#13The corporate overlords are becoming too benevolent these days! Why not monitor employees' thoughts in real time?

#14But the opt outs will, of course, be tracked. Choose to do it and it will go on your performance review.
If they give you shit for being opted out every day around lunchtime they would just find something else to give you shit about anyway.

#17I don't work for Meta, but how many more years do I need to work in tech? I'm in my 40s and my kids are young. I've already set up 529s for them, and am paying for some expensive home upgrades. Maybe when that is finished and I've built up a buffer I can switch industries for the last 5-10 years of my working life. Curious if anyone here has any similar plans.

#18And who knows who gets to see the tick against your name as "opted out". I get that the money is good but holy hell I don't understand why anyone still works at Meta.
Meta: Just as incompetent as Microsoft, but somehow more evil!

#19This is great, I hope the people at Meta suffer as much as possible while working for them. They should introduce mandatory eyeball sanders next.

#20It's always been hard to know the extent of how draconian tracking actually is (IT pros tend to not talk about it much).
In the US, there's the expectation that when you use an employer-provided device that any and all activity on it can be fully monitored/recorded and used against the employee for any reason. In practice, however, few people worry about reasonable amounts web-surfing, being on hacker-news or doing life-activities on their work machines. Oh, here I am on hacker-news when I should be working.
With AI, this changes significantly since the man can now employ a robot to categorize and finely scrutinize every little thing with the pretext of "training" (to take your job). We will soon have to brace ourselves for an absolute draconian level of tracking.
