Laying off people not because AI makes anyone more efficient but to fund this madness.
The bubble can’t burst too soon.

„These layoffs could help the Facebook parent company offset its aggressive spending on AI infrastructure, as well as AI-related acquisitions and hiring. Meta employed nearly 79,000 people as of December 31, according to a recent filing.“

SWE as a career will be mostly done in a year. Seems too soon? Any SWE knows how quickly these models are advancing. Last year, Claude was a joke. 4 months ago I started using it every day at my job. Now, I can’t imagine my day without it. At my previous job it was even shaping high level, critical decisions that we needed to make across several major distributed systems.
Things are advancing at an exponential rate. A year seems far away but I just think about how far we’ve come in a year, and I don’t see it slowing down.
• Meta secretly funded a „grassroots“ child safety group (Digital Childhood Alliance) to lobby for laws that regulate Apple & Google — not Meta
• The goal: force competitors to build expensive age verification systems while Meta faces zero new requirements
• Meta spent a record $26.3M on federal lobbying in 2025 and deployed 86+ lobbyists across 45 states to push this through
• Every claim is sourced from public records (IRS filings, lobbying disclosures, campaign finance databases). 47 proven findings so far.

So a couple of quick stories about Meta over hiring:
My previous job, tech startup, we fired 5 people from my team for basically being trash at their job. 4 of them quickly got jobs at Meta.
About a year later, I had Meta reach out to me about a job. Interviewed with the initial recruiter and decided not to pursue the job. A couple weeks later they called me up and offered me the job without needing to interview. That seemed super sus.
At my current job, we hired a „senior“ person who had been at Meta for 5+ years. Came to my company and she was terrible and we ended up firing her within a year.
TL/DR: Meta’s been thirsty for talent for years and hiring every other company’s cast offs, regardless of how unskilled they were. This reckoning has been brewing for years.

Can this company just go away? Dissolve? It doesn’t do anything redeeming to society

As a META shareholder I firmly support this decision. Stock has been shit and will immediately pump when confirmed. Then I can dump that bitch for a nice profit and shift that cash over into the defense sector.
LETS GO!!!!

Knowledge jobs are cooked absolutely cooked.
