I've always kept out of the AI business, but I heard some people at work talk about how Meta has a new superintelligence group that has employees from the biggest names in AI. "Mark Z's only move is to throw more money than God at what he thinks is the next big tech thing so he can try to dominate it while lacking any real vision." "Its just Oculus and the Metaverse all over again," are the sentences I heard. I didn't want to butt in to the conversation, but do people here want to give me some intel on this? My popcorn is ready.

Those sound like pretty accurate assessments to me. He’s been offering beyond ridiculous signing bonuses to some of the top names in AI research, it is rumored to be in the 9-digits… insane

I'd say your colleagues are on point. Pretty much in a nutshell, MZ thinks AI can take over the world, and if he spearheads it, he gets to take over the world. I don't think they realise how taxing this can be for the earth environmentally.

This is twice now in back to back weeks my boss has asked me where the disconnect was in our communications because I didn’t deliver on what “was asked”, even though I know damn well what was asked and what was done were the same thing. I’m not sure if he’s changing the meaning or isn’t communicating what he’s envisioning or what but it’s embarrassing to be called out like that, and to have people think you’re the dumb 23 year old.

Thoughts on “special” salary grades. I just found out the VP I was offered is not a grade 12 like most comparable roles (verified). Also not an 11, but an 11A. Slightly higher than an 11, a good bit lower than a 12. All due to the fact that it’s a leap from my current position. Why should that matter…..shouldn’t it pay what it should pay if I am selected, rather that curving down towards my current rate?
