I bought a pair exclusively for masturbation as the thought of those facebook employees having to watch is so hot.

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
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?
Who watches the watchers?
Meta apparently
I thought smart glasses could be kind of neat, but no way in hell would I get a pair from Meta.
A set of FOSS smart glasses powered entirely by local hardware and software that you own and control? That would be kind of neat.
Anything connected to and under the control of a big corporation, though ... miss me with that shit.
Call me conservative but I think that would still suck. A society where everyone has a camera on their nose pointing at you sounds absolutely dreadful.

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

How about we ban hidden cameras in public?
That would hit undercover and investigating journalism hard
True, damnit.
Careful with this. Some French journalists (Cash Investigation) got some nice sequences by using hidden cameras, and I guess from the ads that the camera is not hidden, just tiny... I hate tese glasses with guts as they showed in one ad how people can hate it and thought let's fucking send it
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
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 not sure they still teach the FANBOYS system - at least not as I learned it: a "use this, not that" prescription for tightening sentence structure.
A quick DuckDuckGo search suggests they are now, and perhaps always have been, used in conjunction with commas. Which, frankly, makes my skin crawl.
"She was tired, and she needed to eat."
"It was the best of times, and it was the worst of times."
Evil. Great Evil.
Perhaps I'm caviling against flabby sentences rather than flawed punctuation but I maintain that the construction reliably signals the former.
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.
sensitive and personal footage captured by the devices—including people going to the bathroom, getting dressed, and having sex—is being reviewed
I wanna know... Or maybe I don't... Who is it that sees someone wear these glasses and decides that they wanna f--- them WITH THE GLASSES ON.
Don't get me wrong, I wear (normal) glasses and I like the way I look, but how can THESE glasses be anything but a major turn off?
The ☝️🤓 stays on during sex!
“Nah it’s fine, big companies would never do such a thing. Besides they’re beholden to the governments.”
Right.
