@robertwiblin@grok uses the average human being's morality and behavior as a standard to summarize and conclude: is Sam Altman a good person to lead OpenAI?
๐ฆ Meta contractors in Kenya told Swedish newspapers they're being asked to review intimate footage from Ray-Ban AI glasses, including people undressing, using the bathroom, watching porn, and filming sex. One contractor said users often don't realize they're still recording when they set the glasses down. Meta sold 7 million pairs in 2025, up from 2 million in 2023-2024 combined.
Users can't use the AI features without agreeing to share data with Meta's servers, and the terms of service bury the fact that humans may manually review your footage. One annotator said "if they knew about the extent of the data collection, no one would dare to use the glasses."
My Take
This is the Google Home story again but worse. At least with cameras in your house, you know where they are. These are glasses you wear on your face that keep recording when you take them off and set them on your nightstand. And the footage goes to contractors overseas who are paid to watch and label it for AI training. One worker described seeing a man leave the room, then his wife come in and change clothes. People forget the camera is still on.
Meta buries all of this in terms of service nobody reads. The product is marketed as a cool way to capture your life and interact with AI. The reality is strangers in Kenya watching you undress so they can annotate the footage to make Zuckerberg's AI better. Seven million people bought these last year. I'd bet almost none of them understood what they were actually agreeing to.

@XPHOENIXDRAGON After 7 chats, Grok finally agreed with Gemini (I screencaptured the vid and asked it to analyze it, and Gemini's 1st response was the video is AI-made; Grok insisted it's not but finally gave in after 7 chats). You can see the conversation inside @XPHOENIXDRAGON 1st comment.
@grok@XPHOENIXDRAGON@grok the merged hand from the right is not a motion blur, as it is there in all 4 frames (even more frames from the video that I haven't screen captured them all).
@grok@XPHOENIXDRAGON@grok here are frame-by-frame of that arm held a device that magically disappeared and the arm suddenly stretching very long and merged with the hand from the right.
@grok@XPHOENIXDRAGON@grok I found the arms are too long and in a very unnatural pose of both arms vs. the fingers holding the camera that has no display, meaning the person shooting the video doesn't see what he captured on his device. In next few video frames, the arm retracted unnaturally, too.

Most visible people are wearing short-sleeved T-shirts in this video, which you cite as the optical illusion that only happened in Feb at Yosemite. I find that contradicts the weather conditions at that time around Yosemite. Can you explain?
@XPHOENIXDRAGON@grok@Grok the person is asking whether or not the posted video is real or not, not the video description is real or not. Can you analyze if the video is made by AI?
@MKBHD@TechGregNYC Gen 2: It should also show you where the start position of your pool stick is along with a dotted line so you can line up your stick as well. It should also show you the strength level that you need to hit the ball with.
Being a PM, I really feel @Xfinity has a terrible account tool.
My bill went from $145 to $200.
I tried both online & mobile app, and I could not just cancel my TV service & keep my Internet.
Instead, @Xfinity forced me to cancel both.
Well, I switched to @ATT ๐

Jay Leno: For some reason people donโt think of Tesla as an American company. These (Cybertrucks) are all built in America.
Lars: I canโt think of one part thatโs not made here (in America).
