Eines der ungeheuerlichsten „Alles wird gut“-Argument, das immer wieder in Bezug auf unsere Zukunft vorgebracht wird, wenn KI und Robotik die meiste Arbeit erledigen können, ist, dass bestehende Arbeitnehmer von ihren Arbeitgebern geschult und neu eingesetzt werden. Oftmals verwenden Leute dieses Argument, indem sie dem Zuckerüberzug zusätzlichen Zucker hinzufügen, und fügen leichtfertig hinzu, dass es sich um eine neue Aufgabe handelt, die ihnen mehr gefallen wird.
Wenn Sie dachten, dass das völliger Blödsinn klingt, finden Sie hier einen Beweis dafür, wie sich die Dinge tatsächlich entwickeln werden. Meta eliminiert mit KI alles, was es kann, und nutzt den Rest, um seine KI-Ersatzprodukte zu trainieren.
Zweifellos werden META und seine Personalabteilung versuchen, Ihnen etwas anderes zu sagen, genau wie die „Mach dir keine Sorgen“-Beschönigungsleute. Es gibt jedoch nichts Besseres als das, was Sie mit Ihren eigenen Augen direkt vor sich sehen können.
Meta will einen von zehn Arbeitsplätzen streichen, nachdem es Milliarden für KI ausgegeben hat
After laying off 10,000 workers for AI, Meta installed tracking software on remaining employees’ work computers to log mouse movements, clicks, keystrokes, and screenshots, using the data to train their AI replacements.

Are you sure it’s to train AI and not to check who’s slacking?
If we view AI as a kind of Oompa Loompa, I can pretend this is all some Willy Wonka inspired fever dream and I’ll wake up from everything that’s happened since the internet took over our lives if I put the phone down and go to sleep…
I honestly don’t understand people who think companies and corporations are somehow their friends and have their interests in mind. Corporations are there to extract as much profit as possible while paying as little as possible. For that they are going to do everything they can including committing crimes if they think the fine is going to be less than the profit. This has been proven time and time again through history.
Meta identified critical employees they couldn’t currently replace with AI, those employees have leverage and should all leave at the same time.
Looks like it’s gonna be really easy for campaigners to take down Meta apps in the future with only machines to disrupt. I’m imagining some guy in a little golf cart desperately scrounging round a site the size of 80 football pitches trying to figure things out lol.
How the hell the US ever get to call itself the land of the free?!
But unions and labour laws are the evil thing! 😂🤡 I swear some people deserve it… Does it take for us to have children in the mines again before actually demanding better laws and protections? It is incredibly stupid to expect taking out from the fruits of society, resource that is publicly funded and grown, only to discard it afterwards for a ridiculous fraction of the wealth it generated, with society only getting shit in return.
Meta 100% already had that software on employees laptops. Virtually every large org does now.
If I were a Meta employee then I would be looking to leave immediately. I would not tolerate them micro managing my keystrokes. There are a ton of innovative startups that are far more interesting.
Why is my ai solution playing minesweeper and shit talking me on reddit?
I remember when Mitt Romney said „corporations are people“ and it was a huge gaff.
He was somewhat right, he just forgot to add that they were homicidal psychopaths as well.
AI was never created with humanity in mind. The reason companies are taking massive losses with the current models is they know in a short period of time they can replace the majority of tech workers. Profit is and always will come before people for corporations.
I’m sure companies want to replace people with AI, but it seems to not really be happening at a high level, and I’m not sure AI can actually do a lot of people’s jobs. It’s more that I think they’re unable rather than unwilling
In retrospect we probably should’ve used that free time during the pandemic to fight for labor rights instead.
Here’s a great opportunity to seed Meta AI with some really bad training to make it super incompetent.
Jokes on them. Who’s gonna fund their billionaire lifestyles? When there’s no taxes being paid because no human being works anymore? Or do they think we’ll all simply roll over and let them enslave and kill us? What the actual fuck is the long term game plan, we deserve to know!
less than a hundred dudes will own it all. They will have less than 100 people to run it all. Each. They will control entire nations and factors of production. Maybe 5% of the world will be employed to make sure that 95% of us don’t ruin their shit.
The entire world will be an automated system that works for these 10,000 people. Ya cooked.
Zuckerberg has also been working on an AI version of himself so that he doesn’t have to interact with employees as much. What a charming company culture they must have.
I know the argument is „if you got nothing to hide, you are ok with it“ but damn…
Thats some draconian move from the company.
I would not be interested in working for someone who is spying on me actively.
Money, status, resume, all might be good, but…
Hard pass on this bs.
Are there are companies that don’t openly hate their workers now?
Sounds like the first 10k dodged a ~~vibe management~~ visionary leadership bullet.
Now people are going to get automated emails mid day,
„`
Levi, you’re being let go — you logged 21.58 ft of mouse movement against a 300m requirement, and 13,543 keystrokes of the 150,000 minimum.
Your activity data has been retained and will be used in assessing any future applications within our network.
By opening this email, you acknowledge receipt of this notice. Your workstation and cubicle have been locked, and automated security has been dispatched to assist with your departure.
Thank you for your time.

My grandpappy used to say „watch how they treat their employees, that’s the real product.. employee policies are just a preview of how it’d treat everyone if they had leverage“
I think he was talking about credit card companies, but yeah..
Who in the world has ever argued that employers would replace their employees with AI and then train and redeploy those very same employees for entirely new positions without loss?
The argument has been that classes of work would become automated and workers would have to retrain _themselves_ to move into new positions, some of which would also be _created by_ this new technology.
It’s also fanciful thinking if essentially 90% (or hell, _all_) work ends up being able to be done by machines more effectively than humans, but we should be clear about the failure modes and not strawman them.
Also, Meta is responsible for all the age verification bills being proposed.
Fuck Meta, stop using their garbage.
Good. This mean that in all likelihood, facebook will finally soon be dead once and for all.
It’s that time in the job cycle when you’ve got to start stealing everything you can.
Time to alias ‚rm -rf /‘ into an harmless ‚echo‘ and randomly throwing it in your daily workflow.
I’m most concerned about data centers destroying the environment including our water supplies.
And this ladies and gentlemen is why I have been advocating for merciless Korean style labor laws, the only reason to fire a person is if the company is going bankrupt or the employee is not doing their (signed contract) duties.
Instead of the millions of people doing the silly and ultimately useless „No Kings“ protest, this is what we should be protesting, Jobs are for humans, its us humans who need these Jobs, not bots, a trillion dollar company has no excuse to fire anyone
Watch, they roll out the AI trained on the old employees and all the AI bots use that data to find new jobs at other companies
Maybe Meta does, but the economy at large doesn’t. At this point in time, people aren’t getting replaced by AI at scale. And I doubt that experiments like that one at Meta will end well.
Ah yes, “redeployed” means watched like a lab rat until the spreadsheet says otherwise.
The easiest positions to replace by AI would be the CEO and the board chairs. A CEO AI would take the best decisions in all circumstances, considering all possible outcomes.
So they should start with replacing Zuck and his buddies with AI if they want Meta to really grow faster.
Isn’t the entire purpose of government subsidies and government support of businesses due to the fact that those businesses “create jobs”?!
Yall seen that clip of the guy googling google to google google.com and then clicked the top result for the google search engine. Yeah, that’s what I would be training the AI to do
I will boycott with prejudice any company who gets rid of their workers for AI.
My „Draw dicks with mouse clicks“ script would be ready the minute I’d get a grasp of this.
What do AI replacements need to be trained on mouse clicks and keystrokes? For what type of work? Why not just train the AI on the employee generated e-mails, documentation, code, etc. Why does this all sound like complete bullshit.
It goes to show how stupidity is never punished, because Zuckerberg always jumps on the big hype train and invest a shit ton of money, no matter what it is remember, he put billions of dollars into metaverse. After the whole NFT thing fell off, metaverse fell off like this is just another hype train, but his net worth is 200 something billion dollars.So what the fuck do I know
Why wouldn’t they have installed all of this before they fired the 10k?
That’s when the remaining employees need to collectively leave. Unionize so it never occurs again
If i were an employee, and i knew it was being logged to train, id sooooo fuck that AI from my click 1000 time and drawing squares on nothing.
Open browser, close browser. Open paint. Draw smiley face. Save to faces folder. Open email. Click 50 times while waiting. Check email. Open paint. Draw face. Save face.
Dick shaped mouse movement before any button click. Engrave the oldest joke of humanity into AI.
After Facebook wanted me to scan my face from all angles to confirm identity, I stopped using it. I’m sure it will be used to train their AI and any leak of something like that might be used to hack your bank account for example.
„Sir we updated our AI system and it won’t stop looking for a new job.“
So my work computer will start ordering stuff on my Amazon account?
Jokes on Zuck, half his team were probably using mouse jigglers to look busy already. Now the Ai will just learn to look like its busy getting shit done while it works on other things.
When we are all unemployed and homeless how is a consumer driven economy going to work? No job=no money=no purchases
