Meta lässt Videos der Ray-Ban Smart Glasses von Menschen auswerten.

Recherchen aus Schweden zeigen, dass Dienstleister in Kenia das Material sichten, um KI-Modelle zu trainieren. Dabei landen regelmäßig intime Aufnahmen aus Wohnräumen oder von Bankkarten auf den Bildschirmen der Arbeiter. Die DSGVO gilt auch hier weiter.

Per si algú tenia dubtes, els vídeos enregistrats per les ulleres Meta Ray-Ban van a petar a Kènia per que siguin vistos i revisats per humans.

Gerade wieder was über die #Spitzelbrillen von meta/RayBan/Luxottica gelesen. Mein erster Gedanke: Es ist viel weniger aufwendig, herauszubekommen, auf welche Wellenlängen deren CCDs reagieren. Nur mal angenommen >780nm. Eine Fassung mit einer (zwei) unauffälligen Infrarotquellen auszustatten, die diese Spitzelbrillen blenden, ist nicht sooo schwer. Ich habe auch schon Hörbrillen gebaut. Habe ich gerade ein neues Geschäftsfeld entdeckt? 🤔

'All Meta Ray-Ban models have relatively thick plastic frames with a camera lens located in the frame's upper left corner (or upper right if you're facing the wearer). On the opposite corner is the LED light, which automatically turns on when the wearer is filming. It lights up when a photo is taken and pulses when recording a video.

To take a photo or record a video, the user presses the capture button on the right arm of the glasses (near the LED light). The user can also use voice commands: "Hey Meta, take a photo" or "Hey Meta, take a video."

Meta also produces glasses in partnership with Oakley. The HSTN model looks like a rounded version of the Ray-Ban frames, with the camera and LED in the same location. But the Vanguard model looks more like wraparound goggles than glasses, and its camera and LED are found in the center of the nose bridge.'

O_O A Man Bought Meta's AI Glasses, and Ended Up Wandering the Desert Searching for Aliens to Abduct Him

｢ opened the door to a six-month delusional spiral that played out across Meta platforms through extensive interactions with the company’s AI, culminating in him making dangerous journeys into the desert to await alien visitors and believing he was tasked with ushering forth a “new dawn” for humanity ｣

Meta Could Release a Smartwatch This Year: This Is Why It Makes Sense
A new report points to a 2026 release for a Meta fitness watch. But the real reasons for its arriving have to do with glasses, too.

This App Warns You if Someone Is Wearing #SmartGlasses Nearby

A new hobbyist developed app warns if people nearby may be wearing smart glasses, such as Meta’s Ray-Ban glasses, which #stalkers and harassers have repeatedly used to film people without their knowledge or consent. The app scans for smart glasses’ distinctive #Bluetooth signatures and sends a push alert if it detects a potential pair of glasses in the local area.
