Enough has been said about the dogshit company doing this. That's a lost cause. At this point, you know what you're signing up for if you're getting in bed with Meta. In a sane world, the company should crash and burn - but yet it doesn't. So what's wrong with the people who still use Meta's services? What's wrong with the people still willing to work at this dumpster fire? They're a part of the problem.
Yeah, I agree with you. Meta should have gone bankrupt and died,
I will actually buy and pop a bottle of champagne if Zuckerberg dies
Facebook inherited Project Lifelog from DARPA. The US govt won’t let it fail because it works too well for gathering data about everyone and everything.
“We will only re-enable MCI when we are confident in the effectiveness of our data protection controls,” Stephane Kasriel, a Meta vice president overseeing AI research, told employees Monday, according to Wired. Kasriel said the company discovered and resolved the issue last week, but that the initial fix didn’t work.
Temporary pause on the program. It will be back on by next week I bet. Also, at this this point, if you work for meta, it is getting harder and harder to feel bad for you.
Why would you feel bad for anyone working for Meta at this point? They've been the bad guy for well over a decade. There is zero excuse. If you are still working for them you are complicit in evil and you deserve everything that happens to you.
I get the feeling, but surely there are people who work there without the education or financial cushion to take a risk on leaving.
What is your position on those people?
Like I said, its been well over a decade. They made their bed, now they can fucking sleep in it.
So why are you pausing it again?
It's literally right there in your own quote...because they are still investigating this.
Why-eeee?
And what are they investigating?
That seems pretty obvious no? Whether or not people that shouldn't have had access to this data have accessed it. Even if they have the data showing whether or not it happened, it still takes time to go through it because they collect insane amounts on their employees.
WHY WOULD THEY INVESTIGATE SOMETHING THEY HAVE "NO INDICATION" HAPPENED!?
They have no indication at this time, which means that they're not done looking but so far haven't found anything.
WHY ARE THEY LOOKING!? THIS MAKES ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE. I FEEL LIKE I'M TAKING CRAZY PILLS
It's just corporate doublespeak messing with your head. The normal person translation is:
Because the best way to find any such indications is to keep looking for them in all possible places? Yes they should have added "yet." But investigating while attempting to reassure is standard practice in crises
Okay so should they pause it to look for Smurfs in the servers? The best way to find any such indications is to keep looking for them in all possible places?
Oh they're in there all right!
