  • It may not be on all the time, but the minute the wearer says, for example, “Hey Siri [or whateever Fuckerberg’s version of Siri is], please translate that menu in English”, then the damn thing starts recording - and possible flash a red light, if you say it does that - and you’re in the frame, you’ve already lost. Facebook has your mug on camera, whether you wanted it or not.

    That’s my problem with these things: the whole idea of even using them implies that everybody around the wearer relinquishes their right to privacy by default, something I for one am totally not okay with.

    If the wearer wants to submit to Facebook’s surveillance, it’s their problem. But those of us who care about not interacting with Facebook in any way, shape or form are dragged into the wearer’s choices and don’t have any say about it.


  • The problem with those AI glasses isn’t the AI part of it, but the always-on cameras with that terrible, terrible company Facebook always watching.

    Whoever wears those things in public will have the same problem those who tried wearing Google’s smartglasses experienced a few years back: people who recognize they’re being filmed against their will will get angry, demand that the gormless geek doff the cameras, then punches will be thrown if the geek doesn’t comply.

    Smartglasses - particularly those powered by privacy-invading monopolies - are socially out of place. They’re not really desired or welcome anywhere. Even Google recognized this and pulled the plug on their smartglasses project, and Facebook will too if they have any common sense.

    I’m only applying to Musk or Trump the standards I would like others to apply to me. If I was wrongly accused of being a pedo, however vile an individual I might otherwise be, I would like others to have the intellectual honesty to say they have no proof, even if they hate my guts.

    Also, it reflects poorly on people who accuse others of things without proof. It certainly would feel good to go around saying Musk is a pedo because the man is so abhorrent. But it would also be wrong.

    Until proof that he is a pedo comes out, that is. And boy do I wish proof comes out or what!

    I honestly don’t think all people in the Epstein file are pedophiles, even if they went to his island, even if they went multiple times, anymore than all the people in Charlie Manson’s diary were loonies and serial killers. It does cast doubts on what they did or did not know, but it’s not proof of wrongdoing in and of itself.

    What being mentioned in the Epstein file really means is that those are utterly disgusting people who are part of a disgusting elite. The friends they keep says a lot about them, and what that says isn’t good.

    I do believe Trump is a pedophile however, even if he was only mentioned twice in the Epstein files - in the birthday card and in Epstein’s rolodex - because both clearly show that Epstein and he had something a lot more special, dark and unavowable in common that just partying together.

    So no, absent more proof, I’ll assume Musk is “only” an obscenely wealthy, dangerous neo-Nazi with a ketamine addiction and a pedo daddy, but not a pedo himself. But I wouldn’t be surprised if the proof came out soon…




  • Who’s surprised by this?

    If you use AI to do things for you that you could do yourself, fundamentally you cheat.

    I’m not talking about a doctor asking AI to interpret some difficult medical data. In that case, AI is a tool.

    But when you ask it to write a summary of the boring-ass meeting you just slept through, or code a piece of code you can’t be assed to understand properly yourself, or do your homework, you shortcut your responsibilities.

    And at the core of the request lies a profound desire from the requestor to get a result without efforts, which is kind of morally bankrupt to begin with.
