The loudest story about AI is a lonely one. One person with an army of chatbots. Other humans are friction.
That gets the future wrong. The best things aren’t built alone.
In a moment of change, we want to remind the world (and ourselves) what Notion stands for:
— Think Together
I’ve always believed the No.1 application of AI should be to improve human health.
That work started with AlphaFold, and now at @IsomorphicLabs with the mission to reimagine drug discovery and one day solve all disease!
We are turbocharging that goal with $2.1B in new funding.
🚨META’S SMART GLASSES ARE RECORDING YOU IN YOUR MOST INTIMATE MOMENTS..
AND SENDING ALL OF IT TO WORKERS IN KENYA WHO WATCH EVERY SECOND.. THEN META FIRED 1,108 OF THEM FOR TALKING ABOUT IT..
Swedish journalists discovered that footage from Meta’s Ray-Ban smart glasses is being sent to a facility in Nairobi, Kenya.. Where workers manually watch and label everything the glasses capture..
Not AI watching.. Humans watching..
Over 30 workers confirmed what they see every day.. People in intimate situations.. People on the toilet.. People undressing.. Credit card numbers.. Banking passwords.. Private messages on phone screens.. All completely visible..
One worker said.. “I don’t think they know, because if they knew they wouldn’t be recording”..
Meta marketed these glasses as “built for your privacy”.. “You’re in control of your data and content”..
The AI features cannot function without sending your footage to Meta’s servers.. There is no local option.. If you use the AI.. Your private life leaves your device..
Swedish journalists visited 10 retail stores.. Every single sales rep incorrectly told customers all data stays on the phone.. Not one knew the footage goes to Kenya..
Meta claims face-blurring protects identities.. Workers say it barely works.. Faces fully visible in low light, fast movement, complex backgrounds..
People in your bedroom.. Fully visible.. To strangers making $1.50 an hour..
Workers said the facility was “saturated with content that could trigger enormous scandals if leaked”.. So the company put them under constant camera surveillance and banned personal devices..
Workers surveilled to prevent them from leaking the surveillance footage they were watching..
Then the investigation went public..
Meta terminated the entire contract.. Claimed Sama “didn’t meet our standards”.. Sama fired back.. “At no point were we notified of any failure to meet those standards”..
1,108 Kenyan workers.. Fired.. Six days notice..
Labor activists called it retaliation.. “The workers who trained the AI saw everything.. Owned nothing.. And lost their jobs the moment they spoke about it”..
55% of these workers report clinical distress.. 52% meet thresholds for major depression.. They earn $1.50 an hour.. Meta made $56.3 billion last quarter..
The head of the Data Labelers Association said it best..
“It is African Intelligence powering European intelligence.. Which they are now calling Artificial Intelligence”..
Meta has sold 7 million of these glasses.. Targeting 10 million by year end.. A class-action lawsuit has been filed.. Kenya’s courts ruled Meta can be sued directly.. 200 former workers are pursuing a $1.6 billion claim..
7 million cameras on 7 million faces.. Sending everything to the cheapest labor market they can find..
And they called it “built for your privacy.”
This Australian player was celebrating a goal against Curaçao when a glove was thrown at him from the stands, and he started dancing like Michael Jackson😂😂😂
Just 15 minutes before Donald Trump's Truth Social post about 'talks' with Iran, there was an odd peak of market activity – did some know what he was about to say?
