Zuckerberg's AI Agents Are Proving The Dead Workforce Theory

About this episode

The episode discusses Meta's surveillance of employees and the implications of AI agents in the workforce.

Meta is installing screen-recording software on every employee to train the AI agents that will replace them, and Anthropic's "too dangerous" Mythos model is loose in the wild because someone guessed the URL. Hunter and Daniel cover the workforce surveillance arms race, coin "dead workforce theory," and dissect the AI agent whose flagship feature is preventing two coworkers from accidentally throwing two birthday parties for Bob.
