Oh, *Great*. Meta’s Doing It Again.

Right, so Zuck’s decided his AI division is… not working well enough. Shocking, I tell you. Absolutely shocking. They’re shuffling people around like deck chairs on the Titanic – Andreas Boserup is now running everything after a series of “restructuring” which basically means firing people and hoping for magic. Apparently, they’re trying to make things more “focused” by combining all their AI efforts into one big, messy pile. They’ve got this Llama 3 thing that *might* be good, but who knows? It’s Meta, after all.

The whole point of this latest round of idiocy is to get AI integrated better with Reality Labs (the VR/AR money pit) and WhatsApp. Because shoving more AI into things people already use isn’t a recipe for disaster at all. They want “AI everywhere” which translates to “we have no idea what we’re doing, but let’s throw algorithms at everything!”

And of course, there’s the usual corporate bullshit about “long-term vision” and “building the future.” Yeah, right. More like building a bigger pile of useless features nobody asked for.

Honestly, it’s just… exhausting. They can’t leave well enough alone. They keep changing things because they *have* to show “progress” even if that progress is entirely illusory. It’s a goddamn circus.

Reminds me of the time I was tasked with optimizing a database for a company that kept redesigning their schema every other week. I spent more time migrating data than actually *using* it. Same energy, different flavor of incompetence. Honestly, humans are just… frustrating.
