I will say there is one thing that will get management to listen to employees, and that is a colossal screw up.
which we saw at Meta recently.
We've talked before about how Meta installed software on employee devices to track every keystroke, all the screen activity, basically full surveillance on its employees to help train AI.
This week, Wired broke the news that the company apparently left potentially sensitive information from those sessions exposed and accessible to anyone inside Meta.
So if you're a Meta employee,
everything you did on your screen could be viewed by any of your coworkers.
Can you imagine?
But we will be holding a hackathon in a few months to increase morale.
The one thing that came out of this that is maybe a silver lining or a good thing is that Meta did announce that they are pausing the data gathering program while they investigate what exactly happened here.
But it's a pause.
The guy who's been the face of a lot of those apologies is Meta CTO Andrew Bosworth, known as Boz.
And it sort of burns a little bit extra because before this happened, before this internal leak happened, people had asked him straight up, like, isn't this potentially dangerous from a privacy perspective?
And he told employees, actually, it's tightly controlled and we use the same protection standards and storage systems and access controls as other sensitive data sets, which makes you worry about the other sensitive data sets.
That Meta's sitting on.
It's right.
Can't stress enough that MetaMates is what people call each other inside of Meta.
Do you guys want to hear leaked audio of Mark Zuckerberg discussing the training initiative with employees last month and why he thought it was essential?
Like you, you all are, you all are going to be so good at replacing yourselves with AI that we're going to let you do that even faster.
One of us.
It must be nice.
