Meta 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.

Just when you thought it couldn't get worse, now they will literally have performance metrics for all employees. Prepare to see non-executive white collar jobs turn into minimum wage slogfests where you're pruned if even 10% of your time is idle.

Hehe that’s funny you think this is performance metrics and not just training AI agents to do the work without having to pay a human.
