The flyers the organizers put up say:

“Don’t want to work at the Employee Data ​Extraction Factory?”

It’s funny how they have to specify “employee data extraction factory”, because they all already know they work at a data extraction factory, but it wasn’t affecting them just yet.

I also love the idea that Meta is saying it needs to know which buttons the employees press to train the AI to work. I would bet there are virtually no applications that Meta employees use that don’t have some kind of API. Having an AI click buttons is the most error prone and least efficient way for them to be used. I don’t work in AI, so maybe the they plan to use that to somehow reinforce the API use (when a person would click the send button you should add the snippet to send the message), but I can’t imagine that’s more helpful than raw code analysis. People make mistakes and backspace, they idle, they have trouble navigating menus. Maybe in a more focused situation the information would be helpful, but I don’t understand why you’d train a bot to use a computer like a person. I feel like this is asking for resignations so they don’t have to do as many layoffs.
