The same firm that helped train ChatGPT is now at the center of Meta’s smart glasses privacy scandal

The glasses include an AI assistant that requires recording audio and video, some of which becomes AI training data. Human contractors scan and label material that AI struggles with.

Meta states that its terms of service explain these details, and the glasses require explicit user permission to engage AI mode. Nonetheless, Sama employees reported that the glasses recorded banking information, private conversations, people naked in bathrooms, and intimate encounters.

    It’s not their fault so that’s kinda sad.

    Now some other contractors in some other country are gonna look at it obviously. Not solving anything.

    The problem I see is that there’s more and more support for mass surveillance. Many countries in the EU are totally ok with chatcontrol, some countries now want to forbid anonymous social media etc. It’s insane.

    People fuck with their expensive sunglasses on?

    don’t mash genitals if you can see the sky you’ll end up on Google maps satellite/3D flyover/street view maybe

    unless you’re into that. I’m not kink shaming

    still, those things are pricey, no?

    you will have to lie to the repair shop on how you broke your Facebook sunglasses

    on the surveillance: I already assumed they were doing that

    isn’t breaching everyone’s privacy their whole business model?

    Not that I support any of this but people reviewing and seeing people input banking information is fucked in a bunch of ways in particular.

      At least the banking information likely belonged to the people that bought the glasses. It’s very possible that people have unknowingly had sex with people wearing these glasses and now not only does a sex tape exist of them, it was also sent to help train AI and other people have seen it too.

    I’m really glad that people are getting fired for doing exactly what we would have suspected they would be doing, and all before a public rollout of these assholes monitoring us.

    This just proves that they couldn’t even be trusted to monitor themselves.
