What you type, what you click on, the AI models want to know it all.

From American Public Media, this is Marketplace Tech.

It's Friday, time for Marketplace TechBites, week in review. This week, Meta is reportedly

laying off 10% of its workers, but in the meantime, it's also capturing their mouse clicks to train
