Story about low priced Anko branded competitor to Meta smart glasses. The story author calls out that despite Meta’s attempts to prevent recording if the LED is covered, it is easy to get around the block. I think it’s good for mainstream press to say it, so more ppl realize. They also call out that human moderators at Meta review their smart glasses footage. Inc videos of people having sex or using the toilet.
IDK if public backlash will nix the market for these, or if opposition will dry up and in 10 more years they will be mainstream tech like smartphones are today. I could see it going either way TBH.
It scares me that one of those timelines leads to a hellscape worse than the one we already have.
I am recorded on no less than 6 cameras* on my commute home. It is likely the only part of my commute not completely filmed is the 100 or so yards from my subway stop to front door.
We have had ubiquitous surveillance for decades now. I refuse to believe meta glasses is going to be the straw that breaks the camels back.
*actual number is far higher.
The plan here is to feed those videos to AI training sets. The Internet has been scraped, now they want to scrape reality.
Things like Pokemon Go has already been doing that
Yes. Might depend on the région. For instance an average London commute is recorded by 300 CCTV.
The important word is closed circuit. Deleted every 31 days, by law.
Meta video is not deleted.
