Many people fear that a corrupt or authoritarian regime might misuse data to cause harm. However, the reality is that such regimes tend to carry out harmful actions regardless of the data they collect. Data can make…
I disagree with this sentiment. Form factor has been the driving force behind the adoption of computing devices throughout history—look at the PC or the smartphone. Each one marked a new era. Glasses seem like the…
Crypto literally cannot be stopped, turned off, banned, or otherwise censored. That is its entire purpose and design. Whether that is good or bad is a different question. (Yes, crypto can be regulated. Of course it can.…
Moreover, Wikipedia relies heavily on news articles as sources. It goes without saying that news outlets are not well known for holding neutral positions.
Frankly, it needs to be in the very first sentence of the article. Acronyms Seriously Suck.
Meta only lost income and credibility from that scandal, unless you believe the data breach was conspiratorial.
We've moved on to a different moral panic
Selling 20 million Quest 2 headsets is a pretty good outcome for the so-called Metaverse fiasco.
Let's not so eagerly prescribe the use of nascent technology.
That is plainly what they are trying to accomplish with VR.
Does AI/ML not unlock value for the Metaverse? Also, the layoffs are set to prioritize recruiting, management, and business personnel. That seems to go against the idea that they are switching to an MBA-led approach.

I thought of a few interesting (speculative) use cases: - Treat photosensitive epilepsy by filtering incoming visual stimuli - Improve vision for cases not treatable with typical lenses - Use eye-tracking to assist with…
Newspaper— wait, radio— wait, tv— wait, social media is going to control the world.
It sounds like a joke, but despite public opinion, Meta is one of the top AI research groups in the world.
> everybody jumping from the bridge should be a strong indicator of what to do. Not jump from the bridge?
Regulators could kill several birds with one stone and allow alternative app markets on iOS devices.
What basis do you have for this claim? Screens strapped to faces seems immediately preferable, if only for discrete viewing. Why do you think phones won out against televisions?
No. These problems would certainly exist even if Facebook never did. Like I said, Facebook could be dismantled by regulators today. It won't do anything. Do you think Facebook or other social media are the main…
Just as with Facebook it seems I am guilty until proven innocent. If you want to believe that they intentionally enabled genocide in a foreign country with politics that neither of us could likely begin to understand,…
How about we start with the claim from the recent leaks that they cause depression or body image issues? The leaked document in question [1] should be considered for further research, but it is hardly evidence of this…
My intentions were clear in my first post - legislation will be the deciding factor. This back and forth is meaningless.
I am interested in the virtual reality space, and started posting because I was frustrated by the spread of misinformation/propaganda. Ironically, there is a lot of misinformation about Facebook. I'm sure my…
It's funny because Zuckerberg isn't even a public figure. I'm sure someone will make some ethical claim, but I've read all the articles and they are hardly conclusive. It's probably better to just wait for a regulatory…
Apparently so is HN
