#Meta executives initially denied the existence of a #facialrecognition feature, #NameTag, in their #AIGlasses. However, CTO Andrew Bosworth later described the feature in detail, contradicting previous statements. The feature, which would be encrypted and localised to the user’s device, aims to help users remember people they’ve met, addressing the “cocktail party problem.“ https://futurism.com/artificial-intelligence/meta-exec-describes-facial-recognition-feature?Metaver.se #Metaverse #VirtualWorlds #XR #VR #MR #AR #BeyondPictures

@energisch_@troet.cafe @mschomm@bonn.social @lutz_@bildung.social @energy_charts_d@wisskomm.social Womit wir bei dem Thema wären: "Was haben wir die letzten Jahre sehenden Auges alles untätig auf uns zukommen lassen" ... https://www.ardmediathek.de/video/brennpunkt/hitze-in-deutschland/das-erste/Y3JpZDovL3dkci5kZS9CZWl0cmFnLXNvcGhvcmEtMzFmY2QxNTQtMDA3MS00NjFkLTllMDgtZjM5NWM0YWNiMzYw Nein, der Klimawandel ist seit Jahrzehnten bekannt, auch seine Intensität & die Folgen ziemlich gut prognostiziert und kommuniziert. Und dank der #FridaysForFuture-Massendemos kann niemand sagen, das nicht mitbekommen zu haben. Aktivierungs- und Alarmierungs-Versuche von #XR #LG etc. wurden ignoriert. ☹️

"Disobey with money & data" "#AI and the banks which finance fossil fuels and heavy carbon technology are wrecking our climate and our future. But by acting collectively we can challenge these systems and end their dominance. Join #XRUK’s third #Disobey talk on Wednesday, June 10th, 6-7pm, to discover practical steps we can take against internet and financial giants. We’ll begin by exploring how our money and our data are currently being used to sustain harmful systems. Sam Price, from Switched and the Better Bank campaign will share a roadmap for ditching climate criminal banks and switching to ethical alternatives. Learn how moving your money is a powerful act of disobedience that disrupts the flow of capital to destructive industries. Dylan Orchard, a PhD researcher specialising in everyday resistance, will describe how we can resist AI impositions in our daily lives. From navigating algorithmic bias in education to avoiding fake chatbots, he will share effective tactics to reclaim our agency from AI dominance. Learn how to withdraw your funding and your data - and join the shift away from AI and financial exploitation." https://actionnetwork.org/event_campaigns/disobey-talk-series #ExtinctionRebellion #XR #Activism #ClimateAction
