What are Meta glasses really recording? The Swedish newspaper Svenska Dagbladet reports on data annotators in Nairobi, Kenya. They're the manual laborers of AI, whose job is to make smart glasses more "intelligent" by visually checking images. They're seeing more than they want to, from bank card numbers to naked bodies.

Meta’s AI Smart Glasses and Data Privacy Concerns: Workers Say “We See Everything”

Bank details, sex and naked people who seem unaware they are being recorded. Behind Meta’s new smart glasses lies a hidden workforce, uneasy about peering into the most intimate parts of other people’s lives.

I think in silicon valley they haven't heard this one yet:

A farmer is lying on his deathbed. When asked if he has any last wishes, he dramatically raises his hand and utters his last words: "MORE LAND!"

It fits every farmer I know. And then #AI data-center #tech companies have the audacity to offer millions to buy farmland?

Didn’t end well for them ;)

Data center builders thought farmers would willingly sell land, learn otherwise

Even in a fragile farm economy, million-dollar offers can't sway dedicated farmers.

OpenAI is a menace. Two recent stories make that clearer than ever.

One day you have Sam Altman denigrating humanity to defend AI. The next, WSJ reveals OpenAI could have alerted Canadian police of a potential mass shooter, but refused pressure from employees. That person went on to kill 8 people.

The robot apocalypse hasn't happened yet, but still I can't escape the feeling that something has gone horribly wrong... Cartoon for Dutch newspaper Trouw.

Some genius made his AI remind him to get milk in the morning and it used up his $20 account balance overnight because it kept checking if it was morning every 30 minutes. Lmao. “AI”
