According to a new report from the Financial Times, the Meta AI lab is such a mess (and presumably, Zuck is such a bad hang) that recent hires have threatened to quit within days of joining, and promotions have been handed out just to keep people from leaving. FT points to Shengjia Zhao, Meta’s “chief AI scientist,”

The fall of EV startup Fisker: A comprehensive timeline

techcrunch.com Henry Pickavet 2025-10-24 11:34:12

Henrik Fisker once envisioned a burgeoning EV empire at the startup he named after himself, which was to be led by the Ocean SUV. But cracks started showing in that vision almost as soon as the Ocean hit the road in 2023. Fisker cut production targets multiple times, failed to meet sales goals and laid off staff. What’s more, its Ocean SUV was beset with software and mechanical issues, rendering it inoperable for some. Add troublesome brakes, sudden power loss and doors that wouldn’t open to th
