Torment Nexus devs protest being tormented.
Mine has been doing it for once half a year. Really sinister and illegal shit for my state of CA.
You work at meta or you have keyloggers for some other reason?
I can’t tolerate surveillance software on my PC that I use to develop surveillance software!
- Facebook employees
Except this surveillance software is for training AI that will probably replace them.
Live by the slop, die by the slop.
Meta has always been surveillance, and pushing propaganda, thats the only thing meta does.
So quit them.
Zuck wants to quit them.
Install an autoclicker/autotyper HID USB key that, when it senses and idle computer, spams clicks and keystrokes at plausible spoeds, but which outputs pseudorandom nonsense, to muddy the data pool and produce far more incoherent data than coherent data
I’d be tempted to modify my user environment as much as possible, so the ways I use it wouldn’t be transferrable to anyone else’s environment. I’ve already done this to some extent, with e.g. nonstandard command line aliases and highly-customized wrapper scripts around the tools I use a lot.
This is my kind of kink. No cap.
So that’s what that feels like.
If I wanted to reduce the workforce, but didn’t want to pay for redundancies, I’d implement some nasty, overbearing policies that would make anyone with morals, a sense of decency, or integrity, resign.
People who can afford such things don’t work at meta to begin with.
And you be left with shitty, immoral, um …. wait I think I just noticed something….
People with morals already don’t work at meta.
I see, so the Meta employees have the typical conservative mindset: any misdeed is perfectly fine as long as it doesn’t affect you personally.
That’s what I thought - it’s probably not just the employees of social media companies who feel this way, but also those at Palantir and similar. Not to mention the “defense” contractors and the like.
I really wonder how these people can still look at themselves in the mirror.
I knew a guy who went to work for palantir a bunch of years ago. Was always friendly at work. I asked him “but what’re you going to do if they do bad stuff, like spying on people?”
He just shrugged. Didn’t care. The money was good.
I don’t know if this alone is proof that’s a bad person, but I think it precludes him from being a good one.
Mercenary mindset. No snowflake feels responsible for the avalanche.
Why does the military advertise the most towards the poor?
Why don’t presidents fight the war?
Why do they always send the poor? 🤘
I would argue no. Partly because I am in a similar situation. But also because I would be a fool to quit such a stable, laid back job in a market where it is extremely difficult to find a job in my field.
Granted I also do care. But not enough to risk poverty.
It’s hard to make a full judgment without knowing more details but “the pay is good and it’s easy” isn’t really a compelling justification for “and I help evil manifest in the world”.
Again I would like to avoid poverty in a market where I am very unlikely to get a “non-evil” job. I don’t want to keep trying to justify my position as I have already made myself a pariah. so I will just leave this here and encourage people in similar positions to read it. https://www.cia.gov/static/5c875f3ec660e092cf893f60b4a288df/SimpleSabotage.pdf
But are you doing any of that to your big evil company? Or is it easier to be a good worker and not risk getting fired?
You’re asking someone who may literally work at a surveillance company to publicly admit to the stuff they linked? Personally I think it was a bad idea for them to post that link or even suggest they know it exists.
And that’s why I don’t connect my personal devices to the corporate network, because I know what we can see.
Employees working for evil company: “Hey evil company don’t do evil stuff to us”
Evil company does evil thing to them
Employees: =O
Employees*
Lol, imagine working at an evil empire and this being your biggest annoyance.
What kind of fucker works at Meta?
Actually so absurd yeah. Im still on their side from a workers perspective, but also they are part of the reason this shit exists…
Came here to say this. They facilitate so much violence and bloodshed, and this is what they take issue with.
“Hey, the massive spy machine isn’t supposed to be used on us!”
ah so it’s fine when you develop software and tools to spy on your userbase and hell people who aren’t even in your userbase but when it comes to the higher ups at meta using YOUR data to train YOUR AI that’s too far huh?
It’s always just a matter of time until you’re not part of the protected in-group anymore…
obviously a layoff tactic. Their AI group shit the bed after they burned millions on
third lifethe zuckerverseobviously a layoff tactic.
It sure smells like it, right? But, and I’m repeating myself and others, the important part here is that, if it is a layoff tactic, it’s a horrible one: as per the Dead Sea Effect, the people who leave as a result of declining workplace environment are those most able to leave, i.e the most employable staff, with each round of departures. Thus, the people whom Meta would want to stay around are the people most likely to find, get, and depart for jobs elsewhere. And while Meta are bastards, the mechanics of working in a massive org like that one score really well for skills companies want.
I wish them luck in this terrible job market, and hope they can find a supportive environment again. We can always do with more smart people working for the greater good instead of against it.
Millions? Try $77 B-b-billion.
