A lawyer who used to represent Meta in its copyright battle against publishers is now admitting that the company's AI appears to have ingested pirated books — and if he's right, CEO Mark Zuckerberg could owe upwards of $1 billion in damages.

Zuckerberg is throwing pro-athlete-level salaries at top AI researchers. But for many, prestige, trust, and tribal loyalties matter more.

The negotiations started as just one billionaire tech founder talking to another. Meta Platforms CEO Mark Zuckerberg approached Scale AI CEO Alexandr Wang in mid-April about a potentially industry-shaking deal.

It’s easily the most expensive hire of all time, dwarfing the billions that Google spent to rehire Noam Shazeer and his core team from Character.AI (a deal Zuckerberg passed on). “Opportunities of this magnitude often come at a cost,” Wang wrote in his note to employees this week. “In this instance, that cost is my departure.”

Meta CEO Zuckerberg is reportedly frustrated with the progress of Llama 4 and is forming an AI expert team to pursue "superintelligence," CNN reports.

Mark Zuckerberg's Meta AI app has become the saddest place on the internet with its public feed of personal overshares.

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg is personally assembling a team to achieve a “superintelligence,” machines that are capable of surpassing human capabilities, according to a Bloomberg report.

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg is reportedly building a superintelligence team to develop artificial general intelligence, recruiting 50 experts amid competition with OpenAI and Google.

Google is reportedly cutting ties with Scale AI after Meta acquired a 49% stake in the data-labeling startup, according to Benzinga. Google was previously Scale AI’s largest customer, and it is reportedly planning to end its relationship with the company.

Mark Zuckerberg says the golden age of social media is over as platforms shift from personal connections to mass entertainment and AI-driven content.
