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.

“Some of you will die but that’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make”
What’s crazy is that he could just have asked for volunteers and add a pay raise alongside agreement in participating in that crap and I’m sure half the company would be doing it willingly. Instead he just pissed off everyone and will likely get data poisoning from maliciously compliant employees, and lose highly skilled employees.
data poisoning from maliciously compliant employees
Even if everyone cooperated faithfully and diligently fully in on the plan of being rendered redundant in a few years, what do they even have?
Just the generic motions of work. As soon as your business model shifts, or some interface changes, or you run into a problem that you haven’t seen before…
They’re cannibalizing themselves. That’s the only way you can describe it. An organization that’s hollowing itself out with management aware it won’t last (or delusional enough to believe reality will never catch up with them).
If they’re doing this with their infrastructure, how much does anyone want to bet they’re playing fast and loose with their budgets and accounting as well?
This all screams Enron/Worldcomm waiting to happen.
I love how he paid a consultant a lot of money to adopt the image of a giant fuckboy.
Zuckerberg: People just submitted it.
Zuckerberg: I don’t know why.
Zuckerberg: They “trust me”.
Zuckerberg: Dumb fucks.
Ethics doesn’t matter. Morality doesn’t matter. The only thing that matters is profit.
It seems to me not even profits matter to them. Just control and power.
Or “Capital”. You’ve just discovered the fatal flaw in capitalism: when money matters more than people, money will always win.
I discovered that decades ago. I’ve just been screaming into the void ever since.
I hear you. We live in the age of information. I pine for a period of time when people can find intelligence.
“Every dollar spent is a vote cast”
for Zuck specifically, it feels like ego.
More like fooling the investors that AI will bring profit
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.
You’re right, I forgot about the cancer WhatsApp is. Degoogling phones is not that easy but it’s definitely doable for someone with basic technical skills. Avoiding WhatsApp is basically impossible.
I would of course, go for Palantir.
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….
You’re not winning the race, Mark
Isn’t he? There was an entire Hollywood movie in 2010 that grossed $224M about what an abhorrent person he is, and yet he’s still more successful than ever.
The world has shown that it may not love that he’s a shitty person, but it’s too apathetic to stop using his products and lining his pockets
The race to the bottom perhaps.
[mEtAvErSe noises intensify]
Ah, the good ole’ “the ends justify the means” school of immorality!
Win AI race to replace as many humans as possible and have monopoly on solution.
Messiah is there.
Won’t learn shit from meta employees. Biggest bunch of useless grifters I’ve ever met.
lol he will never win
He said that the biggest problem is that they have leaks about what they want to do with AI. https://odysee.com/DYiMJ1JP_az:b44480746b23cb260ba4e23261e1e3e5dfee6f20
meta employees… i am begging you. leave, now. at least form a union or something.
Whoever stayed at meta this far deserves everything coming at them from this lizard
