Meta is taking after Amazon by no longer allowing Ray-Ban Meta owners to opt out of having their voice recordings stored in the cloud. “The option to disable voice recordings storage is no longer available, but you can delete recordings anytime in settings,” the company wrote. In its voice privacy notice, Meta states that “voice transcripts and stored audio recordings are otherwise stored for up to one year to help improve Meta’s products.”

Meta (Facebook) is now forcing users of its smart glasses to store voice recordings in their cloud so they can train their AI with it. Customers no longer have a say in the matter, and the feature cannot be turned off.

THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM because (1) the glasses record everything not just the wearer's voice, (2) random strangers you interact with have not given consent to be recorded, and (3) certainly have not given consent to be used as training data for an AI.

And yes, the wearer must choose to activate the recording feature; the glasses do not record 24/7. But (as we learned with the google glasses debacle of 2014) assholes absolutely will walk around in public recording everyfuckingthing without consent.

Be very careful around anyone wearing Ray-Ban glasses.

Meta has a major opportunity to win the AI hardware race

🟢 AI wearables have struggled significantly this year, despite early excitement surrounding their potential. Initially, the tech world was eager about devices like the Humane AI Pin and the Rabbit R1, which promised transformative experiences. However, neither has met expectations, echoing a pattern seen in past gadget hype cycles, such as with Google Glass and various augmented reality headsets, which have ultimately failed to achieve commercial success.

🟢 In an ironic twist, the most promising AI wearable currently is the Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses, which have exceeded expectations despite skepticism about their viability. Unlike previous iterations, such as the Ray-Ban Stories, the Meta glasses successfully combine style and functionality, appealing to consumers who prefer fashionable designs over sci-fi aesthetics. Priced at $299, they offer a more affordable alternative to high-end devices while still delivering good audio and video quality, making them suitable for everyday use.

🟢 The Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses incorporate AI features as practical enhancements rather than the primary focus. Users can leverage the AI for tasks like object identification, caption writing, and video calls, all of which integrate seamlessly into their daily lives. Although some AI functionalities might be imperfect, the glasses remain functional even if the AI underperforms, distinguishing them from other devices that have faltered.

🟢 Moving forward, Meta faces the challenge of improving its AI capabilities to transition from merely convenient features to indispensable tools that enhance everyday life. With a solid foundation established through style and usability, Meta has the potential to succeed in the AI wearable market. The upcoming Meta Connect event will serve as a crucial opportunity for the company to demonstrate its commitment to innovation in AI hardware, which could reinvigorate interest in this technology sector and solidify its leadership position.

The technology, which marries Meta’s smart Ray Ban glasses with the facial recognition service Pimeyes and some other tools, lets someone automatically go from face, to name, to phone number, and home address.

Ray bans just released a new line of sunglasses that can take photos and videos and am I crazy or is that the last thing that should be going in sunglasses? When people imagine sci-fi futuristic glasses like Tony stark’s, they usually think about effects that only affect the user. With these new Ray bans, if they catch on everyone will constantly have to be worried about being secretly recorded without any sort of knowledge since you can’t see a camera or phone pointed towards you. Idk about anyone else but this is kind of worrying to me

In a Google document, AnhPhu Nguyen and Caine Ardayfio explained how they linked a pair of Meta Ray Bans 2 to an invasive face search engine called PimEyes to help identify strangers by cross-searching their information on various people-search databases. They then used a large language model (LLM) to rapidly combine all that data, making it possible to dox someone in a glance or surface information to scam someone in seconds—or other nefarious uses, such as "some dude could just find some girl’s home address on the train and just follow them home,” Nguyen told 404 Media. This is all possible thanks to recent progress with LLMs, the students said.
