Meta layoffs: Why Facebook parent company is firing 600 employees from its AI team? Zuckerberg’s motive revealed in Alexandr Wang’s memo

Meta, Facebook’s parent company is laying off 600 employees in its Superintelligence Labs division, chief AI officer said in an internal memo. Alexandr Wang said the cuts would help the company to make decisions more quickly, reports Business Insider.

“By reducing the size of our team, fewer conversations will be required to make a decision, and each person will be more load-bearing and have more scope and impact,” Wang wrote in the internal memo, adding that the affected employees had been notified. Meta didn’t comment beyond the memo.
