I'm Brian Barrett, Executive Editor.

And we're all in the same room.

Oh my gosh!

Same room.

And of course, we wouldn't skip the Elon Musk verdict.

He lost his lawsuit against Sam Altman and OpenAI in really as full a way as you can, as dramatically as possible.

I know, Zoe, you're looking forward to talking about that.

And I'm looking forward to talking about Google's annual developer conference, I.O., where it debuted some dramatic changes to search.

So we record this on a Tuesday, but the reason we're able to talk so fully about this, constantly about this, is because Meta announced this a while ago.

The news leaked.

The news leaked, but then they acknowledged it.

Yes, but still, it's been a long time.

It's been a long time.

That this has been out in the open, which has resulted in, I think, a little bit of chaos time inside of Meta because you've got like a, what, a one in 10 chance of not having your job anymore.

Well, because it's not just the layoffs, right?

It's also even if you stay there, if you're not culled from the herd, you are going to have to deal with this world in which you've got spyware on your laptops.

Oh, yeah.

Training AI to probably take your job at some point, right?

I mean, explain that a little bit.

So they announced, Meta announced, and this was more public, that they were going to put software on employee laptops that would monitor their keystrokes and how they move their cursors and basically how they do their job as Meta engineers and use that as training data for their own internal models to try to make their AI models better because they're running out of other sources.
