    Why does he not fire himself? The company would save a crap ton of money.

  2. Its not that AI was doing the job good to replace their labour. They were merly sacrificed so their payroll costs could be funneled into the furnace of AI investment.

    Didn’t they just lay off 20,000 people? How many people actually work for Zuckerberg?

  4. „I can’t afford to pay my employees after poor budgeting for software“ is a bad leader

    Translation: „I give zero fucks about the people who maintain my wealth. Hell, I just laid off 8,000 of those bastards so I could buy some compute.“

  6. These tech executives are so dumb.

    If AI was really the multiplier they say it is, why hasn’t their revenue jumped exponentially?

    Why lay off workers if what they say is true that it makes you more productive?

    Because it’s a lie and their bonuses and benefits must be maintained at the cost of their employees.

    Who in their right mind would want less people working for them if they could complete their work multiplied by X?

    Why not increase profits and revenues? Rhetorical because AI doesn’t turn a profit and before they will admit that, they will just sacrifice labor to pay capital.

    Everyone should boycott Meta and all their poisonous platforms. Is any of it necessary?

    CEOs making 1,000x (minimum) the income of their employees somehow never get fired

  9. With most CEO’s now saying AI costs more than human employees and they are seeing no return on the investment. Makes me wonder how much extra they are spending and how much productivity is actually being lost.

  10. “We value AI’s potential to replace all workers more than today’s workers.”

  11. So it was the AI. But not because it took over jobs, but because they bet on it, it didnt return the magic profit they thought it would, and tbe costs of it are too high. So the human workers get chopped instead of the AI.

    Oh, and… the massive failure of the Metaverse might have something to do with the layoffs. Dumbest business initiative since the founding of Theranos. It’s like Zuckerberg thought “Second Life failed, so why don’t I create my own version but with shitty goggles?”

    Can someone explain the roadmap to profitability for Meta’s AI capex? At least OpenAI and Anthropic are pretending to eventually be profitable with subscriptions and enterprise integrations.

    How will Meta profit off AI? Automated ad sales? AI slop generators to create hate content to drive engagement?

  14. Can’t wait to see companies who only hire vibe coders end up needing to pay private consultants to fix the vibe code. Then complain they can’t afford coders due to the cost of AI.

  15. I have an open offer to any tech giant. I will take on the role of any executive currently making more than $20 million. I will do said job for $10 million. Immediately saving you at least $10 million and potentially upwards of $170 million.

    Billionaires:”AI will help everyone!” Then fires 10k people… lol

    No, it wasn’t AI that lost all that money.  It was the $80 billion spent on the Metaverse.

    no, it was stupidity that contributed to lay offs, but let’s us AI as a scapegoat.

  19. They can lay off a few execs and cover whatever the fuck he needs.

    This is about him having no concept of humanity. Those people are just numbers to be added and subtracted. But the execs suck his dick daily to make him feel special. And honestly, how in the world could suckupberg go a day without them?

  20. Company that sells AI on the promise that it will replace staff, says it replaced staff because of AI.

  21. yamanagashi on

    I have a feeling AI is being the fall guy of a lot of Japanese Yen fallout hot potato

  22. ivecompletelylostit on

    Imagine if everyone left just fucking quit and let this company go under

  23. What the fuck are they doing with all this AI? Facebook hasn’t changed in 17 years.

  24. Laughing_Zero on

    Apparently the quality of their AI isn’t good enough to actually earn money, so they have to subsidize it by terminating workers. Tax paying workers; workers that contribute to the local economy…

  25. Turns out AI is replacing jobs because it’s too expensive to meet payroll, not because it’s any good. Who knew?

  26. Admirable_Ad_5291 on

    I thought it was his all consuming greed which caused the layoffs.
