In a plot twist worthy of your favorite sci-fi series, Facebook owner Meta is trimming about 600 roles from its Superintelligence Labs AI unit 🤖✂️. After a blockbuster hiring spree—complete with poaching top researchers from rivals like OpenAI and Apple—Meta is now targeting teams behind AI products and infrastructure to zap "organizational bloat" and supercharge decision-making.
Not on the chopping block: the TBD Lab set up by Mark Zuckerberg himself. According to a memo from Chief AI Officer Alexandr Wang, the move means "fewer conversations will be required to make a decision," paving the way for leaner, meaner AI ops. And don’t worry—many of the affected folks may find a new home elsewhere at Meta, keeping the AI adventure alive 🛫✨.
