I read recently (ish, couple months now?) that Meta was reshaping its engineering workforce toward having them train an AI to do their work. Big push to record all user activity with their machines and engineers re-tasked away from engineering to doing the crucial, all-important labeling of this recorded data, so it can be used to train a model explicitly intended to replace them.

So yeah I don't think stuff is going great over there (thank fuck).
