    ah so it’s fine when you develop software and tools to spy on your userbase and hell people who aren’t even in your userbase but when it comes to the higher ups at meta using YOUR data to train YOUR AI that’s too far huh?

    I can’t tolerate surveillance software on my PC that I use to develop surveillance software!

      Except this surveillance software is for training AI that will probably replace them.

    If I wanted to reduce the workforce, but didn’t want to pay for redundancies, I’d implement some nasty, overbearing policies that would make anyone with morals, a sense of decency, or integrity, resign.

    Install an autoclicker/autotyper HID USB key that, when it senses and idle computer, spams clicks and keystrokes at plausible spoeds, but which outputs pseudorandom nonsense, to muddy the data pool and produce far more incoherent data than coherent data

      I’d be tempted to modify my user environment as much as possible, so the ways I use it wouldn’t be transferrable to anyone else’s environment. I’ve already done this to some extent, with e.g. nonstandard command line aliases and highly-customized wrapper scripts around the tools I use a lot.

    Zuck is having all his keystrokes recorded too, right? Right?

    Make sure the AI engineers get that data. Especially the passwords to his and the company’s bank accounts. All his accounts, actually.

    There’s a reason why most businesses don’t implement keystroke logging.

    This is a pretty misleading headline. There’s no reporting in the article here about a staff protest, just the same information reporting the change as the rest of news sources, with the Register’s more editorial writing style.

    Hey, I got some bad news for you: a shitload of corporations - and particularly, every one of the FAANG et al orgs - are surveilling the shit out of their workers, and this is not a new development.

    Oh, cry me a river to fill that data lake. I guess all that user and non-user data they helped collect was not enough…

    If a least those folks had decent sindicates, they could stand a chance resisting it 🤷‍♂️
