This is Stockholm syndrome. Sure, you can enforce zero privacy on work computers, it will just lead to shitty work culture and lowered productivity.

Why not? How about a company-owned toilet? It's their property as well.

It might surprise you, but culturally, not all companies are this way. I know some are, but some are very different.

100% of the people at my company use their computer for personal tasks, and this is permissible under our policies. Our company is fully BYOD and owns zero computers, and zero cell phones.

That sounds like a truly dystopian take to me, but suppose you're right and nobody should ever use their work computer for anything personal.

Per TFA, this thing is literally taking screenshots of what is on the employee's screen. At work my screen sometimes had things such as: performance data on other employees, my own PII from HR systems, PII from customers, password managers, etc. It's also logging keystrokes. How many times do you type passwords a day.

Collecting that kind of information on purpose is truly wild. Imagine the security safeguards you would need just to prevent it from leaking. Wait what, they're explicitly collecting it to train LLMs with it? God help us all.

In most civilized countries you absolutely do have significant rights to privacy on a work computer.

I spend the majority of my adult life working, and you're telling me I should spend it surveilled?

/facepalm If we're going to debate norms and ethics, sending one liners into cyberspace won't get far. There are better ways. Invest in your conversational skills and listening skills, please. Otherwise you are a moth and HN is a streetlamp.
