What is meta ai glasses films? Film as in a thin layer? Or meta shot something on 35mm film and some Kenyans watched it? What the fuck does this headline mean and why would I read this stupid article?
The actual article title is only slightly more decipherable. Meta hired a company, which employs a number of people in Kenya, to review videos recorded by Meta’s AI/Smart glasses. The employees were to provide manual annotations to the videos in order to train Meta’s AI. Meta terminated the arrangement stating expectations weren’t met. The employees of the firm claim they had to review obscene or intimate content. Examples mentioned include a man leaving his glasses on, on a nightstand, where his wife later came in an undressed, instances of glasses wearers engaged in intercourse, etc.
So 1100 people are out of work. Meta says they axed them for poor performance/redundancy. The company says “that’s bull” and it’s because employees raised awareness about what was being recorded.
Sucks for the folks out of work. With regard to the users, I personally can’t feel bad for anyone who willingly brings a Meta device into their home or who uses their apps. As for third parties, who don’t want to find themselves part of a porno they didn’t agree to star in, I guess people need to add “glasses go in the drawer” to their pre-coitus checklist. Maybe just file all Facebook and Insta users under “unfuckable” and call it a day.
