Start swirling the mouse in a dick pattern before each click.
Natural noise like this is ideal for them, I’m assuming they use it to emulate human input while DDoSing the internet for LLM training data.
Being able to evade paying their competitors like cloudflare has the opportunity to save them a lot of money, and they’d argue they already paid their employees for the “right” to spy on them.
And typing “Fuck Zuck” over and over.
“Why does every answer start with “Fuck Zuck” and 9 backspaces???”
What the hell would mouse movements even be useful for outside of things already better achieved by frameworks like Playwright? Are they planning to let AIs control desktop peripheral input? For it to be useful you’d need the AI to have full screen visibility and if you have that, why not just script the mouse movement to where you want it to go?
Are they planning to let AIs control desktop peripheral input?
Yes. Since 1-2 years ago there’s been an AI browser war, where tech companies are racing to have LLM agents browse the internet for you.

Exactly what they are pushing for, see Microsoft Recall, Claude Cowork, Perplexity Computer, etc.
It’s all good, just wait. He’ll drop 4 or 5 billion on something involving this and he’ll lose it.
He’s had one good idea which he got lucky with, bought out others to monopolise. Everything else he’s done is shit, not just turned out to be shit but is genuine shit.
If you’re shitbag enough to work for those clowns, you deserve everything they do to you.
I’ve worked many different kinds of jobs in my life. I’ve worked in restaurants, retail, fast food, construction, and land surveying. These days I have an office job, and lemme tell you, I’d take any of those other jobs again if my boss told me he was going to monitor my mouse movements and keystrokes.
Which is saying a bit where land surveying is concerned because a good one allows and actually insists their work be checked by superiors. For the fieldworkers, integrity and trust is crucial because we need to know if they fucked up.
When I was a CAD tech for that same land surveying company I absolutely refused to send anything out unless someone else had checked it. But there’s a huge difference between doing a good job at work and having a baby sitter while on the job. If anything, I’d say having someone constantly monitoring me makes me do a worse job because it’s so much more stressful.
Correct, I highlighted it here because most don’t know how willing and trusting survey professionals are, so if one points out baby sitting so to speak it’s coming from a place of experience.
So you were a CAD tech…yep, you’d have had field surveyors hand their data in, needing your checks and your work for accuracy and interpretation would be scrutinised well by office surveyors or the field surveyors themselves. I am a surveyor so I avoided doing your job as much as possible; most of us hate the office component.
constantly monitoring
Again, funnily enough, for all the scrutiny of work, CYA you have to do and the multi displaces you have to work with, it’s one of the most autonomous jobs you can do.
Why have a hyper paranoid jealous significant other when you can just work at Meta? So convenient!
