Just when you thought it couldn't get worse, now they will literally have performance metrics for all employees. Prepare to see non-executive white collar jobs turn into minimum wage slogfests where you're pruned if even 10% of your time is idle.

They weren't already?

Here's a sneak peek into a management review meeting in the near future:

"Why is our AI browsing porn in the middle of the workday and constantly writing 'It fucking sucks ass here' in corporate documents?"

I wasn't understanding what use keystrokes and mouse-clicks would have without also capturing what's happening on screen. Turn out, they are also capturing that:

The tool, called Model Capability Initiative (MCI), will run on work-related apps and websites and will also take occasional snapshots of the content on employees’ screens

Seriously, why would anyone that isn't a far-right fascist even work there anymore?

Great. Now everyone will be making quirky mouse movements and clicking at nothing - adding these motions into the database. And the first wave of replacement robots (programs) will slow down live interface to a standstill as the humans are retired and the bots take charge. And the "modern world" will return ever closer to the dark ages.

Wait ??!

This is exactly why I never bought one of their headsets and why their VR division was doomed to fail. They want to do this kind of stuff with your head tracking data.

I'm pretty sure the EU won't let them pull this off with their EU employees. And the US will do absolutely nothing to protect their citizens that are employees of Meta. Disgusting behaviour from Meta, there's absolutely no bottom for them.

Draw a dick with your cursor every 5 minutes

OMG that's so creepy

With how fucking slow windows has gotten on my work PC with all the copilot bullshit, I’m pretty sure MS is doing the same thing. No proof, just a painfully slow machine after getting all the AI updates..

I hate having that machine in my house, on my network.

Oh man I'd be cleaning out my desk and leaving right then.

Can someone train it to download and extract a zip bomb or do the fork bomb terminal trick?

I read that as the animal mice, and I was wondering why Meta was hiring mice.

What kind of person decides to work at Facebook?

just use a macro and make random movements to screw with the AI.

you have to choose between: starve to death or train your replacement.

Meta says safeguards in place, data will not be used for performance reviews

Instead we just hope that we can make you redundant by training AIs to do your job.

Doesn't seem possible they weren't already doing that.

I'm shocked, SHOCKED!!

That Meta wasn't doing that already

I bought a mouse jiggler for my work laptop. Not the dongle, no - just one that goes underneath an actual mouse; it's stupid simple.

Ever since I had an "awakening" about AI and Microsoft trying to force their "Recall" "feature" down everyone's throats (which btw was the catalyst for my wiping Windows out of my home entirely - I now run Linux exclusively), I've been extremely wary of doing anything not 100% work-related on my work laptop. My boss doesn't care as long as our tasks get done, but I don't trust the upper management with that kind of power.

And for what it's worth, since I know someone will try to call it out: I only use it while I'm at my desk, and I'm very much in the habit of locking things before walking away. Mainly because I don't like having to poke the trackpad every 10 minutes just to keep an eye out for messages while playing a game or surfing on my personal device (which is almost never connected to the guest network).

Love that for anyone who works for Meta. Hell's minions complaining the boss is mean. Not a problem until it's them.

I feel like they've been doing this the whole time anyway.
