Who would've guessed it would go this way!

Long-time Meta employees will try to sabotage the new hot-shot hires to either regain some power or just to say "see, we weren't that bad". Alex Wang in particular, is only 28 years old so a lot of older people will not really respect him.

> Wang and Zuckerberg have struggled to align on a timeline to achieve the chief executive’s goal of reaching superintelligence

It's a research problem. You can't treat this like normal business.

This is also why it does not make sense to invest in it without the usual research incentives, but I won't complain.

On the one hand, I think people on the outside(maybe as well as people on the inside) are bad at differentiating between good conflict and bad conflict. A shift like this is going to cause drama, and there’s no way to integrate all these personalities without problems.

On the other hand, I wonder if AGI will be Silicon Valley’s white whale.

“Wang and Zuckerberg have struggled to align a timeline to achieve the chief executive’s goal of reaching superintelligence” is a bananas sentence.
