META'S NEW AI SUPERSTARS ARE CHAFING AGAINST THE REST OF THE COMPANY
Summary from the TLDR newsletter
An us-versus-them mentality has emerged between Meta's top AI team and Mark Zuckerberg's longtime lieutenants. TBD Lab's researchers have come to view many Meta executives as interested only in improving the social media business, while the lab's ambition is to create superintelligence. Employees have disagreed over which division should get more computing power. Those working on the social media ranking algorithm have argued that more of the company's computing power should be used to improve their business rather than to train AI models.
