Oh, so technology is causing problems?
Who could have foreseen such a thing?
This pernicious program is every stalker’s dream.
Two Harvard students developed a program for Ray-Ban’s Meta smart glasses that can be used to identify an individual and obtain access to their personal information, including a home address.
AnhPhu Nguyen and Caine Ardayfio, who are engineering students at the Ivy League school, posted a chilling demonstration of what their program, dubbed I-Xray, can do.
“Some dude could just find some girl’s home address on the train and just follow them home,” Nguyen told 404 Media about the sinister potential of the specs.
Based.
Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses can record up to three minutes of video.
The I-Xray program works by uploading the footage from the glasses to PimEyes, a facial recognition tool that uses AI to match a recorded face to any publicly available images on the internet.
I-Xray then prompts another AI tool that scours public databases to retrieve personal details about the individual in the image, including their name, address, phone number and even information about relatives.
This information is then sent to the I-Xray mobile app.
In the video, posted to X Monday, Nguyen and Ardayfio are seen identifying classmates in real-time and approaching strangers in public using information I-Xray gathered to act as if they know them.
However, Nguyen and Ardayfio clarified that they are not releasing the program, and say they only created it to “highlight [the] significant privacy concerns” associated with the Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses.
“The purpose of building this tool is not for misuse, and we are not releasing it,” the pair noted.
To limit exposure to bad actors using the Meta smart glasses, Nguyen and Ardayfio released step-by-step instructions to help people remove themselves from the public databases that the engineers used to obtain the personal information.
404 Media has reported that “both Meta and PimEyes seemed to downplay the privacy risks” in the past.
It’s not clear what people complaining about these things want. It’s like the fat Luddite commie dockworkers, apparently. Technologies are supposed to be suppressed in order to maintain the status quo – even while the status quo itself is in large part the result of unfettered technological development.
Maybe certain technology can or should be suppressed or outlawed, but you would have to take a wholistic view of the technological landscape. You can’t just demand port inefficiency so fat commies can suck more and more out of the public trust. Unless these slobs at the dock are simply greedy (they are), then there is a bigger problem with resource distribution that needs to be addressed.
Just so, stalking a woman you see in public to her home is something that has always been possible, so claiming that glasses that make that easier are a threat is a meaningless assertion. If there is a problem with men stalking women, that’s what needs to be addressed, not glasses that make it slightly easier.
The normies will love these
