Maybe they're building a simulation of the rich lives and behaviors of white collar office people in the early 21th century, with breathtaking detail? I couldn't imagine life without my unique keystrokes and mouse movements.
Like a museum exhibit?
Some call it museumverse.

Are they merging with Palantir any time soon?
Meta people used to protest and demand Thiel be removed from the board all the time, in the 2010s. But it’s probably not like that anymore.

I insulted him in my mandatory Exit Interview form from HR when I resigned. It had no impact of recruiters trying to win me back since then.
In my experience at other companies recruiters and pretty much no one else has any idea that someone has been blacklisted, until you do all of your interviews and tell HR to hire that person and that's when they tell you the person is on some kind of shit list and we can't hire them. That was an awkward conversation with someone who was basically told we'll be making an offer soon.
I like to imagine they’ll mostly capture meta employees using AIs to do work. Then they’ll deploy models trained on this, and begin capturing employees using AIs that are good at using AIs to do work. Repeat a few times and they’ll start capturing the keystrokes from people mashing their heads into keyboards with dispair and exclaiming, “Why can’t these models do anything anymore!!”
I am to speculate that they are going to use this as an excuse to let people go without doing mass layoffs and having to pay severance. Training AI is just an excuse.
It’s only once the business is having a cash crunch or will no longer need to hire competitive candidates that they start letting people go without severance.

Huh. What do you reckon would have happened if you'd hired them anyway?
I wonder if this screen + mouse + keyboard (+ camera + speaker + mic) interface is really the right level of abstraction to model a “digital entity” Sure, you can do everything a human can, but it also seems VERY inefficient As an alternative, maybe you could just do network in/out?
The computer UI is the way it is because that is optimal for humans, if your plan is to replace humans why not just replace the whole stack os and all to something these models already know how to use?
After all the layoffs, labeling people as underperformers while laying off, etc. can they stoop any lower? Why TF would anyone in their right mind would want to join this company?
They pay well. That’s it. That’s the only argument for working for facebook. They don’t add anything beneficial to society. They exist to sell ads.
