Metaās AI Hiring Freeze: Billion Dollar Headache or Superintelligence Pause?
Meta just pressed pause on their AI talent buying spree, calling it 'basic organizational planning' as revealed to Business Insider. After throwing $100 million signing bonuses around like confetti for their 'personal superintelligence' dreams, tensions popped like a cheap balloon among staff. Alexandr Wang, head of Meta Superintelligence Labs, warned employees in a grim memo that 'superintelligence is coming' and big changes are needed. Meanwhile, Wall Street skeptics eye Metaās stock-grant bonanza as either a genius play or shareholder dilution in disguise. Even OpenAIās Sam Altman thinks Meta's pay strategy is 'crazy,' and AMDās Lisa Su isnāt writing billion-dollar checks anytime soon.
