How can a Wired writer be so naive as to entirely miss the big play here?
Obviously Google is using Glass in these scenarios to conduct data collection which can ultimately be used to train robots for the same jobs. Very clever that they are able to get the companies to pay for it and the workers to buy into it. I'm not saying the usage as described (help human workers function better at their jobs) is not a win; it's just not the real story.
- ac29 9y agoHN is not a good place to post unsourced conspiracy theories.
- tj-teej 9y agoHN is the exact right place for comments like the one above.
- RickS 9y agoNot only is it exceedingly reasonable, google has a history of exactly this type of play. 2 examples: they offered "free 411" to train their voice recognition, and they used captchaa first to decode books, and now to train computer vision algos. The theory offered is superbly likely IMO.
