Meta Is Warned That Facial Recognition Glasses Will Arm Sexual Predators More than 70 organizations, including the ACLU, EPIC, and Fight for the Future, say the AI smart glasses feature would endanger abuse victims, immigrants, and LGBTQ+ people.

More than *70* orgs are warning Meta that integrating facial recognition into smart glasses is a terrible, dangerous idea.

Five years from now, when the consequences are abundantly clear and prevalent, people will point at this warning (as has happened with Meta and Big Tech, time and time again):

Which makes it all the more gutting when it doesn’t click. We’ll regret not adding a striker in January, it’s probably going to be the difference between auto promotion and the playoffs.

But, in short, it’s nice to feel something. Even when it’s agony as another easy chance gets shanked. UTB.

Trying to put Boro’s recent run of form into perspective - since the last promotion/relegation, we’ve seen a couple of really bad Boro teams, but mainly just dull-to-the-point-of-apathy Boro teams.

There’s so much joy in this Boro team, so much potential when it clicks…

Honestly man, I always felt this season was a free hit after the Edwards fiasco - so playoffs is fine. But my god it’s hard watching us just chuck it away so carelessly.

Can Jonah Peretti Save BuzzFeed From Extinction?

Media business stories about the health of a company and don't speak to media buyers or advertisers—the companies that pay the bills—are missed opportunities to inform readers.

Which always makes me wonder why these stories are produced.

Meta admits revenue from fraud and scam ads 'might' have accounted for 3-4% of total revenue At LEAD, Meta's Rima Amin disputed a November Reuters report of an internal document that said Meta earned 10% of its 2024 revenue from scam ads. The lower figure would still account for $5bn to $7bn in revenue.

“It’s higher than we would like it to be,”...

Great wrap of this LEAD panel from @jackcarterbenjamin.bsky.social - well worth a read.

I am extremely confused as to why the UK government and police are saying Grok’s mass-scale CSAM generation is an issue for Ofcom.

This isn’t about X failing to moderate CSAM, which is an Online Safety Act issue. It is about the company and its technology being actively involved in its generation.

This feels like a massive capitulation, an admission that IP holders are fighting a battle with AI scrapers that simply can't be won.

On the other hand, that Star Wars sequel I wrote when I was 7 might finally see the light of day...

Swings and roundabouts.

To him, the zenith of LLM technology is to help people be offensive at parties.
