>data collected would not be used for performance assessments or any other purpose besides model training

And you expect Meta employees, of all people, to believe this?

orangecoffee•1h ago
Does not matter? I think the high compensation will be what will drive the compliance.
anonym00se1•1h ago
In the midst of their 4th straight year of layoffs with another looming 20% cut coming, I'm guessing Meta employees are a tiny but suspicious.
dylan604•55m ago
These are the same employees that willfully code the largest spy network on the planet, so it seems like they are willing to believe a lot
HoldOnAMinute•51m ago
Are they merging with Palantir any time soon?
kridsdale1•45m ago
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.

Data collection isn’t new. The training is.
shimman•1h ago
You don't think collecting this type of intimate information about your employees as a major violation of the social contract?
bradlys•55m ago
I’m just saying that they’ve been collecting this info for years. Keyloggers, etc. are on all the computers you’re given. Employees didn’t have any expectation of privacy - just a hope. Now, it’s clear it’s completely gone and so the hope and goodwill is gone.
jmull•1h ago
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!!”

arjvik•1h ago
While it would be a hilarious failure mode to encounter, this is actually a good thing!

These models already have the skills that humans were using them for, so either by training the models to use subagents or simply inlining the work done by the AI, you have a much easier time training the model to perform tasks from a human-distribution. The humans have done the work of making the human-distribution look more like an AI distribution.

bwestergard•1h ago
Doesn't this assume that what humans are current doing with LLM agents is working out? Isn't it a bit early to bet on that to this degree?
dylan604•57m ago
Not when all of the marketing of LLMs is touting their abilities to do the exact thing and that is what investors are being presented.

If it is as you say, then eventually the house of cards will crumble. Then we can finally go back to work and quit being inundated with needing to use AI for everything.

darth_avocado•49m ago
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.
lotsofpulp•25m ago
White collar firms with a reputation for paying well don’t cheap out on severance. It’s a cheap way to get employees to sign some stuff reducing the risk of lawsuits, plus their unemployment insurance premiums stay lower.

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.

loeg•1h ago
For context, when the article says "a list of work-related apps and websites," this includes Google properties like gmail, docs, etc, and social media websites like Facebook and Instagram, with no provision for excluding personal accounts.
tmp10423288442•1h ago
No one intelligent should be logging into their personal accounts on their work devices in any case - it's always been the case (at least in the US) that companies can do whatever invasive scanning they want on devices they own.
__loam•40m ago
Meta forces employees to use personal Facebook accounts at work.
kleinsch•37m ago
This hasn’t been true for 8+ years.
charcircuit•4m ago
Having both a personal and work Facebook account is against the rules and may lead to getting the account suspended.
Rekindle8090•37m ago
No they do not lol.
casualscience•26m ago
They absolutely do, wtf are you talking about.

Also people use their work accounts and laptops to read their w2 and other sensitive info.

Archonical•2m ago
It at least used to be true. In order to accept the job offer, you would have to make (or have) a Facebook account.

You can browser personal accounts from your phone.

darth_avocado•46m ago
Yeah automatically assume everything on your work computer is available for your employer to see. And everything you do on your own device when connected to their WiFi or VPN.

I’m surprised this needs to be said out loud.

fidotron•1h ago
Meta going all in on their brand with this.

Someone had to do it, distasteful though it may be. Could be quite hilarious what it learns in the process.

dist-epoch•1h ago
That people watch TikTok instead of Instagram reels. Quite embarrassing.
dylan604•53m ago
It would be really embarrassing if this is what it takes to come to that realization rather than the same way the rest of the world does.
jtemplestein•1h ago
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?

evanjrowley•1h ago
It's the same approach as Windows Recall, but all data remains sovereign to the company generating it.
vorticalbox•13m ago
for agent agents we have ACP [0] surely their time would be better spent builing this sort of abstraction for computer use then simple teaching an AI to use a mouse?

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?

Meta can even afford to destroy themselves and their own employees.

More proof that they do not care about you at all. This is Meta's way of moving fast and destroying everything at all costs.

dagmx•1h ago
This is going to be a huge chilling factor for employees. You’d no longer be able to disent, or discuss anything non-work related with even the slightest expectation of privacy.

Yes they could have accessed logs before but there’s a difference between directed checking after incidents and active surveillance at scale.

simmerup•1h ago
Yeah, if at any time Mark can ask Meta AI ‘which of my employees insulted me today’ for example, that’s wild
kridsdale1•47m ago
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.

gambiting•38m ago
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.
balamatom•30m ago
Huh. What do you reckon would have happened if you'd hired them anyway?
computably•16m ago
What? Hiring is a contract between employer (company entity) and employee. No individual "you" can hire anybody except through the company's official process. If HR says "no we won't extend an offer," a lowly HM extending an offer would be clear-cut fraud.
everdrive•50m ago
Yes, but I cannot imagine Meta cares about chilling their employees. They're deep into the "extract more value" phase and are no longer bringing in the cutting edge talent.
stringfood•42m ago
at this point employees should be kept in cold storage to acclimate so as to prevent being shocked from any more chilling announcements. also will cut down on bathroom breaks
