The irony of this being on wired, that hides everything besides the headline and first paragraph behind a paywall.
I find it pretty funny that some jerkoff who works for facebook is complaining about privacy violations. The companies entire business model relies on disrespecting privacy.

Meta workers privacy invaded.
I don’t want to live in a world where humans—employees or otherwise—are exploited for their training data.
Does anybody read the job description anymore?
They really drank the kool aid when zuckerfuck said he just wanted to connect people.
Also meta is all about exploiting people, not sure what did they expect joining it
Nobody takes responsibility for the consequences of their work. It's always, "well people need a job"
Fuck that
Yeah yeah, but surveillance is meant for everyone else, surely not for them. The safest place to be is inside the lion's den innit.
Until it isn't.
I do my best to have solidarity with the entire working class, but 👉👈
“I'm mixed on Al. On one hand, I really enjoy using it to write software. On the other hand, I'm really nervous about its impact on the world,” the engineer wrote in an internal forum for coders.
Yeah, that's the catch isn't it? On one hand, we're ceding skills to oligarch-owned chat bots that are working day and night to create to neofeudal police state where their air conditioned bunkers can survive the climate apocalypse, but on the other hand, it makes your job slightly easier (until you're inevitably laid off).
It's a really tough spot to be in.
I think figuring out how to find solidarity across the working class is a guidepost to revolution.
It's more than okay to admit that it's challenging. Anything else is just untrue.
I do think the effort is worth it. I think uniting for a better world is the prize we win when we figure out how to construct a society that accommodates as much diversity of thought and lifestyle as our civilization contains.
And I say "fuck em" until they actually change their stance and views. People might say "oh you need to be tolerant and patient and teach them the error of their ways," but these are the people that know damn well the impact AI is having on literally everything but they're still just going "whee! It makes my job easier for 5 minutes!"
So, fuck em.
Yea, let's get ride of computers all together. In fact, let's destroy the loom too!
The Luddites made great strides for workers rights. I would be honored to be counted amongst their numbers.
Kind of like staking a claim through unionization works better... The technology is here to stay, it's better to grab control of it before it railroads labor.
I'll go get my sledgehammer.
I have some wooden shoes, will they do ?
Too advanced!
So they feel that surveillance isn't so great when it directly affects them? Poor ghouls, I'm going to cry for their plight in the next never.
Fastest way to get employees to unionize!
