A Friday news dump from yours truly: I called Be My Eyes CEO @MikeBuckleySF to pick his brain about the recently-announced collab with Meta and the Ray-Ban smart glasses. Amongst other things, Buckley said Meta CTO @boztank was key to the whole thing. forbes.com/sites/stevenaq…
@BeMyEyes are working with @Microsoft to train AI on more relevant disability data. but what does it all mean? I'll be talking to @MikeBuckleySF and @jennylayfluffy on #DoubleTap today. bemyeyes.com/blog/be-my-eye…
Proud of this work to improve disability representation in the datasets used to train AI. Our new collaboration will broaden the diversity of AI data, and help make AI more useful for the blind and low vision community. blogs.microsoft.com/on-the-issues/…

This is awesome, Blind friends, check it out! Be My AI, the world’s first #AI visual assistant for people who are #blind or have low vision, is now available on any @Windows 10/11 PC through the @Microsoft Store, for #free. @BeMyEyes @MikeBuckleySF bemyeyes.com/blog/be-my-eye…
The language of accessibility matters. Here is a guide to talking blindness from @BeMyEyesVice Chair, Bryan Bashin. #GAAD bemyeyes.com/blog/be-my-eye…
When discussing blindness or people who are blind, what are some "no-nos"? What language needs to be avoided, embraced, retired?
My favorite use of GPT-4o AI already helps a lot with accessibility and this is another level
So @BeMyEyes has been privately playing with advanced access to @OpenAI's new GPT-4o model. It's pretty awesome and here is some video proof. Thank you to the OpenAI team including @JessicaShieh, for your partnership.youtube.com/watch?v=KwNUJ6…

I highly recommend joining the @BeMyEyes app. Today, I helped a man find a show on Disney+ (super kitties?) as his kids waited to watch. So fulfilling to help! #bemyeyes #disability

@BeMyEyes Absolutely brilliant. I got exactly what I wanted from the vending machine. Grandma’s brownies. #BeMyEyes share.bemyeyes.com/chat/d3jt7ghbtT
Finding the actual phone number or way to contact a business is being made intentionally difficult by many companies. This serves as a brilliant tool to get this info quickly, with one common interface. Very cool feature and it will only get better I'm sure.
