So how do you prevent Meta from gathering secrets displayed for even a tenth of a second on an employee' screen?
You'll have to ask security to check everyone's glasses now?
- wwweston 1y agoMeta isn’t the last company I’d trust with a wearable always on video input (among other data no doubt), but they’re in the bracket.
- smilespray 1y agoWho's worse? Palantir?
- testfrequency 1y agoYeah no kidding. Curious how someone could not rank Meta in dead last. Is the FBI last on your list or above Meta? At least in regard to Palantir you understand their business. Meta masquerades, hides, and cowers their shady practices behind consumer friendly products. Toxic lollipops labeled properly as toxic vs toxic lollipops labeled with a tiny * that requires consumer research. Which one do you think most people will reach for first?
- TheGRS 1y agoThe worst offender of giving my secrets away is still myself sadly.
- fnordpiglet 1y agoGoogle is the absolutely bottom of the pile. They’re literally nothing but a mass surveillance for money company.
- KennyBlanken 1y agoOr keep it from violating recording and privacy laws? How are these "smart glasses" legal in places like Germany where you (supposedly) can't even have a dashcam?
- madog 1y agoNot to mention Meta is ad tech so these will be full to the brim of tracking and adverts to recoup R+D costs. I'm yet to be convinced these are useful and not just another way to inject ads directly into eyeballs.
- noisy_boy 1y agoImagine you are driving or using a power tool or cooking with these on and an ad starts playing.
- fnordpiglet 1y agoI suspect the incentive is less here as headway plays have margins of their own and planned obsolesce cycles to ensure continued revenue streams. Don’t forget Facebook resisted advertising for a long time and Zuck was ideologically opposed to it until they needed it to survive at all because they found no other monetization. I have a theory meta is enthralled with the idea of hardwareand its ecosystem precisely because it gives them an out from being dependent on ad tech. Even the oculus line is more about App Store, subscription revenue, and hardware margin and afaik has no ad surfaces.
- jpk2f2 1y agoThe same way you prevent employees snapping photos of secrets on their screen. By making and enforcing rules on their usage.
- KaiserPro 1y agoFor the always on glasses (not these, they dont have enough battery) they have https://www.projectaria.com/tools/egoblur/ https://www.projectaria.com/tools/egoblur/ running (sometimes) its actually quite good. but it took them twoish years to get it into production. but only for research, not on these glasses.
- itsdrewmiller 1y agoDon’t press the button or use the voice command to take a picture - pretty simple. It’s not much easier to accidentally violate security with these than it is with a smart phone.
