Meta Rolls Back Parts of Employee Tracking Tool After Staff Backlash

Meta Platforms is scaling back elements of its employee tracking tool after staff raised concerns about the tool, according to an internal memo reviewed by The Information.

A Meta executive told employees in the memo that the company is updating its Model Capability Initiative, or MCI, launched in April to help train its AI models, by adding strengthening privacy protections, enabling some staff to request exemptions, and giving employees an option to pause the tracker on their computers for 30 minutes.

Но для этого мало сохранить код или даже внешнее поведение. Нужно сохранить связь кода с целью и ограничениями системы, с намерениями при ее создании. Эта связь должна переживать смену разработчика. Если она живёт только в головах, каждое серьёзное изменение снова начинается с археологии.В этой части статьиАрхеология. Нужно... Read more
