IMHO Meta should be investing/inventing AI. When the AI org was younger it was doing some impressive open source work. Then it bloated and we got Llama 3 and not much since. I don't know if they can recover that earlier magic or if the ship has sailed; there's a good chance the super effective early folks got fed up and left or are burned out by the bureaucracy, but if I were in charge my first move would also be to cut half the department.

I just don’t see how that helps their business at all. Does Llama 3 correlate with any sales? Maybe some momentary market gains as everyone was chasing AI but at some point the people smart enough to avoid built-here stuff will win. They probably are more focused on using AI instead of making it.
