Lawsuit claims Meta's layoff decisions were made by AI, not humans
- BeetleB 3mo ago"“Meta did not assemble the termination list through the considered judgment of managers who knew the work. Instead, Meta used a constellation of internal artificial-intelligence systems—including a system referred to internally as ‘Metamate,’ employee-trained ‘second-brain’ agents, keystroke- and activity-monitoring data, AI-token-usage dashboards, and algorithmically assisted performance ranking and calibration—to score, rank, and select employees for inclusion on the list,” the lawsuit said. Employees were allegedly graded, among other things, on how much they used Meta’s AI tools. “Meta’s internal dashboards classified employees by their stage of adoption of its artificial-intelligence tools, using categories such as ‘AI Native,’ ‘AI First,’ and ‘AI Enabled,’” the lawsuit said"
- bediger4000 3mo agoThose categories are bizarre. They're just buzzwords. Nobody in earth is "AI native" at this point, LLMs only appeared 4 or 5 years ago. If I take those categories at their plain meaning, they're still only rating someone's apparent enthusiasm, nothing more. Horrifying.
