Fuck AI

"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

I remember when some students did a PoC of this to showcase the dangers of the glasses, and Meta replied like "why are we to blame, it would have worked the same with any camera". Well, any other camera doesn't look like a regular pair of glasses motherfucker.

Every single aspect of our lives are being taken over by ethically bankrupt billionaires that will never in a million years face consequences.

It’s so exhausting that every single day the rich and powerful are infiltrating hobbies like gaming, tech, media, etc, and are actively making them all worse because there is no accountability whatsoever for these rich fucks and the people in positions of power who they bribe

Meta, stalking women since college.

Is there any definable social group that they won't put at risk?

Well, they’re going to be easier to identify with their meta glasses.

Don't underestimate the number of people who will intentionally skip meals to save for these, like iPhones, Gucci, LV...

This shit is horrifying for absolutely everyone, another reason im thankful I've kept my social media profile to a complete minimum.

[–] mr_anny@sopuli.xyz 30 points 12 hours ago

Obvious solution is to abandon Meta completely.

I'm not sure why these glasses get the hate for this. It'll be available with any camera hooked up to ai search tools.

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 4 points 4 hours ago

But this camera is hidden so creeps can follow women.

[–] urheber@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 6 hours ago

Cameras shouldn't be hooked to ai

[–] KeenFlame@feddit.nu 5 points 6 hours ago

Because they are hooked up to AI search tools probably

Women and girls could be put at risk of harassment, stalking, and abuse if Meta presses ahead with plans to add AI facial recognition features to its smart glasses, leading charities have warned. Experts said the technology, which would allow wearers to identify people and find out information about them using the platform’s AI tool, could pose a “direct and serious” risk to survivors by placing them “in harm's way” and enabling abusers to locate and track them.

No! 🫨

No whaaaAaa? Noooo!

The times, when it is easier to generate forbidden content than to film/create it, have finally come. Our world is so much cooked that some global disaster would be a God's mercy, not a punishment.

Everyone is at risk. I once saw screenshot from X of image of little girl with dog with comment asking "Grok, make them naked". I'm so glad I didn't see the Grok's reply. I wonder why some popular people are still on X. Meta smart glasses could probably make the same thing if they were jailbreaked. 10 years ago there was only scam ads of these products in newspapers. Now we live in dystopia where it is true.

Because their own need for attention is greater than the concern they may have about enabling chid pornography, the dissemination of conspiracy theories or and/or Nazi propaganda

First of all, fuck META and fuck spyware.

That being said, as someone with a neurological disorder that makes it difficult or impossible for me to recognize people, the benefits of a piece of software that could tell me someone name WHEN THEY HAVE ALREADY GIVEN IT TO ME would be so beneficial.

A lot of people don't realize how impossible it is to form attachments to people when I have to meet them a dozen times to remember that they exist.

I gotta put little fake lenses on my glasses do I can ride the fad!...oh it's done. Boy that was quick! I gotta get all these stickers off my glasses before someone punches me in the face for having to correct my eyesight.
