MIT Reveals Roomba Vacuum Recorded Woman On The Toilet – Then the Images Ended Up on Facebook

A new finding from MIT Technology Review may make you second guess getting dressed in front of your Roomba vacuum.

Investigative journalist Eileen Guo revealed images of a woman sitting on a toilet found their way on Facebook after being captured from a Roomba J7.

iRobot the company that produces the robotic vacuum in a statement revealed the Roomba J7 vacuums were  “special development robots with hardware and software modifications that are not and never were present on iRobot consumer products for purchase,”

The tech company would continue and say the J7 Roombas were  only given to “paid collectors and employees who signed written agreements acknowledging that they were sending data streams, including video, back to the company for training purposes.”

I spent months unraveling where these video stills came from, how they got online, and what their existence + sharing says about the state of privacy today.

So, how did the images taken by the J7 Roomba vacumn make its way on the web?

The images taken by the Roomba were sent to Scale AI, a tech startup that hires workers around the globe to help train AI.

Per the Entreprenuer, the AI Scale contract workers based in Venezeula posted the picture of the woman on the toilet in a private group on Facebook and Discord.

iRobot has since terminated its contract with the contractors who were responsible for “leaking” the images.

“The revolution is still not going to be televised.” “If there is going to be…[a] mechanism to bring the military in to stabilize society and to prove the fraud, then that is going to happen this week.”@MatthewTyrmand from Brazil on Bannon this evening pic.twitter.com/mp7uTAjYBv

We’ve learned that the enemy of Brazil’s President Bolsonaro is dressing up as Bolsonaro followers and doing things that Bolsonaro supporters would never do.  This is similar to reports of left-wing communists in the US who showed up at the US Capitol on Jan 6 dressed as Trump supporters.

The crowds showing up in support of Bolsonaro are huge.  Are there any people who voted for the communist criminal Lula?

El Presidente Jair Bolsonaro; ha confirmado que el es el Jefe de las fuerzas Armadas y las Fuerzas Armadas lo respaldan.
Y están con el pueblo Brasileño.
