> Meta (META.O), opens new tab is installing new tracking software on U.S.-based employees’ computers to capture mouse movements, clicks and keystrokes for use in training its artificial-intelligence models, part of a broad initiative to build AI agents that can perform work tasks autonomously, the company told staffers in internal memos seen by Reuters.

> The tool will run on a list of work-related apps and websites and will also take occasional snapshots of the content on employees’ screens for context, according to one memo, posted by a staff AI research scientist on Tuesday in a dedicated internal channel for the company's model-building Meta SuperIntelligence Labs team.

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.

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

See: https://si.inc/posts/fdm1/

If they captured display output as well, it could be a very useful dataset for generalized computer use.
