Laying off 20% of your workforce isn't a good look, especially when you keep betting your company on the wrong things (e.g. pivot to video, cryptocurrency, metaverse). It's looking like Facebook will wither on the vine since young people are largely opting to not use it

If were a meta employee there's 2 ways this could go

I get fired for poisoning the ai by doing shit work and becoming the worst of the worst

Or

I train the ai by being a good worker and they fire me later on anyway
Really there's only 1 way this could go

I already assume most big companies do this. I work in IT and while we have the ability, I don't bother. I don't care if someone is checking FB or social media as long as they aren't breaking anything. But this should be a warning to IT folks in big tech, they will replace you with bots as soon as they can. They don't care about you or what you create. All they want is money and power.

Sounds like an attempt to get AI to do their jobs so they can be laid off and Meta can sell such services to other companies.

I would be raising hell!

Oh, you work for a bullshit data-harvesting spy company, here's today's bowl.

Minus the "Feed the Data to AI", this is as it always has been. Never use company computers for personal work and if you have to use a company guest network, use a VPN, etc...

The only part that's new here is the AI and I guarantee any company these people move to will do the same thing.

I mean for people working at Facebook for years should have seen this coming.

You total 34.75 please. Oh hold on! Yes, welcome to the baty can!

So they use MS Teams?

Well, time to do the fun stuff:

• Get a desktop background that produces the McCollough Effect.
• Write up a little OpenGL program that routinely causes a portion of your screen to flash.
• Write up a little Selenium program that writes random stuff into a browser to fudge the numbers.
