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.

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?

lol what kind of weird nerd is wearing smart glasses while having sex lmao

imagine you're over at some dudes house, about to get dicked down, and he comes out with nothing but these big fat blinking glasses on

I assume it's people making (hopefully consensual) POV videos.

[–] Luminous5481@anarchist.nexus 11 points 2 hours ago (2 children)

I know why they’re doing it. I just think it’s something only a doofus would do.

Or someone making OF content for example.

I hate making out wearing glasses. That said, it is a porn category 🤷‍♂️

Glasses are like lingerie: They’re not for during, but before

Believe it or not but not all sex starts with walking into the bahtroom, closing the door, disrobing, and hopping under the covers.

And while it likely applies less to the folk with camera glasses: If your vision is poor enough, it is always a tradeoff between them getting in the way and constantly squinting at your partner.

Why do you have blankets in your bathroom

[–] Canconda@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 hour ago (1 child)

No it's the "Baht Room". Like you've been Baht. You need to be punished. *wtsh *wtsh

[–] NuXCOM_90Percent@lemmy.zip 3 points 50 minutes ago

Exactly. This obviously wasn't a brain fart + typo.

The kink shaming of some people.

omg can I just make fun of techbros wearing Facebook smart glasses without everyone doing an 18-point analysis on it?

[–] Lydon_Feen@lemmy.world 12 points 2 hours ago

I mean... If you can't trust underpaid workers in Kenya's sense of privacy, who can you trust?

[–] MurrayL@lemmy.world 1 point 33 minutes ago

Finally, a way to indulge in exhibitionism without having to leave the house!

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)

[–] MushuChupacabra@piefed.world 8 points 2 hours ago

Nice to know that when you're standing at the urinal, some schmuck at Meta has seen your hog.

[–] saltesc@lemmy.world 4 points 2 hours ago

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.
