The 'don't record me' Zoom hack and the collapse of meeting-transcript value

TechCrunch·medium signal

TechCrunch covers a workaround people are using to opt out of automatic AI meeting recording, and uses it to ask the sharper question: if every meeting, hallway conversation, and date gets transcribed and summarized, who is actually reading any of it. The piece frames ambient transcription as generating volume nobody consumes rather than intelligence anyone acts on. It's a useful counterweight to the assumption that more captured context automatically improves agent output.
