‘Meta spokesperson Andy Stone said the data collected would not be used for performance assessments or any other purpose’

Horseshit.

1. Employees are being asked to train AI to replace them.

2. Performance assessments will 100% be impacted. No question.

Thinking back on the OTT interview experience that Facebook helped pioneer, imagine making it through that, getting paid a massive sum of money BUT barely getting by on it because of the location, then they drop this crap on you?

Big Brother is always watching.

When you will think about it, what actually useful data are you getting from this exercise? It is like strapping camera on a manual laborer so you can see what he sees, but you don't get data about the touch and grip and you won't get data about why he is doing specific moves.

As everybody knows, key strokes and mouse movements are the things that solve problems, definitely the data worth capturing for AI training.

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.

They have nothing else to do. Someone needs to be able to justify their position by creating stupid changes like this to create a line item on their LinkedIn.

Meanwhile, nobody seems focused on capturing CEO’s data for AI training.
