Meta/Facebook Will Now be Tracking Employees Keystrokes, Mouse Movements and Screens

Meta is tracking employee keystrokes on Google, LinkedIn, Wikipedia as part of AI training initiative

As part of an AI initiative that tracks employee keystrokes and mouse clicks, Meta is monitoring use of popular sites like Google, LinkedIn and Wikipedia.

Article Summary:

- Meta is installing an internal tool called Model Capability Initiative (MCI) on U.S.-based employees’ work computers to capture mouse movements, clicks, keystrokes, and some screenshots.

- The goal is to use that activity data to train AI agents to interact with software more like humans do, including handling routine computer tasks.

- The tracking is reported to run across certain work-related apps and sites, which is why the story highlights tools like Google and LinkedIn as part of the concern.

- Meta says the data is not for employee performance reviews and that safeguards are in place to protect sensitive information.

- Employees reportedly pushed back hard, especially because there was said to be no opt-out on company-issued laptops, making the article as much about workplace privacy as AI development.

LOL....So they want AI to be as lazy as humans.

And to say it won't affect employees is a total canard.

The .gov did the same thing with it's "homers" during the covid and afterwards.....Till they found out half were just logging in then going about their day shopping and such and then started counting keystrokes.

You think extremely well paid Facebook employees are lazy?

People are the same all over when there is no oversight.

You mean the oversight of having tasks and projects to do, deadlines to meet etc.?

Oh I suspect AI will learn alright, and in about six months or less it will generate a list of META employees to be laid off.

If you can hack things where your keystrokes on Reddit and USMB are lumped in with your work keystrokes you are one step ahead of AI.

The greatest revenge is the dystopian state that we are welcoming into us. Accusations of hate will not be tolerated from the guilty. The deed will be done and no reversal will occur. And there was/is no shortage of people helping it along over years thinking they were/are doing the system a good deed. All proud of themselves as they destroyed people or attempted to. Many have gotten away with it and most likely would have been held up to task if lawsuits were pushed on them. Sadly, many of the abuses on citizens have a chain of command that would indict the oppressors if pushed at least at the local and state levels. We seem to see at the federal level it is free reign as very few ever go to prison.

They are training their replacements.

You're mistaken. Is that how you are so you presume everyone else is like you?

I hope not, I'm retired.

And when you were in the workforce?

From the time I was 13/14 not counting the usual (back in the day) kid jobs before then. I knew at an early age that if I wanted a jingle in my pocket I had to work for it. I guess that's pretty much a foreign concept now.

Well I don't know about you, but I and I believe most people, have worked jobs that were essentially stepping stones to getting to where they ultimately wanted to be. But in order to keep a job you have to do it, you can't be a slacker or you won't be able to hold on to it. That doesn't mean that people won't work unless someone is standing over them micromanaging their time activities.

Most people pursuing or in specific careers are self-motivated, I know I am and have always been this way. The work I do, is the type of work I've always done whether I was being compensated for it or not. You can't own a business and not be willing to do what is necessary to be successful and/or accomplish your goals if you need someone standing over you for the dubious purpose of making sure you're doing what needs to be done.

To me that's the difference between a lot of people who work a job and those who are engaged in or are pursuing a career. My career requires constantly upgrading my skillset to stay current with the technology.

LOL....You will replaced by AI.....Rots of Ruck.

So you have no support for your claim that people won't work without someone standing over them, not even personally?

Honestly, when I first read your comment the thought of "overseer mentality" crossed my mind but I didn't want to pre-judge.

Thanks for validating my assessment.

LOL...Don't care what you think....You sure seem full of yourself.

Full of myself? Why? Just because I can usually tell when someone is lying about themself, their experiences, etc.

Your remark was condescending and WRONG yet you claimed it was based on personal experience but when asked about those experiences you went on the attack. For no good reason.

So while you may not care what I think of you, I do care about untruths people tell about me. Or threats they make. Just FYI.

LOL...Still don't care.

Which is why you're still responding...

I just enjoy rejecting your opinion, you can't stand it.
