The data from your Meta Ray Bans is used to train Meta's AI, which most people don't understand means that humans are looking at the most intimate details of their lives.

@evacide everything #Fuckerberg touches, gets ruined and sold to even worse folks.

@evacide Great! Two more companies that I never did any business with have just made pretty darn sure that I never will. The list is getting longer, choices in life simplify.

@evacide feature not a bug

@evacide Panopticon. This data will be used by an authoritarian government against it’s people before you know it!

@evacide Grab them by the glasses.

@KatS Goed idee. @evacide

[fossthought@mastodon.social]

@evacide I'm sick of their "you're in control of what data you share" line. No you're not. It's proprietary software. You have no idea what's going on under the hood. All they did was code up some graphics that show options as "off." It still sends everything.

@KatS @evacide Hmmmm… is there a small version of such a device and would that be legal?

@evacide

I have a coworker who wears these. I feel like he shouldn't be allowed to ever look at me now.

@evacide

If enough people wore Zuckerfuck's spy glasses, it would absurdly serve the expansion of corporate surveillance in the public and private sphere.
Do we really want a society where everybody is willingly wearing corporate monitors, with Waymos on every street, CCTV on every corner, smartphone cameras unwittingly recording from every hand?
Seriously, this is the craziest dystopia unfolding in real time.
Stop. The. Madness.
Boycott this shit and counter-trendify!

@evacide The thing I really want to know about the Meta Ray Bans is: "Will It Blend?" It would be delightful to get the video from the glasses as they're lowered into the Blendtec and see it abruptly cut off as the mechanized whirring starts.

@evacide Just as a matter of interest, the illegal gold miners in South Africa and Zimbabwe are referred to a zama zamas.

@JimmyB

explicit consent is probably/most-definitely included in the T&C's of the glasses themselves - you turn them on, you consent.

GDPR only covers things others own with respect to you.

store loyalty cards even confer consent to the store that you signed up to.

don't sign up.

@evacide brb, upgrading my foil hat to a crown of ultra bright IR LEDs to fuck up any cameras.

@calbaker

from a non-disclosure perspective, something you and your co-worker are both likely legally bound to with your employer through your employment contract, is a route you can try with your employer.

your coworker is potentially transmitting confidential material outside the company. this is bad for privately held companies, but outright illegal for publicly traded companies
as this could lead to securities violations (insider trading)

@evacide "What if they see me naked?" is most people's first impulse but I think "What if they see me in a moment of psychological vulnerability and feed that back to the inhuman algorithmic predators they own to seize on that moment to exploit or harm me?" is a bigger concern of mine.

[gooba42@mastodon.social]

@CaptMikeYates @KatS @evacide In the US at least you're forbidden from using *any* device which *intentionally* creates RF noise.

A malfunctioning radio is allowed. A purpose-built jammer is not.

Proceed accordingly.

[gooba42@mastodon.social]

@gimulnautti @evacide Or the inhuman, immortal aristocrats we call "corporations".

AI isn't the competing species that's going to kill us, corporations are.
