Systemic capture of AI productivity gains by capital at the expense of labour; the employer explicitly stating that efficiency improvements will not benefit workers through reduced hours, shared profits, or improved conditions

📊 What the Data Actually Says

- Direct quote from Bosworth Q&A - Meta cut 8,000 jobs while spending $135B on AI - Meta installed keystroke-tracking software - Bosworth earning up to $921M from stock options tied to AI valuation targets

🔍 Analysis

Andrew Bosworth lands at 58/100 (moderate) for denial. Bosworth explicitly denies that AI productivity gains should flow to workers as reduced hours or additional time off, instead framing gains as justification for increased output. The denial is direct (labelled 'very dumb') and occurs in context of mass layoffs, surveillance, and massive personal enrichment from the same AI infrastructure. This is denial of labour's legitimate claim to productivity improvements—the core structural economic issue CopeCheck tracks. Score elevated due to explicit dismissal of worker interests and framing of exploitation as opportunity.
