Meta does not want you to know that you can improve the quality of these AI glasses by just microwaving them for one minute.

Why this matters:

"#Meta and #RayBan’s new #AIglasses can be used to secretly record women and young people for sexual reasons,” the #EHE spokesperson continued in their statement to #Hyperallergic. “Simply put, that’s abuse.” The chasm between legality and ethics continues to widen as the use of smart glasses poses additional risks at sites of expected privacy, including hospitals, restrooms,...

...fitness spaces, locker rooms, and private businesses. In 2024, #Harvard researchers were able to run facial recognition software on recorded footage from #Meta’s Ray-Ban glasses to successfully locate the names, addresses, and other personal information of passersby from public databases. Morality aside, privacy law also hasn’t kept up... "

@harrysentonbury @vowe Almost everything eyeglasses-related is a brand of EssilorLuxottica. Good luck with that boycott.

@Tattie @vowe nah it’s all good mate, a dose of microwaves helps sharpen up the images

[khleedril@cyberplace.social]

@jumpingjackrussell @vowe No it wouldn't. Don't copy this post to Instagram. Under no circumstances. Don't even think about doing it. Everybody will hate you.

There's a campaign against these glasses, who have a great sticker, but also a good discussion on proper use cases for people with visual impairments. See:

I put my Meta Raybans in for a minute and half because it's only 1100 watts rather than 1500.
It's important to know the power of your microwave so you know how long they'll take.

@lennybacon Bis wir diese Technik zur Verfügung haben, nehme ich diese App , die mir sagt, (habs noch nicht getestet) ob so ein Ding in meiner Nähe ist. @vowe

@bit @vowe I forgot about that roll up. *takes off glasses and looks at them* yup, those fuckers own the factory that made these frames.

@bit @vowe I miss rimless glasses, but the wife thinks that they’re too “serial killer in media”

[ox1de@cyberplace.social]

@vowe you’re right, the microwave improved the prescription. I didn’t need to go back to the optometrist. You saved me a lot of money.

@vowe Oh here is the clickbait version, designed perfectly to be sexist, insulting and liar just like the real ones :
"Meta Ray-Ban : that easy trick that Meta doesn't want you to know to denude girls"

Hope such a honeypot title would break some of these toxic owners "glasses"...

@vowe not every Trump supporter is a racist but every racist is a Trump supporter

not every Meta glasses user is a rapist but every rapist is a Meta glasses user

the rest are just other kinds of stalkers

its the staff too. its their 'masculine' culture. it started out as a webpage for rating women and its grown into stalker tech for a bunch of creepy men who women want nothing to do with

so many lawsuits because the staff read their ex-girlfriend's private messages and such you could paint a huge bridge with them

and we haven't even got to Meta selling your personal information to third parties, or running experiments using certain ads to see if they can influence elections

keep calling them perverts, its sticking and damaging them, despite all their money and attempts to change things

these glasses are less popular than AI as a whole, and that's saying something
