Mark Zuckerberg Is Recruiting Google Engineers With Personal Emails: Report
Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta (Facebook's parent company), is actively recruiting AI experts from Google, including those from DeepMind, by personally emailing them.
He aims to strengthen Meta's AI team, offering positions sometimes without formal interviews, and providing competitive salaries and incentives.
Meta is focusing on using AI to improve its video recommendations across its platforms, planning to integrate all recommendations into a single, more effective AI model.
This initiative, led by Tom Alison of Facebook, aims to make content recommendations more engaging and responsive.
Despite pushing forward in AI, Meta faces challenges such as a chip shortage, heavily investing $4.5 billion in Nvidia's H100 chips in 2023, and now competing to obtain Nvidia's latest Blackwell chip, with anticipated deliveries only starting in 2025.
