>> Opt-out is as simple as sending in your resignation to your manager.
I don’t care about Schadenfreude. It’s good that they are making a stink. I would bang my head against the wall if they either didn’t make a stink or publicly said that, of course the Company is going to monitor me, it’s their hardware[1] and who am I to be anything but a vessel for my employer on Company time etc. [1] As seen in the comments on the large thread about this https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4785194…

Meta employees are up in arms over a mandatory program to train AI on their _______
Pets?
Hairstyles?
It is in a way some kind of modern day slavery. Of course they can always decide to quit, but what if the next company uses the same sniffing strategy?

p.s. was just reading the wiki plot summary and lol'ing at this bit: "Colossus has the responsible programmers summarily executed outside their workplace, left laying 24 hours, and cremated. Colossus also names their replacements. " -- karma is a bitch, indeed.
If you work for meta you shouldn't have a problem with invading the privacy of others. Of course this is not ok, but you should really quit your job if you have ethical or moral problems with that.
Small-scale imperial boomerang. You thought that you're building a privacy-destroying machine and this machine will never destroy _your_ privacy? At some point in the future, a lot of the SV techbros will be hopefully viewed as ghouls with no morals or ethics.

I still remember clearly, when I explained to a Facebook fanperson, that FB is a criminal organization, just after they had to pay the highest fines ever for violating people's privacy. Despite the plain facts in front of them they chose not to believe me, because who am I, right? Just an IT person, who cannot possibly know shit, since I am not as rich and famous as Zucky the android.
Is this like a game where we choose the next word? Meta employees are up in arms over a mandatory program to train AI on their _______ Pets? Hairstyles?

There isn't exactly a surplus of jobs today. While some may have this option, many do not.
