> We will soon have to brace ourselves for an absolute draconian level of tracking

I think framing it as inevitable is one of the biggest lies in the current AI narrative.

No, I think the companies that are likely to be successful in the next decade are the ones who respect the basic decency of their employees and treat them as competent and responsible professionals, just as I thought the same thing in decades past when friends told me of mega-corp jobs where they installed mouse-togglers to keep the spyware on their work laptops happy while they were AFK.

It's very similar to drug tests. I've always viewed them (outside of gov/clearance work) as a great sign of a culture that doesn't respect employees and sort of a lower-status portion of the industry.

Meta has made it very clear where they're headed, and it looks a lot like getting a job at Cisco in 2012. I wish them the best of luck in being able to hire the talent they'll need from Gen Z (now well into their 20s) to be successful in AI and other emerging technologies.
