Nonetheless, Sama employees reported that the glasses recorded banking information, private conversations, people naked in bathrooms, and intimate encounters.
It’s not their fault so that’s kinda sad.
Now some other contractors in some other country are gonna look at it obviously. Not solving anything.
The problem I see is that there’s more and more support for mass surveillance. Many countries in the EU are totally ok with chatcontrol, some countries now want to forbid anonymous social media etc. It’s insane.
People fuck with their expensive sunglasses on?
don’t mash genitals if you can see the sky you’ll end up on Google maps satellite/3D flyover/street view maybe
unless you’re into that. I’m not kink shaming
still, those things are pricey, no?
you will have to lie to the repair shop on how you broke your Facebook sunglasses
on the surveillance: I already assumed they were doing that
isn’t breaching everyone’s privacy their whole business model?
