Meta’s Already Bleeding AI Talent Two Months Into Hiring Spree

gizmodo.com Ece Yildirim 2025-11-29 22:45:09

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg wants to be the first to achieve AI superintelligence, a type of artificial intelligence that is smarter than the average human, and a concept that some experts are still highly skeptical. To do so, Zuckerberg announced the formation of Meta Superintelligence Labs in late June, a team dedicated to helping AI catch up to and beat its peers in the AI race. With that, he sparked a multi-million dollar hiring frenzy. Meta began poaching talent from competitors, the main ta

In early June, shortly after the beginning of the Atlantic hurricane season, Google unveiled a new model designed specifically to forecast the tracks and intensity of tropical cyclones. Part of the Google DeepMind suite of AI-based weather research models, the "Weather Lab" model for cyclones was a bit of an unknown for meteorologists at its launch. In a blog post at the time, Google said its new model, trained on a vast dataset that reconstructed past weather and a specialized database contain

computer.org Vanessa Castro 2025-12-05 09:35:39

Struggling between the comfort of an individual contributor (IC) role and the desire to move into software engineering leadership? It’s a tough fork in the road that many engineers face. The idea of stepping away from hands-on technical work to move into leadership requires mastering new skills, stepping into the spotlight, and strategic thinking. It feels like a major departure from their comfort zone of code development, testing, and debugging. But the truth is, growth happens outside the comf

Y Combinator files brief supporting Epic Games, says store fees stifle startups

Startup accelerator and venture capital firm Y Combinator (YC) today filed an amicus brief supporting Epic Games in Epic's continued legal fight with Apple. Y Combinator says that Apple's "anti-steering restraints" have long inhibited the growth and development of technology companies that monetize goods and services through apps. The company calls on the court to deny Apple's appeal and uphold the order that required Apple to change its App Store linking rules in the United States. Back in

Monarch Butterflies Are Losing Their Navigational Abilities. You Can Guess Why

Each fall, millions of eastern North American monarch butterflies migrate up to 3,000 miles south to the mountains of central Mexico, then return to their northern range in the spring. These winged insects rely on a complex navigation system to go to and from their overwintering sites, and new research suggests climate change may be messing with it. Monarch butterflies have two distinct biological “compasses.” The primary one infers direction based on their circadian rhythm and the position of
