Zuck defends monitoring employees to win AI race in purported leaked audio (www.theregister.com)

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg appears so determined to win the AI race that he is willing to sacrifice some employee privacy to make it happen.

In a leaked audio recording published by the worker advocacy group More Perfect Union, Zuckerberg purportedly answered an employee's question about "device monitoring" with a six-minute monologue in which he said Meta employees are very smart and to win the most competitive technology race in history, he would need to collect their keystrokes, mouse clicks, and screenshots to make its own AI measure up to its rivals.

“We are using this to feed a very large amount of content into the AI model, so that way it can learn how smart people use computers to accomplish tasks. I think that this is going to be a very big advantage if we can do it,” Zuckerberg purportedly said during an April 30 meeting in which an employee asked about the "top of mind" issue.

if i could insta-kill any company today….might not be THE best choice, but it would definitely be the most satisfying to kill meta

Google. You can easily avoid Meta. You don't have to de-metify phones, you don't have to use Meta's browser. It's really hard (and getting harder) to avoid Google. Meta is annoying, Google is cancer.

Disagree. You can easily degooglify for the most part. Except android. But you won't get your friends and family to contact you via anything other than Whatsapp (except in america).

And teens without Instagram just don't exist socially. Maybe with TikTok now. But not like TikTok is any better.

Meta provides zero value to the world anymore. It would be a net positive to be rid of it. Maybe I could go back to using Craigslist again instead of having to use Facebook to sell my used shit….

Craigslist is still fantastic and hasn't changed for like 30 years.

I know buuut it has way less users than it did 10 years ago which means less eye balls looking at your stuff….

[–] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 3 points 7 hours ago

I would of course, go for Palantir.
