78% of companies are now running AI surveillance on their employees.

- Screenshots every few minutes
- Keystroke logging
- Emotional state scoring during Zoom calls
- Productivity algorithms deciding who gets promoted and who gets fired

The bossware market hits $4.5 billion this year.

And this week, the company leading the legal fight AGAINST unauthorized AI just got caught doing it to their OWN people...

The New York Times - the same institution suing OpenAI for billions over using content without consent - secretly deployed AI tools to monitor and score 700 of their own engineers without telling them.

The tool is called DX.

It tracks output, efficiency, and how often employees use AI. Then it generates a productivity score that feeds directly into performance reviews.

No disclosure or consent.

Their workers just filed legal action against them for it.

The engineer who led the complaint put it plainly:

"Our work takes human judgment and problem-solving that can't be accurately assessed by AI proxy metrics. It creates a skewed, inaccurate picture of what we actually do."

The New York Times published the Brookings Institution study warning that AI is creating "potent new tools for employers to monitor and surveil workers, undermining autonomy and power."

Then deployed those tools on their own staff the same year.

AI surveillance is already the default.

61% of companies already use AI-powered analytics to score productivity and 75% monitor physical workplaces with biometric data.

Cornell researchers have already documented the fallout - algorithmic scores that bear no relationship to actual performance quality, used to justify terminations with zero explanation beyond "the metrics."

Amazon has run this playbook on warehouse workers for years. And the same scoring system is now inside the laptops of knowledge workers at one of the most prestigious media institutions in the world.

The companies that cry about AI ethics in public are quietly deploying AI surveillance internally.

And every company that talks about "responsible AI" has a dashboard somewhere rating their employees.

This is the pattern across the entire industry right now.

@unprofeshme @aiDotEngineer Truly amazing stuff. I wish you guys all the best.

[R @Loolstate]

Thank you PSG for saving me in a room full of arsenal fans tonight.
Or else I was a goner 😭😭

[R @Loolstate]

Why did twitter timeline become so weird. Uhhh I hate it

[R @Loolstate]

If arsenal had won, It would truly have been the end of the world for me. Need to bear 20 years of taunts.
Insane hate watch

Google Chrome is rolling out device-bound session credentials to all users. Session cookies get cryptographically tied to your device, so stolen cookies can't be replayed from a different machine. Attackers who exfiltrate your cookie database get nothing usable.

I'm not gonna lie, the @Meta layoffs are some of the most dystopian I've ever seen. They got told to work from home, they were sent the emails at 4AM in the morning. Those who weren't impacted have software on their computer that tracks their every move, preparing AI to take their job as well. They're literally training the AI that will eliminate their position as well.

Meanwhile, Meta is raking in RECORD PROFITS.

I am a massive, unapologetic AI enthusiast. Yet, this is NOT the future I had in mind.

I wish for Meta to crash and burn. This is not the way. Literally nobody benefits from this.

Personal update: I've joined Anthropic. I think the next few years at the frontier of LLMs will be especially formative. I am very excited to join the team here and get back to R&D. I remain deeply passionate about education and plan to resume my work on it in time.

His grocery bill has doubled in the last 4 years. Let’s gaslight him and tell him inflation is 3%.

Isn’t it crazy that the thing a successful college dropout startup founder does is hire a bunch of people from only the most prestigious colleges
