Meta will use tracking software on all of its US-based employees' computers that can track mouse movements and keystrokes to train AI models.

🤖 Honestly you can’t make this up:

Human Robot #Zuckerberg is gonna put an #AI based smart keylogger on his employees computers.

Nothing says we don’t trust you and don’t appreciate you like a regular screenshot of your work screen.

No more NSFW! Welcome to the future baby!

Guess them employees are gonna get a taste of their own medicine for once.

Seems like everything is going according to plan.

Use the employees data to train MaiRK, so Meta can finally become a synonym for MaiRK. https://mastodon.social/@madeindex/116402482806274908

Eventually we will only see his superintelligence controlling everything. https://mastodon.social/@madeindex/115871208581092120

Narcissism 2026 version 😋

If you are thinking: Wouldn’t this make people quit? Meta is banking on it: https://www.reuters.com/world/meta-targets-may-20-first-wave-layoffs-additional-cuts-later-2026-2026-04-17/

    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.

    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.
