I'm so excited to interview for a career at Meta!

Also, why are the investors not suing the legs off of Zuck for the whole meta verse debacle? It is a scam and pure fraud. Also dumb name, sue for that too. Should have just renamed it meeme.

What would be the wxact opposite of Meta as a company? Small, privacy focused, HN blacklisted at work? Am I missing something?

Could a few of the smart people there please find a way to poison this data set? Before something similar ends up on my work computer.

Seems like a strange approach in general. I'd have assumed you'd just have it use accessibility features to get at things, if there is no other interface.

Knowing how to make an accessible website is so rare that companies pay me money to do it for them. I wish it was good enough for people, much less companies, to rely on.

Even if no attempt at proper accessibility was made, it's still generally far easier to attempt to find an HTML (or other form of UI) element, than to attempt to scroll to the right spot and use visual inspection to find things.

When you're Meta, "generally" might not be good enough. There are just too many bizarre limitations to this, like image buttons, or interactivity attached to random elements (making a div a link, etc)

a CLI with a man page should already be usable by an LLM.

They 'trust me'. Dumb f*ks.

Taking dystopia aside, without a lot more context I don't quite get how the captured data will be particularly useful to train models for say software engineering. If someone can shed light - thanks!

for software engineering? not because of the typing.

the signal is every time a human has to grab the wheel. that's a label for what the agent still misses.

They have a lot of internal tools. My guess is that it’s to train the model to click around the internal tools
