Meta is under pressure to explain why it cancelled a major contract with a company it was using to train AI, shortly after some of its Kenya-based workers alleged they had to view graphic content captured by Meta smart glasses.
In February, workers at the company, Sama, told two Swedish newspapers they had witnessed glasses users going to the toilet, and having sex.
Less than two months later, Meta ended its contract with Sama, which Sama said would result in 1,108 workers being made redundant.
What kind of idiot wears meta glasses?
Furthermore, what kind of idiot wears meta glasses while peeing or having sex?
Someone who wants trun by turn directions more conveniently that airpods or something. Let’s you have situational awareness while driving. If they weren’t Meta I’d consider some for prompting me about people’s names I forget names 5seconds after hearing them. Or people like me who can’t consistently distinguish faces, hence the facial recognition witha a database of names would be useful. I could also see them a preferable to a go pro or something when trying to capture and share a pov video while say working on a car or something.
If you were doing that, it would be easy to forget sometimes that you need to turn them off or take them off before private activities. Especially if you need glasses.
Fuck Meta, won’t buy their glasses, but absolutely would buy a similar product if I could run it through my servers.
Predators. Case in point: ICE
What kind of idiot? A bunch of morons on TikTok who make content either harassing strangers and setting people up for legal and social issues, or who post creep shots of women for their TikTok baby followers.
Well hopefully they all get blackmailed by a group of recently-laid-off Kenyans.
