Who watches the watchers?
Meta apparently
contracted workers at a Kenya-based company called Sama. These workers are data annotators who are tasked with reviewing footage captured from the camera on the glasses and labeling it to help AI systems get better at identifying what they see
Sama is the same company that classified outputs and training material for openai.
I’m shocked!
Hey they’re not sposedta do that
I bought a pair exclusively for masturbation as the thought of those facebook employees having to watch is so hot.
An ant doesn’t care that you’re watching it until you try to step on it. Why do you think that these bug people would care until it’s too late?
What’s with the weird comma placement in the, title?
I know its not you, OP
You mean the “, too”? That’s how it’s supposed to be written. People often don’t do it that way, but that’s how it’s correctly used, and few have accused us anglophones, as a whole, of really understanding how to use our own damn language. It’s the same with “, but”, also, and “, also”, also.

I’m also an anglophone, but this seems not quite right to me. There’s no real need to insert a comma in that sentence, as there’s no real need to pause for clarity or pacing.
It’s not about need exactly, it’s about a writing convention. Also, we do have these pauses in our speech/that’s where we would insert those pauses naturally, they’re just often very subtle.
A lot of language, no matter what you speak, has a lot of these subtleties that are so engrained as to be almost unnoticeable. I’m at a pretty high intermediate level French and, because of the closeness with English, I’m actually learning quite a lot about why English is the way it is, too.
I thought smart glasses could be kind of neat, but no way in hell would I get a pair from Meta.
Just gotta wait for people to write custom firmware for these things, it’s cool hardware but yeah I’m not going to run a Facebook OS on my own hardware
I won’t even use my 3d headset that they bought from oculus. it just sits there.
SteamFrame my beloved
We literally have no idea when that’s coming out…
I wish I can look back at my entire day and see what I did. (It will mostly just be computer, kitchen and bathroom only, but still a cool idea)I changed my mind

You’ll maybe reevaluate that position after watching this episode of Black Mirror.
Endlessly torturing yourself over minute details throughout each day doesn’t sound fun or healthy to me.
Well… Fuck
I’m glad I have the day off tomorrow cause now I need to process some stuff…
I’ve heard good things about the show, but that was my first episode I watched. Are they all this good?
For the first few seasons, yeah!
When Netflix bought the rights there was a shift to Americanisation of everything and it started to go downhill but there’s still some decent episodes from that period as well. But the best episodes are the oldest ones.
Who needs to video their day to torture thenselves with minute details throughout each day, your brain can pull that info up any time it is inconvenient to you and run through it for hours
I usually use my memory when I want to look back on my entire day and know what I did.
How about we ban hidden cameras in public?
That would hit undercover and investigating journalism hard
True, damnit.
This can’t possibly be a surprise to people?
I think some don’t think of the ramifications. Some willingly let Google follow them around and save their location
Colour ME shocked
they don’t care, and that’s the point.
Without the Meta layer (which you can just not install), the basic smart RayBans are actually pretty nice. The audio is pretty good and it works with any other assistant you may have configured. I wish they had a version without the camera.
