Meta announced Wednesday that it is laying off 600 employees in its artificial intelligence division while still hiring for its superintelligence lab.

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.)
