Meta is deploying the Model Capability Initiative (MCI) software on employees' computers, capturing mouse movements, keystrokes, and, critically, 'occasional snapshots of the content on employees’ screens.'

The chatter reveals deep suspicion. Users are split over whether this data serves AI training or performance pruning. 'Prove_your_argument' warned that this foreshadows 'minimum wage slogfests where you're pruned if even 10% of your time is idle.' Meanwhile, 'zewm' argues the goal isn't metrics but making 'AI agents do the work without having to pay a human.' The official memo, suggesting the data 'will not be used to evaluate employees,' is already viewed with intense skepticism.

The overwhelming sentiment points to industrial surveillance. The community believes the tracking moves beyond simple input logging. The fault line is between the corporate promise of technical training and the fear of direct, tangible workforce devaluation via unseen performance metrics.
