Meta's AI purge is pure dystopia

8,000 jobs cut. 6,500 engineers forcibly reassigned ("draftees," no choice) to write training puzzles. Two tasks a week. That's it. Meanwhile Meta's recording employee keystrokes for AI data. 1,600 signed a petition. They got a 30-minute pause permission slip. Someone rage-quit a livestreamed all-hands with "you're the company's bitch" and told them to find a specific exec and "tell him he's a piece of shit." The presenter covered their face. Employees called it "spicy." Zuck's response: a memo about team events and assigned desks. His vision remains "best place for the most talented people in the world to make an impact." Those people are writing puzzles and asking for surveillance breaks. This is what happens when you let billionaires treat AI ambition as justification for everything.
