Meta Workers Say They’re Seeing Disturbing Things Through Users’ Smart Glasses
"In some videos you can see someone going to the toilet, or getting undressed."

And regardless of the wearer’s intention, much of the footage being
recorded by the glasses is being sent to offshore contractors for data
labeling, a widely-used preprocessing step in training new AI models
in which human contractors are asked to review and annotate footage.
It’s a laborious and highly resource-intensive process that tech
companies often gloss over when discussing the prowess of their latest
AI models.
“I saw a video where a man puts the glasses on the bedside table and
leaves the room,” one data annotator told the newspapers. “Shortly
afterwards his wife comes in and changes her clothes.”

Hmmm. I didn't know you could leave your smartglasses lying around to
act as a spy camera!
