Good luck catching the ones that put something on the space bar in a text box. Without intrusive surveillance there’s no way to tell if it’s legit work or not.

Am I the only one not against intrusive surveillance provided it's the company computer?
Cameras on in their bedroom seeing a wooden bird peck at it while typing executive reports fed by gpt-6.
Satire this coy generally isnt appreciated, but the "intrusive" bit was good bait.
I mean it does not require too sophisticated software to not just look for keyboard activity, but also check if the a activity is withing human limits. Having 120000 keystrokes in 1 minute probably would raise the eyebrows of anyone
So basically a nerfed keylogger? How does that stop USB devices masquerading as keyboards that can type pre-saved content at normal speeds? You could even refresh the content using LLMs so it’s not like it’s typing the same phrase over and over.
