They can't seem to help themselves with those internal memos 🤯:
"...reported that the company was considering adding facial recognition to its glasses. In an internal memo on the topic, a #Meta employee wrote that the timing to launch might be perfect: "We will launch during a dynamic political environment where many civil society groups that we would expect to attack us would have their resources focused on other concerns.""

Meta's Ray-Bans are a prank-video machine. Are they ruining society?

Meta's Ray-Ban glasses are sparking a popular genre of video on social media: harassing store employees and random people.

@madeindex @msbw unlike the goons who work at facebook, some of us can multitask

As far as I'm concerned, anyone wearing those fucking things in public is asking to have them taken away and stomped on.

@imalcolm haha I truly hope Marky Mark meets you at his next "presentation" ;)

Ian Malcolm 1d ago

Heheh, challenge accepted! 😂

@imalcolm I wonder what will happen when he throws one into the crowd at the end of the presentation and you catch it ;)

Ian Malcolm 1d ago

Ooh, in that case I'd be torn between:

(a) sticking it down my pants to give him some "special" footage before stomping, or

(b) pretending to be grateful, getting up on stage and then recording as I flick one of his ears repeatedly until he starts crying and promises to stop actively trying to make the world a worse place, and then stomp them.

@imalcolm (a) would be the lesson of a lifetime ;)

Then those poor workers in Kenya would have to watch it though:

Judging by that story, they would have seen worse... 😬

PS Bloody hell, that's even more of a privacy nightmare than I imagined.

Definitely! TBH I don't spend that much time on Reddit, more just check in occasionally, but this seems worth keeping up with! 👍

@imalcolm Same, will likely start some Fediverse version soon, that should make it easier for most here to join :)
