> Selfishly, I don't want my screen scraped because it feels like an invasion of my privacy, [...] But zooming out, I don't want to live in a world where humans—employees or otherwise—are exploited for their training data.

I wonder whether this Meta employee felt the same way about privacy a month ago, before they were personally impacted by this new initiative.

Selfishly, I don't want to live my every waking moment in a panopticon, but I understand it's really important to the shareholders.

Rough world we've reached where you have to start with a mea culpa about your horrible selfish desire.
