Meta to lay off 600 in its AI division - UPI.com (www.upi.com)

This is an interesting choice; a big part of AI-mania has been corporations tripping over themselves to prove how "all-in" they are on AI. In firing a bunch of AI staff, Meta risks looking like they're not committed enough to it. Are things starting to change? Is this all-in posture no longer important? (We can only hope.)

Is this for their ML team?

[–] sundray@lemmus.org 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The only specific information I know is that this doesn’t effect their “super intelligence” team, and that they are inviting the laid off people to apply elsewhere at the company.

Ah yeah, instead of working to shift people elsewhere, lay them off and have them do the work and compete with each other as applicants again. Gotta love modern corporate America.
