META IS AN ABSOLUTE MESS INSIDE RIGHT NOW

Wired just dropped an exclusive, and the details are wild.

This week someone interrupted a livestreamed Meta meeting, open to thousands of employees, with an expletive-filled rant about "being the company's bitch." They told the presenters to find a specific Meta AI executive and "tell him that he's a piece of shit."

A presenter covered their face with their hands. Employees in the chat called the start "spicy."

Here is what's behind it.

Meta's AI restructuring cut 8,000 jobs last month, 10% of the company. The same restructuring feeds a unit called Applied AI, where 6,500 engineers and product managers have been drafted in waves since April. There is no application process. You get selected, and your options are join or leave the company. Members call themselves "draftees."

The new job: writing puzzles and coding problems to train Meta's AI models, two tasks a week. People hired to build apps for billions of users now assemble training data for hundreds of AI scientists.

"It's literally the gulag," one employee told WIRED. "You have zero purpose in life all of a sudden, you barely interact with anyone, you just have these tasks every week."

Another: "Most people find the work soul-crushing."

At the same time, Meta started recording US employees' clicks and keystrokes to generate more AI training data. Over 1,600 employees signed a petition demanding it stop. The concession: employees can pause the tracking for up to 30 minutes.

Zuckerberg's response came in an internal memo Friday: "We've made mistakes and will almost certainly make more." He repeated his promise of no more mass layoffs this year. His fixes: limits on the manager ratios Meta had deliberately pushed to 50-to-1 on some teams, bigger budgets for team events, a hackathon next month, and assigned desks by the end of the year.

That same memo says Meta's north star is "to be the best place for the most talented people in the world to make an impact."

The most talented people in the world are writing puzzles for a model and asking permission to pause the keystroke logger.

META declined to comment.

🚨Trade Rumor Intel: As you may recall, the Spurs came very close to acquiring Guerschon Yabusele from the Knicks this past season.
Now, @thesteinline reports that one of his closest comps- Detroit’s Isaiah "Beef Stew" Stewart is "outright bracing" for a trade to one of several interested teams, including the Spurs.
The Pistons are said to want to flip his team-friendly slot to bolster their shooting & playmaking. (1/3) 🧵

Alex Hormozi reveals how he made $100,000 in 30 days after losing all his money

"I went to a local business and said, what are the packages you have and what are the cheapest you are willing to deliver those packages for?"

"If I go get you customers, and I sell it, can I keep X percentage if I go get them, and I sell them, and you get to keep the customer for life after that?"

"As soon as I had businesses that said yes, I got them customers and I kept the money and delivered the services and they got customers for free."

"So I made $100,000 in the first month after I lost everything."

"You can absolutely do that, you just have to work like a maniac."

Joe Budden crossed the line.

Criticize Victor Wembanyama's game all you want. But using his French nationality as an insult isn't sports debate—it's xenophobia.

Mocking someone for visiting sick kids is ugly.

Do better. 🇫🇷🏀🤦‍♂️❌
