Hello everyone. A warning before you start. This week’s issue is very long, so keep it for a quiet moment.The cameras were the theme this week. More than 70 people sued Meta because the video from its smart glasses, including people in the bathroom and in bed, went to contract workers in Kenya to train the AI, and somebody answered that with an app called ZuckOff that warns you when a pair of those glasses is near you.

Hello everyone. This issue is late and I am sorry. I had to go out of town, and I did not send a separate email about the delay because I did not want to send you one more email.
