Technology

Not one metric has ever once failed to be weaponized by management. The main decision we make at my company to determine what metrics are even allowed to be used is "are we willing to give any random manager the ability to fire someone from our own personal staff because of this reason."

This is the type of news that makes me smile. Yes. I would love for these hack AI regurgitating "consultants" LARPing as CEO's on LinkedIn to ruin their businesses because they don't understand basic social psychology. I'd love for my competitors to blindly allow their management to engage with this practice. I'm sick of these mouthbreathers having the funds to engage with my company and wasting my management staff's time trying to sell them on frivolous bullshit. Become insolvent and go bag fries FFS.

Pretty sure you can‘t do that in the EU. Your boss is not even allowed to give AI details about you or consult it about you. The thought that Anthropic wants Claude to become your supervisor is deranged and dystopian.

Could we like...stop pretending that this wasn't the plan all along?

The AS cartel isn't investing what are already trillions of dollars in that technology because they want humanity to prosper, or because they hope commoners will pay a miserly monthly subscription. They are doing it because they know that middle managers will use it to get rid of you. If that's not possible or feasible, then at least squeeze you out. That requires invasive monitoring. I mean, obviously, right ?

Anthropic says Smart Reports shouldn't be used to evaluate employees, then lets management attach names to their Claude sessions. Apparently workplace surveillance becomes ethical if you put a disclaimer on it. The real innovation here is outsourcing micromanagement to the machine.

Hey Claude, go on the Internet and spread misinformation about my boss so that they get fired and I can take their job.

Good. Fuck Claude. Fuck any company that uses it. I hope they eat themselves alive from the inside out. Stop working for companies that do this.

Micromanagement to a whole new level.

Is it really any different than companies having full access to your email, teams chats, and other correspondence tools provided by the company?

This was already possible with everything on enterprise plans anyway, this is just streamlining piping the data back in for Claude to analyze. Sensationalist headline

There's a pile of products that already monitor LLM use, prompts, data sent, etc. There's a whole branch of cyber called AISPM tnat deals with it.

This is going to be chaotic!
