Meta AI Team in Revolt
About this episode
Internal unrest at Meta's Applied AI team highlights employee frustrations over AI training roles and surveillance.
Tensions are boiling at Meta as internal unrest erupts in its Applied AI team, sparked by a livestream hijacking where an employee publicly cursed a senior exec — a sign of deep frustration among 6,500 workers who feel forced into soul-crushing AI training roles. Employees are calling themselves “draftees” and protesting a surveillance program tracking their computer activity, while CEO Mark Zuckerberg admits mistakes were made — even though he’s betting on internal talent over contractors and just spent $13B on a data-labeling startup.
