Drama at Meta AI’s employee-only event: Presentation hijacked and executive insulted

A livestreamed, employee-only Meta presentation was hijacked this week by a worker who demanded a senior AI executive be told "he's a piece of shit," exposing deep unrest inside Meta's Applied AI unit. The 6,500-person team, formed in March to support Superintelligence Labs, has staff calling the work "soul-crushing" and "the gulag." Amid layoffs and a keystroke-tracking backlash, CEO Mark Zuckerberg admitted in a memo that Meta had "made mistakes."
