Zuck should go a step further and have employees wear full-body sensor suits and motion capture cameras all day, even at home. Massively valuable 3D AI model training for $META.

Scoop! Meta staff are outraged over a new program that trains AI off their keystrokes and mouse movements. “This makes me super uncomfortable. How do we opt out?” was the top-rated comment in response. “There is no option to opt out,” Boz wrote to a slew of angry-face emojis. [im…

Meta is installing new tracking software on U.S.-based employees' computers to capture mouse movements, clicks, and keystrokes for training its AI. Is this the beginning of the end of the human worker era? There is no privacy while the AI is being trained to do what you are

I am the Senior Director of Workforce Intelligence at Meta. I want to be clear about what we're doing...This is not surveillance. This is training data...Every employee consented to this...Everyone signs it. Nobody reads it. That's the design.

Yes they are. 3/3 devs at Meta who I asked how they feel about this change all said they are outraged. Not heard either of them be this negative about the company before. One is looking for off-ramp options. This is the stuff ONLY outsourcing agencies did w their devs till now

As I have been saying, the race to capture every single piece of context in the organization is on. Some companies will be more aggressive than others But they are coming for your context. And by carrot or by stick, they will get it [image]

They are using their workers to train their AI and replace them. Utterly cringe and dystopian.

Smell that? It's the fake email jobs going the way of the dodo. Slowly and then all at once. The first ten companies to do this will publish some crazy stat like “20% of employees do 99% of productive knowledge work” and next thing you know every public company CEO will be ins…

Partly to train the bots how to navigate pulldowns. Also, I suspect being able to see the order of operations of user actions (not just the finished content) would allow you to pull together individual tasks into a flow — it's kind of the sinews of work process? — (this is sup…

Total workplace surveillance. Coming now to a tech worker near you, and soon to workers everywhere — AI is the industrialization of the production of management and oversight itself
