> I think everybody can agree that improving efficiency is a good thing

At what point does demanding top efficiency from a human every minute of every work shift cross the line into abuse? I would argue this tool is miles over that that line.

Workplaces should server the workers too, not just the capital interests of the owners.

Instead it looks like the next abstract evolution of a whip.
