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.

Some idiots be sharing nsfw stuff when asked to upload stuff for the ai companies, they have hella warnings telling you that isnt the kind of content they want lol

[–] OldQWERTYbastard@lemmy.world 43 points 10 hours ago

Reading this headline all I can think is "Are y'all really surprised?"

[–] decapitae@sh.itjust.works 24 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

Why um, why do "smart" glasses have moderators? 🤔 Am I too far 'offline' to be asking? 😬

[–] InternetCitizen2@lemmy.world 5 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Am I too far 'offline' to be asking?

This is surveillance phobic... and I'm down for it

[–] decapitae@sh.itjust.works 3 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

It may be time to train some llms to be anti llms... 🤔

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 7 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

AI training. They have the tag the videos for model consumption.

[–] decapitae@sh.itjust.works 4 points 7 hours ago

Egads! AI - the new asbestos. They're putting it in everything! B🤦

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

[–] R00bot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 51 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

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

[–] skrlet13@feddit.cl 5 points 9 hours ago

Yea, it sounds more confortable than wearing just a camera tied to yourself. POV porn is popular afaik

[–] Luminous5481@anarchist.nexus 26 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

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

[–] zewm@lemmy.world 10 points 13 hours ago

Or someone making OF content for example.

[–] R00bot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 13 hours ago

Agreed 👍

[–] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 3 points 7 hours ago

Really? I think it's way more natural than wearing a go pro.

Bedroom is a very reasonable realm for smart glasses if they aren't connected to the internet and are used for local recording.

The really weird part is wearing them in public and either recording people without their consent or even giving the clear impression of recording people without their consent. Wearing smart glasses in a public place is just an asshole move.

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.

[–] TALL421@lemmy.world 20 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Why do you have blankets in your bathroom

[–] Canconda@lemmy.ca 10 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] NuXCOM_90Percent@lemmy.zip 6 points 11 hours ago

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

The kink shaming of some people.

[–] Luminous5481@anarchist.nexus 7 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 0 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago)

I feel your pain. Welcome to Lemmy.

[–] eager_eagle@lemmy.world 7 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago) (1 children)

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

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 4 points 13 hours ago

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

[–] recked_wralph@lemmy.world 13 points 11 hours ago

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?

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 3 points 8 hours ago

Any camera/audio device with a wireless connection in your home is recording and storing your intimate moments.

[–] Lydon_Feen@lemmy.world 19 points 13 hours ago

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

[–] devolution@lemmy.world 12 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago) (2 children)

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)

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago)

I'll say it. It Zucks.

[–] Widdershins@lemmy.world 6 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

All Johnny Sins needs is a GoPro and a suction cup.

[–] frongt@lemmy.zip 3 points 9 hours ago

I've already seen plenty of POV porn where the guy has two free hands, so I'm sure it's a gopro and head strap. Which I'm sure looks ridiculously goofy for anyone else in the room.

[–] MushuChupacabra@piefed.world 14 points 13 hours ago

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

[–] saltesc@lemmy.world 9 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] MagicShel@lemmy.zip 4 points 10 hours ago

I always make sure to tell my audience to remove any smart glasses. It's just creepy doing it in front of them otherwise.

[–] nutsack@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 10 hours ago

I would let them do this for $40

[–] MurrayL@lemmy.world 3 points 11 hours ago

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