    In 100 years AI is going to do big swipes with the mouse randomly at 4 minute intervals, and no one is going to know why.

    I can’t imagine working under this kind of surveillance. I hope their AI agents all learn how to slack off and do sudoku on the clock.

    So their models have trouble opening a dropdwn menu and their best solution is to implement mass surveillance of the employees?

    Seems a bit overkill tbh aside from being qustionable in general.

    Seems like their goals are just throwing more data in to the model until they get AGI at this point

    This read to me that the intent is to be better able to track and measure and control employees productivity on the job. And this could also be sold to other employers.
