O enorme impulso da IA de Zuckerberg já está desmoronando no caos

Just a few months into Meta’s multi-billion-dollar AI moonshot, CEO Mark Zuckerberg is already shaking up his “Superintelligence Lab” — and some of its longtime leaders are leaving amid the chaos.As the New York Times reports based on insider sources, Meta has announced internally that it will be splitting its AI division into four separate groups: one focused on research, one on so-called “superintelligence,” one on Produtos e outro em infraestrutura. Primeiro vazou em parte para as informações, esse shakeup segue uma série de contratações de alto nível e ainda mais bem pagas para o laboratório de superinteligência de Zuckerberg, pelo menos um dos quais recebeu um bônus de assinatura de US $ 1 bilhão. Poaching talent from OpenAI, Apple, and Google DeepMind, the Meta CEO has spent much of the summer throwing massive gobs of money at the best and brightest from companies he views as competitors.A huge investment in a buzzy new tech followed by an epic crash out would be extremely on brand for Zuckerberg, who went so hard on the idea of a virtual reality “metaverse” a few years ago that he renamed the entire company from Facebook to Meta in 2021. Those VR efforts have largely stalled since those salad days, with the company subsequently laying off many of the people originally tasked with building it.Now, of course, the hot new tech trend is AI, and Zuckerberg is all in — complete with the inevitable drama presaged by the company’s VR push.According to the NYT’s insiders, who were granted anonymity so they could speak freely, this restructuring of the company’s AI efforts might even constitute an outright downsizing of the company’s AI division, though the newspaper’s sources say the decision isn’t yet final.Moreover, while those sparkly new hires are being placed in leadership roles at the restructured AI division, the chaos surrounding Zuckerberg’s superintelligence scheme has, according to those insiders, already driven out some of the old guard.Along with former AI research head research head Joelle Pineau, que deixou a Meta para se juntar à Fulência da AI, coerente em abril, aqueles cujas saídas ainda não haviam sido relatadas incluem Angela Fan, uma cientista de pesquisa que ajudou a construir o modelo de IA de código aberto de Meta e agora está pulando para o ShapAi, e Loredana Crisan, um VP de Ai gerativo que está juntando a empresa figma.when Para comentar – e honestamente, não podemos imaginar o que haveria a dizer, exceto que esses três podem ter saído no momento certo.
