Meta, the parent company of Mark Zuckerberg's Facebook and Instagram social media platforms, is readying to unleash a nightmarish new lineup of wearable artificial intelligence (AI) accessories.In Zuckerberg's vision for the world, everyone is connected to his own tech, which is designed to turn you into a fake pod person just like him. He is calling his dream "Camerabuds," and it aims to combine "audio, video, and AI to form the ultimate surveillance capitalism data gathering tool," according to Breitbart News.
Meta is said to be in the process right this moment of developing AI-powered earphones or earbuds that contain hidden cameras. These cameras are reportedly codenamed "Camerabuds."
Again from Breitbart, Camerabuds "are designed to leverage AI capabilities for real-time object identification and foreign-language translation, potentially revolutionizing how users interact with their surroundings, and providing Meta with an incredible amount of data about the personal lives of wearers – and anyone they come in contact with."
