“Sources familiar with the matter say the company (#META) could lay off as much as 20 percent of its staff, eliminating roughly 15,800 positions. That would be the largest series of #layoffs at the company since it #terminated 22,000 workers over just a few months between November 2022 and early 2023.

Word of the potential #downsizing comes after Meta signaled that it was all but giving up on #VR and the #Metaverse, slashing budgets and closing studios. Instead, the company has been spending big to attract #AITalent, build #DataCenters, and acquire companies like #Moltbook.”

I note the “silver bullet” approach by a company who was founded on PHP widgets and #SocialMedia.

Peter Steinberger built OpenClaw in Vienna - 196,000 GitHub stars in three months, becoming the most visible AI agent project. No European investor or institution made an offer. OpenAI hired him over a weekend of calls. The pattern persists: Europe develops talent, America writes the checks. The Draghi report found only one European tech company (SAP) in the global top 100.

OpenAI removed its six-month vesting cliff as AI companies burn through talent retention tools. The company now spends $6 billion annually on stock compensation - nearly half its projected revenue - while employees wait until a 2030 IPO to see real returns. The math shows how unsustainable current AI hiring economics have become when Meta and Google offer $100M packages for top researchers.

Việt Nam đang đối mặt với thách thức lớn về nhân lực Trí tuệ nhân tạo (AI). Lực lượng chuyên gia AI chất lượng cao, có khả năng đi sâu và giải quyết các bài toán phức tạp, hiện tại còn rất mỏng và thiếu hụt nghiêm trọng.
