| [stub for offtopicness] p.s. come on you guys - this is not what HN is for. You may not owe $megacorp better but you owe this community better if you're participating here. |

| Feels like the premise for a spy comedy with a protagonist whose mind can’t be read. When the bad guys try they just get the lyrics to Yoko Ono music. |

| @dang How is this offtopic? Meta has shown remarkable disregard to users' and employees' privacy. Why should that not come up when discussing an entirely new dystopian technology that allows them to invade privacy at scale? |

| Any minute: wear it permanently to sell training data on LLMs. Take an audited IQ test to negotiate your rate. Better than text-stripping the internet - this thing will soon be pulling the logits as well. |

| ▲ | NiloCK 5 hours ago | parent [-] | | Great respect to site guidelines, and to you. Object on both counts. 1. The post was obviously bullish / optimistic on the technical capabilities. Not in the least dismissive. 2. The economics extrapolation is obvious. See current precedent for paid access for purchased screen-casts of dev work: https://pdoom.org/open_calls/04_crowd_cast.html |

| ▲ | throwawalien 6 hours ago | parent [-] | | if you think they're going to pay people for their data you haven't been paying attention they'll just put it buried on page 450 of the meta glasses 3 or something | | |
| ▲ | UltraSane 5 hours ago | parent [-] | | They are already paying scarce labor like medical doctors and lawyers hundreds of dollars an hour to create training data. The RoI for training data is high because it can be used to train many models. |
