Meta to cut 10 percent of workforce in AI push
Meta will lay off about 8,000 employees and close roughly 6,000 open roles, trimming about 10 percent of its workforce as the company refocuses on artificial intelligence. The company plans to redirect hiring and investment toward building large AI models and related infrastructure, reprioritizing teams and budgets across products. The cuts concentrate engineering and research resources on AI work instead of other consumer initiatives. The move accelerates a broader industry shift toward AI hiring and raises the stakes for how automation will affect professional jobs and tech labor markets.

Matthias Fett4I think after the tremendous success of the Metaverse, that’s definitely another good idea 👍🏼
Mats-ake.4Soon AI will have taken so many jobs that no one can afford to buy their services

Roxo the 'stache2you get gov'ts to gift you the land to build Data Centres needed for AI. At a cost to the neighboring residents. All in the name of winning the AI race to benefit Americans. Just to have it negativley impact those same Americans. 10% cut is to profit the few who benefit from AI expansion.
mijn-handle.bsky.social2... and then suddenly, these companies are going to be confronted with AI doing 'weird' stuff and there will be nobody left with the knowledge to intervene ... Shitification-maxxing.
