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.)
I think they could just do better and replace Zuckerberg with an LLM; He looks artificial; Often hallucinates, and flip flops on everything he says.
Please pop the bubble already I’m so tired of the insanity
Aren’t we all?
This won’t happen but I would so love it if Nvdia was really brought to its knees and utterly dissolved. they so deserve it.
They just deserve to have CUDA published as a spec so others can compete.
Nvidia is the only company making money off the AI blitz. This is a huge win for them, and they’re making money hand over fist. There is so little competition on the hardware side, and the software support for competitor’s products is weak in comparison, that they can charge basically whatever they want for their products.
chants Pop the bubble! Pop the bubble!
Bad news. The AI bubble popping doesn’t mean AI goes away. If anything it will get worse from there.
Worse how?
Just replace them with AI duh
Careful Zucks, or they may question your commitment to Sparklemotion.
So it begins.
They need the money for the data centers first – then the AI employees.
Energy is the real bottle neck. Data centers are a cup and ball game for Nvidia/OpenAI…

Is this for their ML team?
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.
