I had an appliance delivered from Home Depot, and after it was installed, the person mentioned he had Meta glasses on. I didn't realize the whole time he was wearing them in my home, because I didn't know what they looked like. I felt uneasy.


I recently noticed that there are a ton of gig jobs (like this https://newyork.craigslist.org/brk/lbg/d/brooklyn-office-err...) that pay manual laborers to do their ordinary work with a wearable in order to train world/vision/robotics models. So expect a lot more of this horrifying intrusion unless the cutlure shifts.


And to be clear, I would be uneasy with this being made by any company, but I am quadruple uneasy with it being fucking Meta. Fuck meta, fuck Facebook, fuck their shitty business model and their algorithm.

Most companies I can give like, they make SOME good shit. Even Google. Not Meta, our entire civilization would be better off if we shoved all their bullshit into an ocean.
