Am boss. Work in information security. My team builds the surveillance tools.
We are not using ai powered spyware. You know how expensive that shit is? I can barely convince my bosses to spend money on things we desparetly need. You know how many fucking business cases and useless PowerPoint decks I’d have to produce in order to get funding for something like this? I can hear my boss now “OK so if we did buy it, we don’t have the headcount to operate it, nor maintain it.”
Sorry, but do NOT discount how cheap most of these companies are.
Also, non,-ai tools work just fine. The only thing they’ll do with it is build a case for firing people. It is super easy to do that anyway. Put someone on a pip. Set the rules to get off the pip. Make them unachievable. If someone actually does the things, just say they didn’t do them just so.
Funny how AI was supposed to eliminate tedious work, but instead it’s eliminating the last scraps of dignity at work. Management can’t explain what half its executives do all day, yet they’ve built a robot hall monitor to grade every syllable from people actually serving customers.
Without billionaires and employers, AI would eliminate tedious work.
The problem isn’t actually the AI.
My new laptop turns on its mic randomly. Hope my company likes listening to me swear at it. 😁
You spy on me while i work for you, i no longer work for you.
Until no jobs without it, then what?
Burn down the government that allowed it?
This is the correct reaction and I’m with you
They mandated that we return to the office. I now have long stretches of time with my laptop closed while attending in person meetings or standing at a white board or even socializing. Track that.
I’m so happy that I live in Europe
For now. 😅
This is the real meaning behind ai. Why do you think all big tech bros are sucking on the orange micro weiner? They’re all perverts that are part of the Epstein class. Simple as that; power hungry perverts
I was already being watched. Key loggers, firewall, etc.
Beatings will continue until morale improves.
Can’t wait for people to be able to choose if they work or not because AI will do all the work for us and we won’t need money anymore. That’s what Elon Musk said at least.
Hell yeah!!! MORE RACIAL AND SEX DISCRIMINATION LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOO
