Would love to see some data backing how strong the effect is.

Hah, not meta or anything related

They're sunglasses so I mainly wear them outside.

I think the most likely case is: this company is labeling images from meta AI use from people who opted-in to share their data with Meta.

It's certainly possible that it's something much more surprising / sinister, but there is a fairly logical combination of settings that I could see a company could argue lets them use the data for training.

I'm also very certain that few users with these settings would expect the images to be shown to actual people, so I'm not defending Meta.

I'll confess that I like my Meta Ray Ban glasses: I love using them to listen to podcasts at the pool/beach, while riding my bike, and it's cool to snap a quick picture of my kids without pulling out my phone.

I wish this article (or Meta) were a bit clearer about the specific connection between the device settings and use and when humans get access to the images.

My settings are:

- [OFF] "Share additional data" - Share data about your Meta devices to help improve Meta products.

- [OFF] "Cloud media" - Allow your photos and videos to be sent to Meta's cloud for processing and temporary storage.

I'm not sure whether my settings would prevent my media from being used as described in the article.

Also, it's not clear which data is being used for training:

- random photos / videos taken

- only use of "Meta AI" (e.g., "Hey Meta, can you translate this sign")

As much as I've liked my Meta Ray Ban's I'm going to need clarity here before I continue using them.

TBH, if it were only use of Meta AI, I'd "get it" but probably turn that feature off (I barely use it as-is).

I haven't closely followed distributed protocols like this in years so might just be just behind the times, but I can't recall ever seeing "Pro Censorship" as a badge on a technology.

Seems to fit with real-world trends that confuse and frustrate me. I'm not saying we need a censorship-proof world, just that I find this quite jarring. I suspect I might be missing some context.

I love playing with my mirrorless camera and lenses, but I'm becoming more and more convinced that it's a risky proposition "investing" in a bunch of expensive camera gear (which traditionally holds it's value better than most gadgets) when computational methods will soon evaporate the advantages of bigger sensors / faster glass.

"Furthermore", "novel", "distinct" are scientific jargon that reduce readability? Seems like a non-problem to me.

You might look at youtube red, which is included with the google music streaming service. Will let you download videos to your mobile device for offline viewing. Combined with your youtube "to watch" list, it works pretty well. Unfortunately doesn't support an "add on desktop -> auto download mobile" workflow.

Can people suggest companies that better balance the factors that I've seen mentioned in this thread:

- Provide good pay/benefits

- Provide a positive culture for employees

- Employees are encouraged to have a life outside work

- Are run in such a way that good decisions are made and the company seems headed for continued success

- Look good on your resume

You're misreading. Everyone they hire is intended to be a leader, and being right is one of the qualities they care about in employees. Not "management is usually right, so trust them".

if the company tanks right after you exercise, can't you deduct the losses?
