    this is a great product. everyone should get a free muse account with a burner email, give it no information, open a shell into it, and use it to mine cryptocurrency. this is taking meta at their word about what they say the product is to be used for.

          An interesting conflict between a Dutch media creator Roel Maalderink (together with Bits of Freedom) and Meta regarding Meta glasses.

          The guy made a video wearing the glasses outside the Meta office in Amsterdam.

          The video showed several Meta employees reacting negatively to the glasses, and even asking multiple times if he was filming (showing that even they couldn’t see if the glasses are active.)

          Instagram took the video offline, which is the first time this creator had a takedown of one of his videos.

          I hope this goes viral beyond The Netherlands.

          Edit: Added a Fedi post by Roel himself.

              Aside from the original point of the quoted message, just imagine all the information requested in these (hardcoded) "ideas" put forward by the model to be helpful (3rd image) and handing these answers to Meta, one of the most untrustworthy companies in the world... And then also imagine, how many people are actually happily doing so without hesitation!

              These behaviors & patterns are some of the real risks of AI. Blinded by the illusion and promise of intelligent machines, their partial utilitarian benefits (which could be equally achieved otherwise), people stop perceiving the actual dangers of the ongoing increased exploitation & surveillance of their own lives, the destruction of environment and society around them, directly and indirectly...

                          Meta's new $349 Ray-Ban Audio glasses are camera-free. No camera doesn't mean no recording: they still capture and summarize the audio around you. A summary can hold sensitive details even when the raw audio isn't saved. Courts and cities from New York to London are already restricting smart glasses.

                          So what: learn the recording indicator (LED or chime), know owners can tape it over, and you can ask someone to stop.

                                                            ” Over 7 million Ray-Ban Meta glasses were sold in 2025. That’s 7 million cameras recording your life. And conveniently, that footage is exactly what AI needs to learn how to walk, cook, and steal your job.

                                                            The data collected by Ray-Ban Meta glasses is unprecedented. To understand Meta’s endgame, we analyzed the company’s organizational shifts, interviewed leading robotics experts, and conducted a 72-hour field test wearing the glasses to map exactly what data is being harvested for AI training.

                                                            From “episodic memory” to “intuitive physics,” we explain how Meta can use your daily life to train an empire of bots.

                                                            We speak with Lerrel Pinto, head of the General Robotics & AI Lab at NYU.”

Isn't that more than enough already? Should people be letting Meta take an active role in their finances and daily lives as well?

                                                                                                                                          My own disclaimer is that I've configured on my phone to block all Meta properties at DNS level, and I moved to a Fedi instance that blocks Threads. That shows you how little I trust Meta. We're not going to reach agreement here, but I hope we can still have a civilised and fruitful conversation.
