Almost certainly the video will be fed into a platform that determines “worker quality via microexpressions”. I know because I’ve worked closely with the software provider before. It’s obviously all pseudoscientific bullshit, but employers love that kind of stuff.

Which is really just a system you can use to discriminate with plausible deniability: We didn't not hire people because of X protected characteristic; the "scientific" computer program never selected them as a quality worker.

If you build your biases into a computer program, they're still your biases, even if it's not intentional.

While I don't think that's a hot take, good luck proving that's happening without extensive legal costs.

Yeah I think if I would get this question I'm going to ask chatgpt to come up with a skit with how my life has been rainbows and peaches and see how the bots compete
