Where did you think the training data was coming from?
jmclnx: meta spies on you, news at 11/sBut if you run any proprietary system, yes they are spying on you, maybe even if you disable what setting you can find. You can tape the camara, but the mic ? I think the only option is to disable the mic in the BIOS.If you really care about spying, you really should be on Linux or a BSD. IMO, tinfoil hat people should be on OpenBSD, they disable the cam and mic at the OS level and does not have bluetooth at all. FWIW, I still believe bluetooth is a cesspool of security issues.
JohnFen: > You can tape the camara, but the mic ? I think the only option is to disable the mic in the BIOS.From my experimentation, filling the little microphone hole with blu tack is pretty effective. Not as effective as opening the machine up and cutting out the microphone (my preferred solution), but close.
AndrewKemendo: Imagine your goal is to create superhuman robots that work like humansNow also assume that you need data to train the robots and that you have a perspective that visual data will eventually be good enough to capture fine grained movementSo how do you go about capturing that data at the largest scale as fast as possible?You give people an incentive to wear egocentric video cameras all day so that you can capture 100% of the data and actions from humans as they go through their life in order to transfer it to policy rolloutsUltimately artificial intelligence is about transferring action policies from humans to machines and the fastest way to do that is to have 100% surveillance of a personif people actively sign up for that that’s about as good as it gets
youknownothing: I've said it for a long time: the main reason Meta wanted to created glasses or VR/AR is to circumvent the privacy rules that Google and Apple slowly introduced in their App Stores.
10000truths: More specifically, it's because Meta views the lack of ownership of their own hardware platform as an existential threat. They see AR/VR as the next revolutionary platform, so they're betting the farm on being first movers in a mass-market AR/VR space that they anticipate to exist in the future.
