Meta will begin removing monetization privileges and stop recommending content from accounts that repeatedly post unoriginal content, many times aided by AI.

The researchers argue that CoT monitoring can help researchers detect when models begin to exploit flaws in their training, manipulate data, or fall victim to malicious user manipulation.

Some of these AR glasses, folks... I'm telling you, they make Meta's billions of dollars of annual R&D seem like bad spending.

Scale AI said it’s cutting 14% of its staff weeks after Meta invested $14.3 billion in the startup and hired a number of top staffers.

Mark Zuckerberg created a $1.8 trln empire by developing Facebook and acquiring Instagram. He also squandered money on the metaverse and struggled to integrate WhatsApp. Blending the two growth strategies portends a machine-learning mess,
