In an internal memo, Meta CTO Andrew Bosworth described a future in which agents &#x201C;primarily do the work&#x201D; while employees &#x201C;direct, review and help them improve.&#x201D; Meta says the data collected will not be used in performance reviews, and that safeguards are in place for &#x201C;sensitive content.&#x201D;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin: 0 0 1.5em 0; line-height: 1.6; color: #15212A;"&gt;Still, the move provoked deep concerns among employees I&#x2019;ve spoken with, and according to screenshots of internal discussions obtained by &lt;strong style="font-weight: 700;"&gt;Platformer&lt;/strong&gt;. (&lt;em&gt;Sources&lt;/em&gt; earlier &lt;a href="https://www.platformer.news/r/c6643a4b?m=51418983-c335-42dc-b433-9fac3bd4e54a" style="overflow-wrap: anywhere; color: #2047FF; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;u&gt;reported&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/a&gt; on some of the messages.)&#xA0;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin: 0 0 1.5em 0; line-height: 1.6; color: #15212A;"&gt;They asked how the company would avoid capturing users&#x2019; personally identifying information, or their own health- or finance-related data, particularly given that the tool is allowed to observe them on Gmail. (&#x201C;Gmail is an approved context so if you have concerns it may be best not to check personal email on your work computer,&#x201D; Bosworth responded.)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin: 0 0 1.5em 0; line-height: 1.6; color: #15212A;"&gt;They asked whether the program had been subjected to a privacy review and what safeguards, if any, had been put into place to prevent data misuse. (&#x201C;This project completed a privacy review,&#x201D; Bosworth said. &#x201C;Not sure &#x2018;what kind&#x2019; you mean but, the usual kind?&#x201D;)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin: 0 0 1.5em 0; line-height: 1.6; color: #15212A;"&gt;And when one employee asked if there was any way to opt out, Bosworth took the opportunity to remind them who is in charge. &#x201C;No there is no opt out on your work provided laptop,&#x201D; he said.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin: 0 0 1.5em 0; line-height: 1.6; color: #15212A;"&gt;(Technically, there is &lt;em&gt;one&lt;/em&gt; way to opt out: relocate to Europe. European privacy laws and worker protections prevent invasive tracking of the sort represented by MCI, and so Meta can&#x2019;t implement it there. It turns out GDPR really was about more than just cookie banners.)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin: 0 0 1.5em 0; line-height: 1.6; color: #15212A;"&gt;Meta contractors have long labored under much worse conditions. In 2019 I began writing about &lt;a href="https://www.platformer.news/r/a54653d5?m=51418983-c335-42dc-b433-9fac3bd4e54a" style="overflow-wrap: anywhere; color: #2047FF; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;u&gt;the lives of Facebook content moderators&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, whose work was closely monitored by automated systems and could be fired for making just a few errors in a week. Data labelers and &lt;a href="https://www.platformer.news/r/d59c1693?m=51418983-c335-42dc-b433-9fac3bd4e54a" style="overflow-wrap: anywhere; color: #2047FF; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;u&gt;model raters&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/a&gt; for Meta and other companies operate under similar levels of surveillance and job precarity.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin: 0 0 1.5em 0; line-height: 1.6; color: #15212A;"&gt;MCI, by contrast, has been presented to employees as relatively benign: a silent observer that will record their workplace actions to help build systems to deliver on Meta&#x2019;s new mission of &#x201C;personal superintelligence.&#x201D;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin: 0 0 1.5em 0; line-height: 1.6; color: #15212A;"&gt;&#x201C;If we&#39;re building agents to help people complete everyday tasks using computers, our models need real examples of how people actually use them &#x2014; things like mouse movements, clicking buttons, and navigating dropdown menus,&#x201D; a company spokesman told me. &#x201C;To help, we&#x2019;re launching an internal tool that will capture these kinds of inputs on certain applications to help us train our models.&#x201D;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin: 0 0 1.5em 0; line-height: 1.6; color: #15212A;"&gt;For years, tech companies have asked contractors to behave like machines so that machines can learn to behave like people. Now Meta is asking its own full-time employees, who once occupied the top of the digital labor hierarchy, to do the same.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin: 0 0 1.5em 0; line-height: 1.6; color: #15212A;"&gt;There is a word for this in the history of work: &lt;a href="https://www.platformer.news/r/7135bd83?m=51418983-c335-42dc-b433-9fac3bd4e54a" style="overflow-wrap: anywhere; color: #2047FF; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;u&gt;Taylorism&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. A century ago, managers hovered over factory workers with stopwatches, breaking down skilled labor into measurable motions so it could be standardized, sped up, and assigned to cheaper workers. Last year I &lt;a href="https://www.platformer.news/r/34cae90a?m=51418983-c335-42dc-b433-9fac3bd4e54a" style="overflow-wrap: anywhere; color: #2047FF; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;u&gt;visited&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/a&gt; an Amazon fulfillment center and saw that logic at work: automated systems told workers what to pick, pack, and route, monitored their pace, and were poised to intervene should they fall behind.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin: 0 0 1.5em 0; line-height: 1.6; color: #15212A;"&gt;Meta&#x2019;s MCI is not a stopwatch, exactly. But it reflects the same impulse: make knowledge work legible to AI systems, capture it, optimize it, and automate it. Initially, most Meta employees won&#x2019;t feel any effects from the system at all. If it works, though, eventually it might replace them.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin: 0 0 1.5em 0; line-height: 1.6; color: #15212A;"&gt;None of this comes as a surprise, really. In June 2025, Meta paid $14.3 billion for a 49% stake in Scale AI and installed its co-founder and CEO, Alexandr Wang, as the head of its new superintelligence team. Scale built its business on harvesting workflow data from contractors. &#x201C;For a lot of the capabilities that we want to build into the models, the biggest blocker is actually a lack of data,&#x201D; Wang &lt;a href="https://www.platformer.news/r/bb9da122?m=51418983-c335-42dc-b433-9fac3bd4e54a" style="overflow-wrap: anywhere; color: #2047FF; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;u&gt;told&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/a&gt; an interviewer from Andreessen Horowitz in 2024. &#x201C;There&#x2019;s no pool of really valuable agent data that&#x2019;s just sitting around anywhere. And so we have to figure out how to produce really high quality data.&#x201D;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin: 0 0 1.5em 0; line-height: 1.6; color: #15212A;"&gt;MCI appears to be one such effort to figure it out.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin: 0 0 1.5em 0; line-height: 1.6; color: #15212A;"&gt;At the same time Meta ratchets up monitoring of its workforce, it is also shrinking it. The company confirmed today that it will &lt;a href="https://www.platformer.news/r/79d640bf?m=51418983-c335-42dc-b433-9fac3bd4e54a" style="overflow-wrap: anywhere; color: #2047FF; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;u&gt;lay off 10 percent of the workforce&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &#x2014; about 8,000 people &#x2014; as part of a continued push for &#x201C;efficiency&#x201D; as it looks to spend up to $135 billion this year in its &lt;a href="https://www.platformer.news/r/ee682e5a?m=51418983-c335-42dc-b433-9fac3bd4e54a" style="overflow-wrap: anywhere; color: #2047FF; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;u&gt;buildout&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/a&gt; of AI infrastructure. It also will not fill 6,000 open positions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin: 0 0 1.5em 0; line-height: 1.6; color: #15212A;"&gt;Those cuts will bring Meta&#x2019;s headcount down to just above where it was at the end of 2023, when a year of cuts slashed its ranks by more than 20,000 people. But among employees I&#x2019;ve spoken with, rumors are rampant that much bigger cuts are coming. Mark Zuckerberg &lt;a href="https://www.platformer.news/r/b0ea3300?m=51418983-c335-42dc-b433-9fac3bd4e54a" style="overflow-wrap: anywhere; color: #2047FF; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;u&gt;laid out&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/a&gt; a relevant vision of the future on the company&#x2019;s most recent earnings call: &#x201C;We&#39;re starting to see projects that used to require big teams now be accomplished by a single very talented person,&#x201D; he said.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin: 0 0 1.5em 0; line-height: 1.6; color: #15212A;"&gt;Meta will not be the last company to install MCI-like systems on workers&#x2019; devices to help build systems that might one day replace them. With the most accessible stores of human-written text &lt;a href="https://www.platformer.news/r/ca00a4f9?m=51418983-c335-42dc-b433-9fac3bd4e54a" style="overflow-wrap: anywhere; color: #2047FF; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;u&gt;already heavily mined&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/a&gt; for model training, fears of a &#x201C;data wall&#x201D; are driving more companies to find ways to generate their own unique data sets. And it seems that one way to do that is to bring the logic of blue-collar labor management into white-collar jobs that were once defined by their autonomy, judgment, and trust.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin: 0 0 1.5em 0; line-height: 1.6; color: #15212A;"&gt;The result is that the people who were once entrusted with building the machine have now become raw materials for it. At Meta, that used to be what the users were for. Now it&#x2019;s what the employees are for, too.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="kg-card kg-image-card" style="margin: 0 0 1.5em; padding: 0;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://storage.ghost.io/c/a0/4c/a04c7225-d919-4d78-9b7c-a3fdd071349b/content/images/2024/05/floating_linebreak_600px-1.png" class="kg-image" alt loading="lazy" width="600" height="157" style="border: none; -ms-interpolation-mode: bicubic; display: block; margin: 0 auto; height: auto; width: auto; max-width: 100%;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="kg-card kg-image-card" style="margin: 0 0 1.5em; padding: 0;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://storage.ghost.io/c/a0/4c/a04c7225-d919-4d78-9b7c-a3fdd071349b/content/images/size/w1600/image/fetch/f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https-3a-2f-2fbucketeer-e05bbc84-baa3-437e-9518-adb32be77984.s3.amazonaws.com-2fpublic-2fimages-2fc2a8d7e3-b0bc-4fd2-a8e7-dd07c8877df0_2912x728.jpg" class="kg-image" alt loading="lazy" width="600" height="150" style="border: none; -ms-interpolation-mode: bicubic; display: block; margin: 0 auto; height: auto; width: auto; max-width: 100%;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="margin: 0 0 1.5em 0; line-height: 1.6; color: #15212A;"&gt;&lt;strong style="font-weight: 700;"&gt;On the podcast this week: &lt;/strong&gt;Kevin and I discuss Tim Cook&#39;s tenure at Apple.

Of that staggering figure, the space-turned-AI company estimates that more than 90 percent of it could come from AI services. More specifically, from AI for enterprises.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin: 0 0 1.5em 0; line-height: 1.6; color: #15212A;"&gt;A TAM estimate can help investors evaluate a company&#x2019;s potential, but offers no guarantee for how well it will actually perform. So while SpaceX brags about identifying the largest actionable TAM &#x201C;in human history&#x201D; in its filing, it still has a long way to go to get there.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin: 0 0 1.5em 0; line-height: 1.6; color: #15212A;"&gt;&lt;strong style="font-weight: 700;"&gt;Why we&#x2019;re following: Elon Musk&lt;/strong&gt; has been on an AI consolidation spree. SpaceX acquired &lt;strong style="font-weight: 700;"&gt;xAI&lt;/strong&gt; (which already owned &lt;strong style="font-weight: 700;"&gt;X&lt;/strong&gt;) for a reported $250 billion in February. On Tuesday, the company said it had an agreement giving it the right to acquire AI startup &lt;strong style="font-weight: 700;"&gt;Cursor&lt;/strong&gt; for $60 billion, or to pay $10 billion as a kind of break-up fee.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin: 0 0 1.5em 0; line-height: 1.6; color: #15212A;"&gt;&lt;strong style="font-weight: 700;"&gt;Microsoft&lt;/strong&gt;, which has been trying to gain traction with its AI coding tools, reportedly &lt;a href="https://www.platformer.news/r/34f3559b?m=51418983-c335-42dc-b433-9fac3bd4e54a" style="overflow-wrap: anywhere; color: #2047FF; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;u&gt;considered&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/a&gt; buying Cursor before the SpaceX announcement, though it later chose not to proceed.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin: 0 0 1.5em 0; line-height: 1.6; color: #15212A;"&gt;Of note: the pseudo-acquisition of Cursor isn&#x2019;t yet a real acquisition because of the impending IPO, a source &lt;a href="https://www.platformer.news/r/e443f5c0?m=51418983-c335-42dc-b433-9fac3bd4e54a" style="overflow-wrap: anywhere; color: #2047FF; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;u&gt;told&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Bloomberg. A major acquisition would mean updated filings and financials, and would potentially delay the offering. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin: 0 0 1.5em 0; line-height: 1.6; color: #15212A;"&gt;The Cursor acquisition would give SpaceX a significant leg-up in the AI coding market &#x2014; 67 percent of Fortune 500 companies use its tech, &lt;em&gt;Fortune &lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.platformer.news/r/2936837c?m=51418983-c335-42dc-b433-9fac3bd4e54a" style="overflow-wrap: anywhere; color: #2047FF; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;u&gt;reported&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. Then again, Cursor currently has access to Anthropic&#39;s Claude models &#x2014; and xAI doesn&#39;t. Will Anthropic cut access to Cursor, which is one of its largest customers? What will Cursor customers do if it does?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin: 0 0 1.5em 0; line-height: 1.6; color: #15212A;"&gt;While we wait to find out, SpaceX is targeting a summer IPO at a valuation of $2 trillion. That would make it the biggest IPO ever.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin: 0 0 1.5em 0; line-height: 1.6; color: #15212A;"&gt;&lt;strong style="font-weight: 700;"&gt;What people are saying:&lt;/strong&gt; At &lt;em&gt;Stratechery&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;strong style="font-weight: 700;"&gt;Ben Thompson&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.platformer.news/r/b9432f70?m=51418983-c335-42dc-b433-9fac3bd4e54a" style="overflow-wrap: anywhere; color: #2047FF; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;u&gt;thinks&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/a&gt; the deal makes sense: since Elon basically decided to dissolve and restart xAI, he needs &lt;em&gt;someone&lt;/em&gt; to use all the data centers he&#x2019;s built. So it makes sense to get an AI coding startup to do it. &#x201C;SpaceXAI has a ton of compute, and no one to use it, either for R&amp;D or inference,&#x201D; Thompson writes. &#x201C;There is really obvious synergy between SpaceXAI and Cursor: the former has compute, and the latter has a product, data, and a decent amount of distribution for the use case that is most important for AI.&#x201D;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin: 0 0 1.5em 0; line-height: 1.6; color: #15212A;"&gt;Bloomberg columnist &lt;strong style="font-weight: 700;"&gt;Matt Levine&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.platformer.news/r/491dc7e8?m=51418983-c335-42dc-b433-9fac3bd4e54a" style="overflow-wrap: anywhere; color: #2047FF; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;u&gt;had a colorful&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/a&gt; explanation of why SpaceX couldn&#x2019;t yet acquire Cursor. &#x201C;There&#x2019;s an IPO! In like two months! It&#x2019;s bad enough that the SpaceX IPO became &lt;a href="https://www.platformer.news/r/23b0489d?m=51418983-c335-42dc-b433-9fac3bd4e54a" style="overflow-wrap: anywhere; color: #2047FF; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;u&gt;Also The xAI And &lt;strong style="font-weight: 700;"&gt;Twitter&lt;/strong&gt; IPO&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;em&gt;in February&lt;/em&gt;, but making it also the Cursor IPO &lt;em&gt;now &lt;/em&gt;is too much.&#x201D;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin: 0 0 1.5em 0; line-height: 1.6; color: #15212A;"&gt;He added the Cursor deal could be a good way to get talent who would be otherwise skeptical about working for xAI. &#x201C;If you&#x2019;re leaving your startup to go work for Musk, a famously demanding and mercurial boss, you will want to get cashed out of your startup.
