They work for Meta. I would expect them to be miserable.

The company has been dumping 10 figures a year into trying to build a VR world no one wants, with nothing to show for it after the better part of a decade. At some point, you expect morale to decrease.

They'll use the same excuse when AI perfects the Torment Nexus, I'm sure.

Jensen Huang to college grads: "Run. Don't walk" toward AI

https://www.axios.com/2026/05/...

Nvidia founder and CEO Jensen Huang told graduates at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh yesterday that demand for AI infrastructure is creating a "once-in-a-generation opportunity to reindustrialize America and restore the nation's capacity to build."

Why it matters: With many college grads fearing AI could obliterate their career dreams, Huang pointed to boundless opportunity as a "new industry is being born. A new era of science and discovery is beginning ... I cannot imagine a more exciting time to begin your life's work."

Nvidia, which makes AI chips, is the world's most valuable company. Huang told 5,800 recipients of undergraduate and graduate degrees that the AI buildout will require plumbers, electricians, ironworkers, and builders for chip factories, data centers and advanced manufacturing facilities.

"No generation has entered the world with more powerful tools â" or greater opportunities â" than you," he said. "We are all standing at the same starting line. This is your moment to help shape what comes next. So run. Don't walk."

"Every major technological revolution in history created fear alongside opportunity," Huang added. "When society engages technology openly, responsibly, and optimistically, we expand human potential far more than we diminish it."

Match fixing is a thing but in the major sports, the TV revenue is larger than betting revenue by several orders of magnitude.

If it's regular sports betting, then people aren't winning because of insider information.

Actually 76.5% isn't very good. I expected it to be higher.

Americans on average want increased benefits and lowered taxes.

That may seem like a contradiction, and it is; but anyone who increases taxes or lowers benefits gets voted out of office. Even Trump gave up getting rid of Obamacare.

Note they didn't ask people to stop submitted AI code. They asked people to stop submitting AI slop.

Presumably if the code produced is high quality, they will be willing to accept it.

It's a smart strategy IF you don't mind of your most competent employees leave first. At Facebook with its current strategy they might be ok with that.

Most of their good employees left a while ago anyway.

All that and you still can't help bragging about how many people you've managed.

This is not news that matters. Normally I don't complain, but...

That's why you're not climbing the corporate ladder. Get more people under you ASAP. Learn to fight off your rivals. Or stay down.

Wrong. Managers are always scheming to get as many people below them as possible. Claiming savings is an effective short-term strategy that only works in specific circumstances, and it only works as a strategy when it results in more people below you on the org tree.

So true. Same with programming languages, too. Good engineers solve problems in the constraints they are given.
