George Orwell's 1984 vibes

Edit: So you're downvoting this comment? Some feedback? How is it not surveillance with extra steps?




Because the point of it decidedly isn't sinister? Having someone watching you and learning from you shouldn't be creepy, it should be exactly what people in a high-pressure job should be trying to foster.

Just because someone is watching you doesn't mean they're surveilling you. When I mentor coworkers by letting them watch me do a task, it's not chilling me or oppressing me.

People are downing you because you're making a rather absurd conflation between "they aren't working in total secrecy" and "now it's an oppressive police state"


I think you're missing what this program actually is in a big way, but it's hard to know where you're coming from exactly because that post is pretty terse--

You made a snide comment without enough content in it to fuel a decent discussion. If you want a discussion then it's on you to initiate it properly.
