'Tell Him He's a Piece of Shit': Meta's New AI Unit Is a Total Mess

'Tell Him He's a Piece of Shit': Meta's New AI Unit Is a Total Mess Executives and employees alike are struggling with Meta's chaotic AI strategy, according to sources and internal discussions reviewed by WIRED. Someone interrupted a livestreamed, employee-only presentation at Meta earlier this week with an expletive-filled outburst about "being the company's bitch," according to a recording heard by WIRED. The individual then asked the people leading the call to write to a specific Meta AI executive and tell him that he's a piece of shit. One of the presenters covered their face with their hands, according to a witness. The incident, which took place on a call open to thousands of employees, reflects growing frustration inside the company's Applied AI team, which was formed in March to support the work of AI researchers at Meta Superintelligence Labs .
