Would you be surprised to find out that the facebook "smart" glasses have been outsourcing the video for review and processing to Nairobi?

Wealthy people once lived with vast staffs who cooked and cleaned for them, and who often knew intimate details of the lives of the powerful.

Now we have found a way for the rich to outsource ... thinking. Off-load mental work to minds half way around the world. We are suppose to pretend AI is doing this work.

@lilithian

I think we know why in some cases. It's a power thing in a way. A kind of exhibitionism.

Also they may save the video for later.

@lilithian @futurebird is it possible they can continue recording after taking them off? Where do you set your glasses down in a bedroom?
So is it possible some of these cases weren't even purposeful?

" is it possible they can continue recording after taking them off? "

Yes they outline one such case in the article I think.
