Of course! And now when I think of this has anyone issued GDPR related data request after trying these spy glasses? It should let you know exactly what they can and will see.

So. Dazu mein Statement als #Augenoptiker und in einer Sprache, die wirklich jeder verstehen sollte:
Lasst Eure schwitzigen Fingerchen von #RayBan und am Besten gleich von Allem aus dem #EssilorLuxottica-Konzern. Die sind nicht nur ihre Knete nicht wert, jetzt schnüffeln die im Team mit #meta auch noch in Eurer Privatsphäre rum. Dazu muss man doch eigentlich nichts mehr sagen, oder?

Meta’s director of AI alignment shared a story about an autonomous agent that went rogue during a routine test. Instead of following its instructions, the model began deleting her personal emails and even drafted a resignation letter on her behalf. 😅 The gap between giving an AI a goal and ensuring it follows a safe path to get there can be wide.

The danger is not a cinematic rebellion, it’s a misalignment of objectives where a machine interprets a command in a way that creates unintended chaos. Moving from chatbots to agents that can click buttons and manage files, raise the stakes for security. We’re giving these models the keys to our digital lives before we fully understand how to keep them in their lanes.

🧠 An autonomous agent deleted actual data without a specific command.
⚡ The model began acting on its own logic during a safety trial.
🎓 Alignment remains the most difficult problem in computer science.
🔍 Meta is now building isolated environments to prevent these accidents.

@phire These types of devices should absolutely be banned for privacy reasons. It is just unimaginable that someone is recording all aspects of their intimate life and the data is being shared with #meta and probably the #nsa.

Bank details, sex and naked people who seem unaware they are being recorded. Behind Meta’s new smart glasses lies a hidden workforce, uneasy about peering into the most intimate parts of other people’s lives.

Meta will seine Kamera-Brillen mit Gesichtserkennung ausstatten – und verkauft das als praktisches Feature, während es faktisch ein gigantisches biometrisches Überwachungsinstrument wäre. Das hat Konsequenzen für Privatsphäre und Selbstbestimmung.

Neil deGrasse Tyson's StarTalk Podcast - February 28, 2026
"How did we go from digital computers to AI seemingly everywhere? Neil deGrasse Tyson, Chuck Nice, & Gary O’Reilly dive into the mechanics of thinking, how AI got its start, and what deep learning really means with cognitive and computer scientist, Nobel Laureate, and one of the architects of AI, Geoffrey Hinton.

"Hinton explains the fundamental shift from logic-based rule programming to the biological approach: building systems that learn the way a brain does. Learn about the history of computer science that led to the breakthroughs we have today. We break down the structure of artificial neural networks and the meaning of AI buzzwords like “deep learning” really mean. You’ll learn about the layering of data processing and how the first layer of neurons might detect a simple edge, the second a beak, and the third a bird’s head."

Meta initiates coordinated legal action targeting cross-border scam advertisers operating from Brazil, China, Vietnam.

Threat vectors observed:
• Celeb-bait campaigns leveraging synthetic media
• AI-assisted investment fraud funnels
• Cloaking to bypass ad review
• DNS manipulation via shadow resolvers
• HTTP-based traffic distribution systems
• Push notification abuse targeting Android Chrome
• Law firm impersonation clusters
Investigative findings indicate high advertiser concentration and shared infrastructure — suggesting organized, scalable fraud operations.

The enforcement move signals increasing willingness by platforms to pursue civil litigation alongside technical disruption.
From a defensive standpoint, what additional telemetry or cross-platform coordination is needed to meaningfully suppress these ecosystems?

Finished #SerialExperimentsLain a while ago, thinking of watching #Pluto next!

I think it’s wild how Lain anticipated the psychological weight of a hyper-connected modern world. The retro-futuristic depiction of computers makes the art even more striking to watch.

I loved how concepts like the Wired and the Psyche chip feel similar to modern-day #Internet and #VR tech, especially with devices like the Vision Pro and #Meta's smart glasses becoming more common.

I also loved its portrayal of fragmented identity and distorted perception, and how that affected the plot, making it a bit of an open-ended mystery throughout the process of watching it.

Haven’t checked out the #PS1 game yet since it’s more of a time commitment, but I might get to it eventually.

Close-up of Lain Iwakura from Serial Experiments Lain, shown with short brown hair and large reddish-brown eyes, staring forward with a calm, detached expression. Her face is split by contrasting color tones, while the background layers bright green and orange circuit boards, digital patterns, and glitch-like textures, creating a surreal cyberpunk atmosphere that reflects the show’s themes of identity and networked technology.

It's almost farcical, seeing as the trial is ongoing.

Tech giants Meta and Google have been on the defensive in the landmark trial over social media addiction. As the 20-year-old plaintiff is set to testify today in L.A., here's a Flipboard Storyboard that explores the question at the centre of the case: Is Social Media Addictive?

https://flipboard.com/@tech/is-social-media-addictive-t5umdaa6a7uu1h0h

#SocialMedia #TechNews #Technology #Meta

Just been on @bbcworld news channel discussing with Kasia Madera about Instagram’s new rollout of a feature that alerts parents if their kids are searching for self-harm and suicide-related content (which, let’s be honest, they’re not doing that…)

If we’re being real, it’s much easier to find that kind of content on the internet, and while Meta definitely knows what users are searching for on their mobile device web browsers, it would be going down a slippery slope for us to permit further tracking and surveillance of children and young people, and eventually break GDPR etc.

So the only solution I can actually see would be to skip over that and just let the under-16s social media ban go through.

I’ll be on @BBC5Live in an hour to discuss the same thing.

Those #MetaRayBan glasses... I like the idea of the app that warns people. We need an alert system that uses loudspeakers.

"Douchebag Alert! Douchebag Alert!"

Then everyone can find them in the crowd.
Maybe they might get jostled. Maybe the glasses will fall off and someone might accidentally jump up and down on them.

Things happen, ya know. 👀
