You forgot to mention one of the "funniest" details about this: Some of those opt-out links the devs mentioned require you to UPLOAD your picture and an I.D. card showing your face. If that isn't something straight out of a Black Mirror episode, then I don't know what is...
Yeah that’s something I’m always wary about with things like “aura” or “delete me” How do I know they’re not secretly selling my data again? How do I know they aren’t doing some underhanded stuff?
Actually, 🤓, you already know your crush, just google it and you'll get the SSN info... This is more to approach that hottie in the middle of the street and ask her about her deceased chihuahua and that suspicious tweet she did 5 years ago
@@zoetje9817 Not really, it was more of a "🤓" type of comment... His "finally" implicates that this software is what makes it possible for him to know the SSN. But he probably knows the name of his crush, so her SSN is just a couple of shady websites away from him.
With knowledge like this, she basically works for you and should no doubt be willing to put in 40 hours/week to enrich your life for marginal benefit to hers!
The same thing but with access to essentially _every_ database (right now the hit rate on public reverse face rec is _very_ variable - in real life I bet they couldn't identify about 50% of the people they tried it on - but that changes if you can _also_ access drivers licence records, criminal records, passport records etc. Y'know, like a government could :).
They will know everything you do, everything you see or listen, whatever you do on your devices 24/7, they will analyze your comments or contents to get an estimate of your political views and mentality and they will be able to flag you as a normal sheep or as a danger (yellow/orange/red) for their government (especially if you're against dictatorship and you're in a 3rd world country). They know where you are 24/7 and can eliminate you if you're a problematic pawn to them.

Deleteme are scammers. They cannot remove your data from internet, only from a few data brokers that use your data for ads. Your data is on the dark web already and it keeps pouring there with every such hack of institutions that cannot delete your data. And Deleteme has no reach to the dark web. If you pay for it, you are being scammed and ripped off.

Cops everywhere just got new headgear. Don't point it at the cops, though. 40% of them are domestic abusers, and about three police officers are themselves arrested daily.
To be fair, this isnt conceptually hard to make. A small team of competent programmers would have probably easily made this if they had the resources that meta has.
it's easy to make, it just took the idea. once the idea is out there, many people will come to the same conclusions independently so might as well make the recipe public, at least you're putting everyone on a level playing field plus those who want to do it will do it anyways, so might as well not be petty and save them some time
i personally envy people who live off the grid, and completely disconnected (except for the basic supplies like electricity/water/medicine/pension). if they are not actively using internet, they are way safer than any modern human.
@@realracing3specter295 living Off-Grid means though what you mostly excluded. No reliance on the grid for electricity (you can use solar panels for that), water (use rainwater or a water well). Medicine sure you kinda need that Pension? There is will be no pension/retirement for our generation
@@CathrineMacNiel i do understand what off-grid actually means to its deeper context, but i deliberately added the clauses to keep connected to government and its schemes, such as water/power grid/some sort financial benefits from govt... for now i only wanted to show isolation from internet and mass media, and not actually becoming cave man for full isolated life.

I'm imagining that this could be used to create a real time subtitle system like in cyberpunk 2077, sadly this will most definitely be used for targeted marketing

I'm glad we don't have a social credit score in the U.S. that affects our ability to get jobs, housing, or transportation. We just have a regular credit score for that :)
The social credit score thing is a myth, it was rolled out in a couple of jurisdictions and then higher-ups told them to stop. Just regular old anti-China FUD.
Your normal credit score can prevent you from getting a job? But anyway, I feel like I should mention, the concept of a social credit score is a million times worse. Especially since it includes simply criticizing the government or any of these systems.

Will never understand why the minimalist monocular design of Google Glass was deemed "ugly", while huge chunky Wayfarer frames aren't. Maybe my aesthetic taste has been too influenced by sci-fi, but have been confused for the last 10 years since Glass
I still find it wild that people went from being privacy focused online (usernames not being real names, no personal pictures, etc), to just... putting it all out there. How did they not *know* this will happen? If someone in the past can relentlessly comb through all your personal information to find out who you are and where you live, of course computers will be able to automate and do it en mass in the future.
As a kid, I never put pictures of myself anywhere, and actively lied about my name, birthday, and other info, online all the time for this exact reason. Years of paranoia have finally paid off.
Normies entered the net. Like with all hobbies, it went big and became shit. If you have a hobby and you like it, GATEKEEP THE HELL OUT OF IT. The more people do you hobby, the worse it gets. This is a law of nature.
I'm glad you're pointing out the app behind the controversy. I feel like people are being distracted by the glasses form factor and not focusing on the real issue that is facial detection and public databases of personal info.
The app in question was never supposed to be released to the public. Its creators made it and then showcased it purely to prove that it can be done, in the hopes that governments will pass laws to prevent apps like it becoming available to the public. Of course if they could do it then so can others. Hopefully people in authority took notice.
@@DuckieMcduck True, but that is far more involved and people will notice if you walk up to them and wave your phone in their face. I am not blaming the glasses in any way here, just the App. An App that can pull that much data about a person without them knowing is dangerous.
Black mirror just means a screen. To experience it, turn off your phone, look at your black screen, wink at your reflection, come back to RU-vid, continue procrastinating. I chuckled at the “just mirror” though
The saddest thing about glasses like these is that I think they could theoretically be cool and have some really interesting things to do with them. Imagine going on a family vacation with them (or a 360 version) and being able to dump all the footage into something like photogrammetry after to create a full 3D capture of your vacation.
@@sajeucettefoistunevaspasme Would require making the glasses not being always-online highly connected devices or at least open sourcing the connectivity so people can control the data. I could see an open source version being designed but the main issue would be price at that point.
Tbf it was more than just that. The main worry was how easy it was to access those files stored by the service that may or may not hold sensitive information from the user. Us privacy-centered people were alarmed by the mere presence of Windows 11.
@@lorenzobuero7115 Yeah, but I'd argue it was the security risk that made the normies actually care, and thus have so many people up in arms. Otherwise we'd see outrage on that scale *every* time there was such obvious spyware being pitched rather the usual "lol I don't care if they have my data."
Yeah. another video on the topic had the sponsor right at the beginning, I realized it's just a giant infomercial for delete me. I stopped watching after that. FUD. Fear Uncertainty and Doubt and shilling /advertising has been present much longer than AI and social media.
@@nathan4678 scam. Deleteme cannot remove your data from internet, not from institutions that must have your data for a period of time and certainly not from the dark web where data of most of us most probably is or will be very soon, from countless and endless hacks here and there. They are just scammers. Stay vigilant on internet and in general when somebody texts you out of blue, or calls, and block ads, so these data brokers go out of business if enough population does it.
Taking non consensual photos and videos is already a big deal in places like Korea. I imagine the topic will end up with many private businesses and public spaces taking no filming/photoing a lot more seriously (or at least I hope so).
There is absolutely no way that thing is going to be allowed to sell here in the EU. Its existence is probably a vialoation of every single existing privacy law.
@@maxave7448 the whole point is that the thing is really just already existing technology wrapped up. There's no "secret sauce" here. You can buy it from stuff like app stores, but Im not sure it can go much further than that
Can't speak for Korea, but in the US there is no expectation of privacy anywhere where you're visible to the public. Not just out in the street, people have sued neighbors because the neighbor had a security camera that could see their back yard and they lost. This is unlikely to change and honestly isn't the root of the problem. We're willingly sharing way to much data. Stopping that means there's nothing for people to find.
that wouldn't be accurate since ai can't see through clothes. they could have a big scar on their chest and no one would know. you could probably create a simulation but that takes a lot of the punch out of it because it would be fake.
@@check9094Even if it was fake, it would be pretty harmful for your image to have a lot of videos of you naked on the internet, even though you wasn't truly naked there
This has always been possible but the reason it wasn’t mainstream was because of the complexity of the tasks. So we’re either a society that’ll welcome this with open arms or we need to regulate the PISS out of social media.
The problem is that in order to delete your data from those sites, you need to upload a selfi + an ID document to verify it. TBH, I don't trust them deleting my data at all. How do we know it's actually deleted? Just cuz they say it?
The best way to delete the data is to phish their admin's account info, then once you have access to an account install malware that sabotages the backups and deletes everything and replaces it with false information
Yeah that’s the biggest invasion of privacy I think I’ve ever seen. Now if I’m walking and someone is staring me in my eye with a 1/4”thick pair of ray ban wayfarers we might have a problem
@@UNcommonSenseAUS It's something to have a social media account but you can have multi social accounts and never share your real name and picture of your face, as well as real location, etc.
Even if you don't some government agency took a picture of you at some point. As this technology gets better and better nobody will be able to escape unless they live in the forest since they are born and have no IDs
You forget you don't need AI or glasses to do all this. Any picture taken with any source, you can just use the same spy app and download the persons info in 20 secs.
The point is that this enables person to do it on the fly and very stealthly. If a dude is filming my face by holding a camera 30cm in front of me, I may notice that rather quickly.
@@NineSun001 Sure but the bigger point is, if your face is on the internet this has been possible for years, all these kids did was build a smoother pipeline.
Just flip this shit around and ask yourself if you'd like every stranger you encounter on the subway to automatically know where you live? No? Ok, so let's not fucking do it maybe. Jfc we're so fucked.
on the bright side, you get to know where everyone else lives too. You might not care, they might not care, but because of this the cultural zeitgeist might change and people would be more open, respectful, etc cause we know more about eachother. Either that or we live in a worse police state who knows
Interestingly, zuckerberg was born in 1984, and you know the story behind that. Maybe "1984" came a bit late but still, coincidence? Kind of makes one wonder if something happened on Dec 21st 2012 that we won't see the effects of for a while. Speculation but interesting nonetheless.
@@divinecreation6 old people who congregate there literally don't give a fuck. until their money disappears by some scammer who used all the data for social engineering, but even then they won't connect the dots...
I feel the glasses are a bit more insidious though. If some guy held up his phone to you for a few seconds you'd probably wonder what it's about. But this can be done by somebody with glasses looking at you.
PoI basically showed us exactly how this would all go down over the next 10-20 years (not from now, from when it started in 2011 i.e. we're already most of the way there).
i hate when people say, i dont care i have nothing to hide i got bigger problems. But this ignorance is the fuel for evil and they dont know the endgame. Fools
So these glasses are for people who realize it's considered creepy to stick your phone camera in random people's faces, but still really want to stick a camera in random people's faces.
I think they will have the same effect on the quality of your social interactions as wearing Google glasses... (But FUckerberg don't care as he has no social interactions.)
@@EtcherDont need to fully converse with them but just get a glimpse of their face, probably for a few seconds and be on your mery way, to the victim it's normal because they're not thinking that "is he wearing smart rayband glasses!? He has my data!" they're probably thinking "Can't wait to get home.." I dont even think they have to directly be looking at you to indicate they're capturing your face, given that the camera is on the frame of the glasses, the wearer can simply walk by people and capture their faces with out directly looking at them with their eyes.
the one about that AI supercomputer? I saw some shorts about it. and now LLMs are like the one from Steinsgate 0 (don't remember the actual name, but saw some shorts about some awakening punch, and later watched some anime summary youtube video, it was awesome like it can happen with LLMs)
The future is NOW, thanks to SCIENCE! Specifically, the dystopian future we’ve all been terrified of and it’s less due to science and more due to corporate greed.
Agreed, there has likely been pretty much no real science involved in the making of this product. I can guarantee you this is a desperate cash grab to justify the billions they threw away for training those "AI" models. Tbh I wont be surprised if this thing meets the same fate as products like devin: extremely overhyped and forgotten after a week.

Just search "people connect suppression tool" to get to the tool to opt out of data sharing from Intelius and several related websites. You might also need to email them directly if the tool isn't working correctly (which was what happened to me). I tried to put the url and email in the comment, but RU-vid just automatically deletes the comment if I do that.
Search for "PeopleConnect - Suppression Center" and you can opt of data sharing from several related data brokers. (Sorry, but I cannot post the url because it causes the comment to be automatically deleted.)
I guess you should be concerned mainly if you live in the US. Unfortunately some of these solutions actually require you to send them a photo of your face and a photo of your ID. Search for "1iWCqmaOUKhKjcKSktIwC3NNANoFP7vPsRvcbOIup_BA", it's a google docs file link. Can't pass it straight in the comment.
Yeah, dystopia is coming closer at light's speed. I spent my life acquiring skills, from PhDs in mechanical engineering, to coding, to learning many languages to pretty decent fluency, such as English, French and Japanese (Swiss/German/Finnish native), to drawing, composing music, 3d modeling and rendering, animating, to other more or less obscure things like business/markets and the list goes on. But at this point, with all the wonderful horrors waiting in the future to rip every last shred of meaning from our daily struggles, I feel like "cooking", "tailoring" and "taking care of my fitness" are about the most useful. I have never hated and loved something as much at the same time as I do this whole AI revolution.
You'd think with all that education you would have realised at this stage that the "AI revolution" as you call it is just a bubble. Apart from writing pretty decent boiler plate code I have yet to actually see anything impressive from AI. It's been nearly two years now and so far no apocalypse, no singularity, no job losses, no developers "replaced by AI", just a load of tech companies seeing a 10x increase in their value as they "pivot" towards AI. Makes me want to vomit. I used to love this industry. Now its just filled with a load of shills and snake-oil merchants.
@@Etcher While I think AI will revolutionize a lot of things and already did, I miss the old era of tech. A lot of snake oil salesmen as you said, crypto “enthusiasts”, smartphone “upgrades” used as status symbols. There used to be a lot of uncharted territories, maybe still is, idk. Maybe I’m nostalgic for the past.
"Don't go outside where a CCTV camera can see you" so, stay inside forever I guess. Those cameras slowly but surely kept growing in numbers over the years and now there is at least 1 on every street. EU here btw.
-The glasses can do live language translation -Imagine if they can tell you a person's social credit score just from a glance These features are literally the core gameplay features of Cyberpunk 2077.
What would happen if you were listening to Prisencolinensineinciusal, while wearing these glasses? A song that is complete gibberish, but made to sound like it is Englsih.
Tesla did the same with electric cars - they were bizzare looking before that, but tesla went down the route of making them look just like any regular car. Same like the meta Ray Ban glasses
2:18 sounds to me like glasses with a camera aren't the issue, but rather people putting way too much private info of themselves online, coupled with public databases being the issue.
Before, you'd still need their photo at least to do reverse image search. That's where these glasses come in, they can record it in realtime without them knowing it. People won't be okay with it if you randomly took out your phone and make a picture of someone. But with these glasses, they won't notice it at all or too late.
facebook makes profiles on you even if you did not make a facebook profile. These glasses will just allow them to do it in real life instead of the internet. Google also knows about you because your family members have contact lists which are synced to google cloud, not to forgot the photos they make of you. As someone else has said, victim blaming.
I would say yes and no. First, if you haven't already, Google your name, or upload a picture of your face to Pimeyes and see what comes up. You'll probably get two or three hits related to your school or work. For me, I needed to have a public LinkedIn profile with my face in order to get the job I have. Some of the pictures posted of me by my school weren't necessarily done with my consent. But, this is enough information to glean what someone does for a living, about how old they are based on graduating class, probably they're hometown or recent addresses. The basic information attached to your face is enough to get a really good start on sussing out your identity and maybe even some characteristics that could break passwords or answer security questions, and this is not coming from someone who blabes about their life on social media, this is just the bare minimum amount of data that most people have available in order to operate in daily life
Yeah, imagine getting out of prison after commiting a minor offense, trying to start a new chapter in life, only to be branded a monstrous criminal for life because people can now instantly access your entire personal records.
@@patricklarosefor what has been provided, yes. That doesn't mean you should become complacent and start sharing with impunity. People age, change looks, change addresses, marry, divorce, have kids, switch ideologies, etc. You don't have to offer that information to said companies. In fact, you should probably offer false information.
It's not just FB. All these big players think the future is for them to get YOUR data, look through it, and do the thinking for you. In exchange for YOUR data. It's insane that people are actually willing to participate, but the great majority do, without second thought.
You don't need glasses to do this, you could just take a picture of a person with any camera, such as a phone. In fact, I'm not even sure if the glasses make it any easier.
maybe slightly less conspicuous than brandishing your phone in someone's face then staring at it plus if the thing becomes fast enough it can put little info cards on everyone in real time without input
@@yjlom Phone is less conspicuous than wearing huge dork glasses. Everyone whips there phone out randomly already. Without the flash on, you can't tell if they are photographing you or just looking something up on their screen while facing your general direction. The massive glasses are a dead giveaway they are some tech weirdo.
@@DrD0000M They did this with the Ray Bans, _not_ the prototype "Orion" glasses. The Ray Bans look like "normal looking glasses" (except you can see the lens). (but you do still need a phone if that's what you mean, it's not all onboard yet)
