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.
AI can make decisions and micromanage. What’s stopping the higher ups from replacing lower management now?
As I understand it this exact application of AI is currently prohibited by the EU.
Kissassery, mostly. Why have one AI inflate your ego when you can have twelve department heads and one AI stroke your ego?
They have to keep underlings around or they’re next on the chopping block
“O token-burning machine, tell me true: Are my serfs producing enough product?”
“No. I recommend SPENDING MORE TOKENS.”
Your work email, slack, google drive, or any other account given to you by your job should not be expected to be private.
There’s a small legal carve out for health data through your employer health insurance and one or two others probably, but its well within your company’s rights to see the communications that are done through company resources.
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.
Reasonable. I hate eating and paying rent.
I’ll leech of the fuckers until the force me out!
Hey Claude, go on the Internet and spread misinformation about my boss so that they get fired and I can take their job.
I like the cut of your jib
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 ?
Who is pretending exactly?
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?
The only thing protecting us before was “who has the time to analyze all the data we gather about you?”.
Without analysis how could they tell that you consistency take an extra 1.45 minutes to clock back in from lunch when you eat Taco Bell. Schedule a colon cancer screening, while also increasing your health insurance premium along with your estimated new risk level due to your sub optimal life choices? This is all needed to insure you last meat bags with jobs perform to shareholder expectations.
Well guess what LLMs are really good at?
I am so done with the software industry
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.
Even an AI slob-coder wouldn’t be able to get implementing that feature wrong:
fprintf(stderr, "Work done: None.\n");AI manager is just a manager.
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!
