Kathryn Bigelow's most under-rated film is almost upon us....just 30 years later than we thought.
Also...if you haven't seen that movie...go watch it. It's low-key one of her best.

Well that's what you get for spying on people. Duh
Yet another surveilance tool marketed as a cool tech gadget.
I remember when cool tech gadgets were cool and not undisguised spy tools.
It's almost absurd at this point, but i used to be really into gadgets and tech and shit. Now everything i see is like: that's a spy tool. That's showing ads. That is an ad. That is just a lie.
So you're telling me that the creepy motherfuckers who would wear something like this around in public do creepy things?
Never would have guessed that. 🤔
But this is not the problem but a symptom. Of you having no right to privacy (and if, it can be overwritten by some ToS), especially in public.
Well you definitely don't have any right to privacy in public in the US.
You have a reduced right to privacy in public but eliminated all together.
Orwell got it wrong with the wall mounted screens - 'they' want us to wear the screens. What was that album title? 'If you accept this,your kids are next., ' Can't remember which band
If you tolerate this, your children will be next. Is a Manic Street Preachers song.
They'll be next and they won't know any better
Thanks, almost got it right. A long while since I listened.
What was that album title? 'If you accept this,your kids are next., '
"If You Tolerate This Your Children Will Be Next." By the Manic Street Preachers.
That's the one, thanks. Almost got it right!
'I have nothing to hide."

Except for the first part of that quote. /s
Tesla was like 'we could use lidar, but instead we'll use CAMERAS'
We get to return to the verbiage “glasshole” right
WHY ARE THEY LOOKING?
Read the article??
“You understand that it is someone’s private life you are looking at, but at the same time you are just expected to carry out the work,” the employee said. “You are not supposed to question it. If you start asking questions, you are gone.”
It was a rhetorical question, and directed at Facebook as a collective.
being sent to offshore contractors for data labeling, a widely-used preprocessing step in training new AI models in which human contractors are asked to review and annotate footage.
From another article I read about this, seems like it involves a lot of drawing precise boxes around people and objects, stuff like that. Terminators gotta learn their sex moves from somewhere.
In a certain nihilistic dreadful sense it's hilarious how these AI advancements are built on the backs of exploitative manual labor. On the surface the AI models are so utterly impressive at how "smart" and advanced the tech appears to be, but the truth of it is just slave labor building a catalog of labeled data sourced from mass surveillance. The aliens should really intervene soon, before we build something that can threaten them...
Oof imaging being employed to do captchas all day.
Beats starvation, tho :/
They need someone to review and tag the recorded footage to train AI models.
No moment is private when wearing these glasses. I'm glad they haven't caught on where I live.
cause it's a mechanical turk

Frankly humanity does not need this invention one bit.
It may have legitmately sounded interesting and futuristic to some people a decade ago, but with the way tech companies are trending this type of tech will become an absolute surveillance and privacy nightmare. I mean it aleady is really, but it will get so so much worse.
Regulate and legislate these into oblivion. At the very least tech companies need to be punished financially for trying to speed run dystopia but I fear we're already sliding down that slope and it's too late
Frankly humanity does not need this invention one bit.
Yah. Unfortunately, we've got it though. :( :( :(
People I know, some friends, they are completely oblivious to how much it will surveillance them. Or how much Meta already does, in other ways. "I don't care, I'm not doing anything wrong".
Constant surveillance erodes a society. It erodes democracy.
The absolute tone-deafness of not seeing that meta seeing the things is the disturbing part.
Ahh yes, another reason mark zuckerberg needs to get luigi'd
Oh man! A friend just sent me this earlier today, I completely forgot to sign, but seeing this reminded me! Sharing the love.
FOUR signatures?! Wow, I have never seen so few signatures on a causeworthy well-written petition before 🫨
Well, yeah, neither of us are on social media. I need to text a few circles of friends but 5 signatures means it'll get more promotion out there.
That petition is cute, but even if such a law was passed, it would be struck down.
There are other similar ones that have more awareness, but one was focused around New Orleans as there was an incident. I didn't hear about it. Another is taking about banning at beaches which also make sense so voyeurism isn't so creepy and make people feel awkward
So? Even generating awareness about this nonsense is a +1 to society.
Cute comme tho.
These glasses and the people who wear them are disturbing.
Marky Z is watching you pee and calling it "streaming."
Chat is this true?
If you're recording while you pee, yes. If you're not recording while you pee, probably still yes.
God I wish they'd stop putting cameras in these and just make a nice pair of prescription glasses with good integrated headphones, a heads of display, and some basic touch controls on the stem.
I would genuinely enjoy this for easy listening and maps.
my dude
Okay now take this and make it not look like tacti-cool bullshit that would come with a glock
