The light turns on every time you record a picture or video, so there’s no hiding when you’re capturing content. But the clever thing is that Meta says that if anyone tries to cover up the light, it will block the glasses from recording altogether.

Given the use of the word "swap" in this context it seems more like a faster version of what you've been able to with Photoshop for ages where you just take a bunch of pictures then pick and choose the best faces since no one got it right in one picture. The only "AI" would be face detection and making the background consistent. Like even from the kinda out-of-context time cropping it's clear that it's working off of a series of photos. stringless has issued a correction as of 11:29 on Sep 30, 2023 |

The only "AI" would be face detection and making the background consistent. It's still creating an alternate reality, and the use of the word "AI" tells you it won't stop there. Taken in a vacuum it may not be a big deal, but look at it as part of a trajectory - not just in society or Silicon Valley, but even within Google itself. It wasn't that long ago that Google was proudly posting blog posts saying that these days it does not search for your search terms but uses AI to decide what to show you instead. Technically it may be a bigger step, but ideologically it's a very small step between "edit photos by splicing together expressions from different photos in order to make a nicer reality" to "just use image generation to edit someone's face" or edit reality in general. Hell, every modern phone advertises AI in cameras, and it edits pics. And looks poo poo.

composition and focus alone meant that photography was never an unbiased, complete snapshot of a moment in the first place. the posters complaining about this creating a fake reality already are putting too much faith in the truth of photos. swapping faces is done by professionals and skilled amateurs already, and this AI feature is part of the process of deskilling them this is a change in quantity, not of quality when it comes to the artifice of a photograph

my concern would be the resource and energy inputs of rolling out more and more features like this. fine if it's happening locally on your device, but if this is happening in data centers? lol

(large data centres from hyperscalers are likely to have a cleaner energy mix than most people’s homes, I think)

"Hey, remember that corporate memo that was sent out where we said we committed crimes? Wouldn't it be great if we could just *snip snip* and change those incriminating words into non-incriminating words? Of course, I don't mean that a HUMAN would do this...we should just set up an AI to wander through our corporate database to make sure there's no legal exposure on any of our stored data. Since AI is a proven technology, we're just doing this to make sure our corporate records are ACCURATE." This is what everyone defending AI image modification sounds like. It doesn't matter if it happens on the original device capturing the data or in a datacenter somewhere. It's mangling of data. Objective truth is dead, long live objective truth.

I get your argument. AI isn't even an entirely new technology, it's just that the application of it has skyrocketed, and that doesn't necessarily mean it's a bad thing. After all, we don't use use phone operators to connect our calls anymore, or a myriad of other examples. Still, the speed at which AI application is developing and is being implemented is definitely cause for concern, because it's going so fast there's simply no way for society, regulation, etc. can adapt and protect itself and that's what's scaring people. It's genuinely unnerving to see how fast it's gone from new (form/application of) technology > actual application > media taking notice and glorifying it > oh poo poo it might actually have unintended consequences > oh poo poo there's a huge potential of abuse > oh poo poo that abuse is actually happening. It's literally only been a couple of years for this poo poo to blow up the way it has and we've got self-driving cars killing people, entire industries rightly going on strike to protect themselves, etc., and I think it's more than reasonable for people to be cautious and fearful even when it comes to rather benign seeming applications like this one because it wouldn't be the first time that a seemingly benign development turned out to be disastrous. Back in the days, a new technology would take years/decades to disrupt an industry, giving people and society time to adapt, and it happened in a society where there was an actual (more or less) opportunity to adapt. I feel like that's not the case now. With as little protection workers get, the degree of specialization asked for now to be successful and the greed of the elite/silicon valley AI development is a genuine concern. Reading this thread always makes me glad that my line of work is literally impossible to be taken over by or even significantly influenced by AI.

Having any dipshit be able to fabricate whatever bullshit they want is going to make poo poo way worse

Yeah but why just change it with other pictures of your dorky kids. While your in their changing things why not replace your kids with better quality kids than your own lovely ragtag kids. Every photo can then be you with the perfect family that you'll have no way of having in real life!

Half-wit posted:"Hey, remember that corporate memo that was sent out where we said we committed crimes? Wouldn't it be great if we could just *snip snip* and change those incriminating words into non-incriminating words? Companies subverting the courts by manipulating their records isn't a matter of technology. They did that before AI, AI would just allow a smaller numbers of workers to do the same job. The banks didn't need "AI" to evict thousands of people in the US with legally dubious paperwork in 2008, that was a political decision backed up by the state. The specter of AI is heightening contradictions, not producing new ones. In many ways it seems to be a distraction, with people blaming the new technology for preexisting issues. Rapid disruption is what capitalism needs to survive. With the West losing it's ability to inflict that damage on other parts of the world, we're seeing that disruption more and more "at home." quote:The bourgeoisie cannot exist without constantly revolutionising the instruments of production, and thereby the relations of production, and with them the whole relations of society. Conservation of the old modes of production in unaltered form, was, on the contrary, the first condition of existence for all earlier industrial classes. Constant revolutionising of production, uninterrupted disturbance of all social conditions, everlasting uncertainty and agitation distinguish the bourgeois epoch from all earlier ones. All fixed, fast-frozen relations, with their train of ancient and venerable prejudices and opinions, are swept away, all new-formed ones become antiquated before they can ossify. All that is solid melts into air, all that is holy is profaned, and man is at last compelled to face with sober senses his real conditions of life, and his relations with his kind.
