so, you know how sometimes you hear about companies doing some pretty shady stuff, and you're just like, "wow, that's wild"? well, meta just took it to a whole new level. apparently, they're planning to put keyloggers on their employees' pcs to train their ai models. like, what even is that? it's not just that they'll be tracking what sites you visit or something, either - we're talking full-on mouse movements, clicks, keystrokes, the whole shebang.
