Furious? Cuckerberg was spying on us and THEY are furious?? Get fucked assholes!
It seems more like that he’s furious that their enormous spy network was not quite deployed yet and was discovered before it could do the real damage that it was designed to do, and now that it has been discovered, his plot has been foiled! In the most supervillainous sort of way
Probably because they were dogfooding, testing/using their own product before release.
I hear Donald Trump was fuming when he discovered that his bestie got caught for running a pedo ring
The irony of calling out Wired for “Dishonest Reporting tm” while saying this nonsense in your leaked memo is staggering:
But this isn’t the first time in recent months that NameTag has been in the news. In February, the New York Times reported on an internal Meta memo in which Meta discussed plans to install NameTag into its smart glasses. In the striking memo, the tech giant noted that the ethically-fraught feature should ideally be launched “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.”
So you know this feature is controversial, you absolutely do plan to release it to the public according to your own internal memos, and you have the nerve to call out a publication for explaining what the feature is and why it’s bad before they explain that it’s not currently implemented and you claim it won’t be. Sloppy work, guys.
That’s proper evil planning in action, 10/10 will evil again.
It makes me delighted that meta-execs are furious. Gotta savor those bits of Shadenfreude Joy!
Yes we’re beta testing this feature but we pinky promise, swearsies that we’re never going to actually use it even though we’re beta testing it to make sure it works.
One decision we can be clear about—we are not building a central face database
… because of course we aren’t. We already have one and it’s AMAZING.
…the site is called “FaceBook”, though? And it has a database of, among other things, faces. I’m not sure who these guys think they are kidding.
No no no, it’s not a central database at all. It’s distributed globally across many geographic locales, nothing central about it. Lots of redundancies too, it’s available everywhere all of the time. :S
Or rather, “we” aren’t, but palantir is.
Try not being evil then if you’re mad about being caught.
“What? Evil? Not us! No, we’re just disappointed that the heavy marketing blitz to get kids to wear these while we definitely would not be taking secret pictures and vids has to be scrapped. ~For now.~” –Facebook execs probably
If it’s not enabled and “exploratory”, then why the fuck did you deploy it, fuckface?
Code uncovered by journalists revealed that Meta quietly embedded facial recognition tech into its AI-enabled smart glasses
Meta and all the people they’re paying to influence entire countries can fuck right off
If that feature gets activated one day, will taking down and destroying someones Smart Glasses count as self-defence?
No.
Don’t like that answer? Push for laws.
No, but it would be fun to sue everyone with Smart Glasses since they have not your permission to film you.
Even before it does, I imagine there will be some grassroots shunning and banning in privately owned public spaces like last time.
“This is more than shoddy reporting, it’s intellectually dishonest,” Stone continued. “Pure advocacy-driven click bait.”
Maybe don’t be evil pieces of shit for, what, a decade (at least since it’s been widely covered)? That might help generate goodwill.
Corporations have emotions?
All people have emotions.
Wahhhh
Keep crying, meta execs.
If everything goes wrong for you from here out and you go totally broke, your family takes everything, your friends all betray you, and you get hauled and sent to wise than CECOT conditions, I would STILL laugh at you and mock you.
If I can help that happen I would. I want you to all an hero. But lemme get it on video. Ex billionaire death footage would probably be better than porn.
Fuck Zucc, forever.
It’s pretty easy to not get caught surveiling customers.
All you have to do is… Not surveil customers.
