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.

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.

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.

the epsteins always assume that we're trying to cheat them and this seems to be par for this course.

A brilliant researcher will even dig up this ancient comment and will be even more frustrated knowing there's an answer we all knew, but no one ever posted it.

If this is integrated into my work PC one day, boy will that AI be good at reading the news and calling people for random chats.

Then at noon it's going to take something from the to-do list but not quite finish it.

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

And it's so stupid: I am not actually paid to make enough inputs that I do not idle but to create a deliverable until time x.

I am also not paid to sit in an awkward position for 8 hours, that's an ergonomic nightmare.

I mean yeah. This was the very reason to dump a ton into "the metaverse" in order to maximize possible data collection

Just like Google when it created Chrome.

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.
