Welcome to the News community!

Rules:

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.


Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.


5. Only recent news is allowed.


Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.


6. All posts must be news articles.


No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.


7. No duplicate posts.


If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.


Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.


All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.


10. Don't copy entire article in your post body


For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

The same firm that helped train ChatGPT is now at the center of Meta's smart glasses privacy scandal

The glasses include an AI assistant that requires recording audio and video, some of which becomes AI training data. Human contractors scan and label material that AI struggles with.

Meta states that its terms of service explain these details, and the glasses require explicit user permission to engage AI mode. Nonetheless, Sama employees reported that the glasses recorded banking information, private conversations, people naked in bathrooms, and intimate encounters.

It's not their fault so that's kinda sad.

Now some other contractors in some other country are gonna look at it obviously. Not solving anything.

The problem I see is that there's more and more support for mass surveillance. Many countries in the EU are totally ok with chatcontrol, some countries now want to forbid anonymous social media etc. It's insane.

generally, screw meta; there is no privacy when it comes to it.

Not that I support any of this but people reviewing and seeing people input banking information is fucked in a bunch of ways in particular.

[–] MountingSuspicion@reddthat.com 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

At least the banking information likely belonged to the people that bought the glasses. It's very possible that people have unknowingly had sex with people wearing these glasses and now not only does a sex tape exist of them, it was also sent to help train AI and other people have seen it too.

I’m really glad that people are getting fired for doing exactly what we would have suspected they would be doing, and all before a public rollout of these assholes monitoring us.

This just proves that they couldn’t even be trusted to monitor themselves.

[–] LwL@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

The ones getting fired are the employees bringing the violations to light. The assholes monitoring us are doing just fine.

I side with the whistleblowers myself.

People fuck with their expensive sunglasses on?

don't mash genitals if you can see the sky you'll end up on Google maps satellite/3D flyover/street view maybe

unless you're into that. I'm not kink shaming

still, those things are pricey, no?

you will have to lie to the repair shop on how you broke your Facebook sunglasses

on the surveillance: I already assumed they were doing that

isn't breaching everyone's privacy their whole business model?
