Very funny screw up by Meta.

Very funny screw up by Meta. They installed a keylogger on employees PCs, so they could train their AI. However they exposed the collected data online, so anybody could see what anybody who works there has been typing.

@GossiTheDog all those tasty passwords

@GossiTheDog Who could possibly have foreseen... seriously these morons should go straight to the abyss.

@GossiTheDog Zuck will never stop his unquenchable desire to stroke all of your data to attempt (in vain) to satisfy his deep and abiding emptiness.

@GossiTheDog It's just funny to think of how this guy is still free and well while violating our rights daily and the the founder of PB was chased for years for letting us have stuff for free.

@adampetrone @GossiTheDog I worked in IT and it was scary when info was being moved online. I was freaking out inside because of what this meant. That was around 2003.

@bedifferent @adampetrone @GossiTheDog Teams with Copilot is recording and transcribing seminars discussing trade secrets at my employer. We've essentially set 50 years of IP protection rules on fire in corporate America.

@GossiTheDog remember when people feared keyloggers for this exact reason?

@hanscees @GossiTheDog Some passwords are ones they will choke on. Here's one I just used (it contains a digital signature using public-key cryptography, but after being verified, is used as a normal password, with timeouts).

It has to be verified within ~90 seconds of being created.

@GossiTheDog
META has reached peak META.
Accidentally expose their employees keystrokes publicly in Ai training effort.

@steamworkgroup @GossiTheDog he's basically the Stream of a consciousness virus from The Outer Limits Season 3 Episode 5

@GossiTheDog I just hope that they were monitoring the HR staff during the payroll run so Ai can capture all those C level salaries.

@GossiTheDog I think it’s fair to say this companies are not serious about security.

[steamworkgroup@glammr.us]

@oblomov @GossiTheDog Too real, yet thanks for sharing that!

@GossiTheDog Reading this article really gives you a vivid sense of the 9-hour slice of hell it must be to subordinate yourself to #zuckerbergs empire.

Imagine getting a computer science masters, brute forcing your way through hundreds of interviews, watching your peers and friends get axed just so some sociopaths "stonk go up" and then this:

Bosworth sent out a memo to employees last week apologizing for the company’s “atrocious” communication about the AI reorganization and promising improvements, including clearer communication and the return of some office perks.

"Some"

@GossiTheDog This is like "History repeats itself, once as tragedy and the second time as farce" for all those tapes Nixon recorded in the White House

@GossiTheDog “Sources at Meta, who were not authorized to speak publicly, tell WIRED the incident has now been marked as closed, meaning it was likely resolved.”

Meaning they believe they can kick the can into the next fiscal year and promote the bright-spark executives responsible out of range of damage control.
