This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Judge Carolyn Kuhl, who is presiding over the trial, ordered anyone in the courtroom wearing AI glasses to immediately remove them, noting that any use of facial recognition technology to identify the jurors was banned.
"This is very serious," she said.
Holy shit.
Kudos to this judge for knowing their shit and acting on it. I love it.
I mean.... That's their job... But yes!
That’s their job
Is it though? In Donald's America?
Oh sorry... I guess I was projecting...
Each and every individual should have been arrested then and there. Imagine walking into a major criminal trial with a film camera on your shoulder.
No charges?
Isn't it usual procedure that everyone else enters the courtroom and takes their places before the judge walks in? So the team would have had ample opportunity to film, record and facially-recognize the jury before Judge Kuhl made them take off the spyglasses.
He put them in jail, right? RIGHT?
The fucking hubris. I’m so sick of it.
Scolding without jailtime = slap on wrist.
a small amount of jailtime is a slap on the wrist. A scolding is nothing.
I think even a small jailtime would be pretty serious. Provided he can't buy himself out. A fine would be a slap on the wrist*. A scolding is just that - something certain people have learned very early to ignore.
* depends on the amount of course
A demand for removal and threat of being held in contempt seems like the appropriate response to bringing a camera in, no matter who you are.
It does matter who they are!
The judge said not to bring something in and they clearly ignored the judge's directions and it is their job to comply with the judge's directions. They are not some random person off the street.
This feels like gorilla marketing to me. They knew the judge would tell them to take them off and it would be just enough of a sensational story to make it to press. Now more people know that Meta has these glasses.
Edit: I'm not changing it. The responses to my mistake are too funny
Meta's glasses, retail for between $299 and $799, are equipped with a camera that can take photos and record video.
CBS is definitely involved in this gorilla scheme
Gorilla marketing, when you charge at someone and stop right before you fuck them up and then offer to sell them something.
The return of the glassholes
Step one being "make the judge mad" is a bad idea.
Yea, he better watch out or he's gonna get a $6000 fine instead of $5000.
I always looked down on two party consent states, but now with the spyware glasses freaks? I'm less sure than ever.
I mean, I think I should be legally allowed to punch people in the face breaking the glasses just for wearing them, but this isn't a just world~
When google glass came out (2012 or 13) it was absolutely hilarious living in the bay and regularly riding muni (public bus) in the mission. I saw multiple people run into the door/poles/etc and also multiple people get their glasses ripped off their face and stomped on. Bus driver just shrugged, bus patrons applauded. I'm no luddite and all for technology but even more for consent.
