A good honest bake. Not flashy, but you'll finish the whole bagel.
Summary
Meta is installing tracking software on US employees' computers to capture mouse movements, keystrokes, clicks, and screen snapshots for training AI models. The data collection is part of Meta's initiative to develop AI agents capable of performing work tasks autonomously. The tracking will focus on work-related apps and websites, and the company informed staff about this through internal memos.
