Times of India | Amid mass layoffs at Meta Mark Zuckerberg is hiring a 'beach water person' for his luxurious Hawaii ranch

AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

Meta announced a fresh round of global cuts on May 20, trimming about 10 % of its workforce while shifting roughly 7,000 employees to new AI‑focused projects. Amid these layoffs, Mark Zuckerberg’s family office listed an unusual opening for a “beach water person” at his sprawling ranch on Kauai, Hawaii. The role combines private lifeguard duties with water‑sport assistance—covering beach and pool safety, boat deckhand work, and guiding guests in paddleboarding, snorkeling and other ocean activities—for a seasonal, on‑call worker on the billionaire’s luxury compound. The posting, first spotted by WIRED on Greenhouse, has since vanished, drawing attention to the contrast between Meta’s workforce reductions and Zuckerberg’s personal hiring for his private ocean‑focused lifestyle.

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan are hiring a seasonal, on‑call “Beach Water Person” for their family office on Kauai, Hawaii, where they own a large compound. The role is essentially a lifeguard position—covering both beach and pool duties—and also involves instructing activities such as stand‑up paddleboarding, canoe paddling, snorkeling and other ocean‑based recreation. The job listing, posted on Greenhouse under the West 10 family‑office banner, uses an unconventional title that has drawn commentary for its lack of clarity, but the core responsibilities are straightforward water‑safety and leisure‑activity supervision.

qwant news | Bloodbath at Mark Zuckerberg-backed California school as tech titan and his wife strip funding

AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

A Bay Area private school called The Primary School—funded by Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan’s Chan Zuckerberg Initiative and providing tuition‑free education for low‑income students since 2016—announced on April 15 that it will permanently close this summer, laying off 147 employees effective June 12. The school, which serves about 550 students across campuses in East Palo Alto and San Leandro, called the shutdown a “very difficult decision,” and its closure is expected to overwhelm nearby districts such as Ravenswood City School District with an immediate crisis of displaced students. While the Initiative will redirect $50 million over the next few years into education‑savings plans and support specialists for Bay‑Area communities, Meta, Zuckerberg’s company, is slated to spend $115‑$135 billion on artificial‑intelligence projects this year, roughly double its 2025 AI budget.

Zuckerberg & Chan: "Cure all disease by century's end" laughed off by scientists—now AI makes it plausible sooner. Biohubs build "periodic table for biology" tools biology lacks.

Pediatrician Chan's wake-up: Kids with mystery genes, vague PDFs—no answers. Basic science = "pipeline of hope." Zuckerberg: Tools precede breakthroughs (microscope → bacteria).

Zuckerberg: nasi naukowcy nie chcą więcej laboratoriów. „Oni po prostu chcą GPU”

Mark Zuckerberg i Priscilla Chan, którzy kierują swoją wartą miliardy dolarów inicjatywą filantropijną Chan Zuckerberg Initiative (CZI), ogłosili niedawno zmianę strategii.

Stawiają teraz na naukę napędzaną przez AI. W niedawnym wywiadzie dla „The a16Z Podcast” para w idealny sposób podsumowała, co jest obecnie najważniejszą walutą w badaniach.

Okazuje się, że w nowoczesnych laboratoriach biologicznych, które finansuje CZI, nikt nie prosi o większe biura ani więcej personelu. „Nie rozbudowujemy zbytnio powierzchni [laboratoryjnej], ale rozbudowujemy naszą moc obliczeniową (compute)” – powiedziała Priscilla Chan. „Naukowcy, oni nie chcą pracowników pracujących dla nich, nie chcą przestrzeni, oni po prostu chcą GPU” – dodał Mark Zuckerberg.

„Nowa przestrzeń laboratoryjna”

Chan, która z wykształcenia jest pediatrą, dodała, że to właśnie moc obliczeniowa jest dziś nową przestrzenią badawczą. „W pewnym sensie to jest nowa przestrzeń laboratoryjna. I jest znacznie droższa niż tradycyjne laboratorium biologiczne” – stwierdziła.

Plany te są już wdrażane. Biohub, w partnerstwie z firmą EvolutionaryScale, ogłosił, że zwiększy swoją moc obliczeniową z obecnego 1000 GPU do „około 10 000” GPU do 2028 roku.

Jak podsumowuje amerykański Business Insider, ten trend widać wszędzie. Nawet w sprawozdaniach finansowych firmy Meta słowo „compute” (moc obliczeniowa) padało wielokrotnie, podczas gdy słowo „metaverse” nie padło ani razu.

Unia stawia zarzuty: Meta i TikTok nie chroniły dzieci. Grozi im 6% kary z globalnych obrotów

Fascinating.

In July 2020, Priscilla Chan comforted Chan Zuckerberg Initiative staff after George Floyd’s murder, promising support for Black communities and meaningful change. Fast-forward to Trump’s second inauguration: Chan, known for empathy and investing millions in biomedical research, appeared alongside Zuckerberg and MAGA figures—sparking confusion among admirers who see her as the antithesis of Trump. As Zuckerberg cozied up to conservative circles, many question what Chan felt honoring a president so at odds with her values. Is this a signal of changing alliances?
