'Zuckoff' App Detects Meta Smartglasses, as Meta Plans Camera-Free Version, Loses Money, and Offers Social Media Subscriptions

The New York Post reports:

A new app called Zuckoff can detect if a user is near someone with Meta's creepy AI-powered glasses, which have drawn criticism for enabling creeps to record video of women without their consent. Programmer Pawel Szydlowski says tales of dirtbags recording themselves perving on women or harassing strangers prompted him to launch the app...

Zuckoff — which detects Bluetooth signatures broadcast by smart glasses and can estimate their distance — has gained some 5,000 users since it hit Apple's App Store last month, according to Business Insider. "There's a need for such an application," the 30-year-old Polish techie told the outlet, adding that European Union regulators have contacted him for more info about his app. "We as a society have the right to at least know that someone is recording," Szydlowski said...

Earlier this month, the tech giant disabled thousands of glasses it found had been tampered with to keep a small light off that indicates the device is recording.
It's already #77 on the iPhone's list of best-selling utilities apps.
In a related story, "After accusations of selling 'perv glasses,' Meta prepares to sell a pair without a camera," writes TechCrunch, citing a report from The Information.


The glasses include six built-in microphones so users can communicate with the chatbot, as well as a button on the side of the glasses that, when pressed, activates the AI system... Meta's Reality Labs, which is responsible for developing its smart glasses line, is still losing a gargantuan amount of money, as its earnings report from April revealed.

In fact, Meta stock is off 13% over the last 12 months, reports Yahoo Finance. So Tuesday Meta announced subscription services for its social apps as "part of Meta's push to drive additional revenue from the billions it's investing in AI data centers and model development."

The plans, which start at $2.99 per month for single-product plans, $7.99 for individual bundles, and $14.99 for creator and business bundles, provide a number of features for users looking to get more out of their Instagram, Facebook, and WhatsApp accounts. Instagram Plus and Facebook Plus allow users to keep their stories up for 48 hours instead of 24, send animated super reactions and super hearts to stories, preview stories without showing up as a viewer in other users' lists, and more. WhatsApp Plus lets you share exclusive stickers, get exclusive ringtones for contacts, and pin up to 20 different chats.

Meta One also includes Core and Premium user plans that offer the features found in the single-product plans, along with increased AI usage limits for images and videos. The social media giant is also offering creator and business plans... that it says include capabilities such as enhanced profiles, automatic follow invitations to users that interact with your content, and increased access to the Meta Business Agent, which can respond on your behalf.





When Instagram head Adam Mosseri announced on Threads that the plans brought "more features and more AI across Instagram, WhatsApp, Facebook, and Meta AI," writer Joe Hill drew 13,300 likes for his response. "That's sweet--so pay a fee, get more AI, pay nothing, get a little less AI. Can we work out a deal where you pay ME and I get no AI at all?"

Cabinepersoneel easyJet in Portugal gaat staken

LISSABON (ANP/RTR) - Cabinemedewerkers van de Britse luchtvaartmaatschappij easyJet in Portugal hebben donderdag ingestemd met stakingen omdat ze betere arbeidsvoorwaarden willen. Volgens de vakbond SNPVAC zal dan tussen 2 en 6 oktober het werk worden neergelegd en ook tussen 19 en 23 december.

Door die eerste staking komen naar verwachting wel vijfhonderd vluchten van en naar de luchthavens van Lissabon, Porto en Faro te vervallen, aldus de bond. De impact van de tweede staking kan nog groter zijn vanwege de drukte met de feestdagenperiode.

SNPVAC zegt dat de werkomstandigheden voor Portugees cabinepersoneel bij de budgetvlieger blijven verslechteren ondanks waarschuwingen aan het adres van easyJet. De klachten draaien om roosters, druk om overuren te draaien door personeelstekorten en andere zaken. In het verleden is al vaker gestaakt door het cabinepersoneel uit onvrede over de arbeidsomstandigheden.


Nederlandse EP'ers positief over innige samenwerking EU-Canada

STRAATSBURG (ANP) - Nederlandse Europarlementariërs van D66, CDA, VVD, PRO en Volt reageren uiterst positief op de speech van de Canadese premier Mark Carney donderdag in het Europees Parlement. Daarin zei Carney het voorstel van EU-commissievoorzitter Ursula von der Leyen te verwelkomen om van Canada het eerste "geassocieerde lid" van de EU te maken. D66-voorman Gerben-Jan Gerbrandy noemt het een "historisch moment".

"Hier is voor onze ogen geschiedenis geschreven", zegt Gerbrandy. "Hoe je deze samenwerking ook wilt noemen, hier wordt een alliantie gesmeed voor goede en slechte tijden. Met de Canadezen neemt ons vermogen toe om zelf ons lot te bepalen. Onafhankelijk van Rusland, China of de VS. Historisch."

PRO is blij dat de banden met Canada worden aangehaald, zegt Thijs Reuten. "Dit is een vernieuwende stap om onze geopolitieke positie te versterken", zei Reuten.

'Zelfde waarden'

"Juist omdat de wereld zo snel verandert, moeten we als Europa en Canada meer samenwerken", vindt CDA'er Ingeborg ter Laak.

Dat vindt ook Volt. "Dit is het moment voor Canada en Europa om samen op te trekken. We delen dezelfde waarden en staan voor democratie, vrijheid en een sterke internationale rechtsorde", zegt Anna Strolenberg.

'Historisch'

"Deze speech gaat de boeken in als historisch, omdat het de wereldorde vormgeeft die gaat komen", zegt VVD'er Bart Groothuis. "Europa en Canada zullen vrijheid en waardigheid verdedigen en bouwen aan een betere wereld."

Het is overigens nog onduidelijk hoe zo'n geassocieerd lidmaatschap eruit komt te zien. In haar State of the Union heeft Von der Leyen daar verder niets over gezegd.
