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.)

    I just don’t think it’s going to change our economy on the scale you seem to think it will

    Yea you’ve completely misunderstood what I was saying. Like not even on the same topic anymore. I’m talking about AI being used for oppression and terrorism after the AI bubble collapses.

    I’m not sure what YOUR credentials are

    I have more certifications in cybersecurity than you that I am sure.

    some reason I need to be an expert to continue this conversation

    Thats a strawman. I never said you couldn’t continue the conversation, I pointed out that you lack the expertise to be contradicting actual experts.

    I hate having these kinds of weird interactions over reddit, where one guy is shouting at me that he can see the future and I should believe him over drawing my own conclusions for reasons™

    Sounds like the common denominator is you on that bud. If you had bothered to read the links I provided you might have realized what I was actually talking about instead of assuming you did.
