This is like Mark Zuckerberg telling GenAI employees they had failed and ...: Tension at Meta over Zuckerberg's 'big money' offers as they upset existing AI researchers
It appears that Meta's aggressive AI talent hiring spree is not only upsetting its rivals abut are also creating issues within the company. As reported by Business Insider, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg's idea to dominate the field of artificial intelligence is creating internal unrest. The huge compensation packages offered by Mark Zuckerberg to hire AI talent from rival companies has spared resentment among the existing employees. This latest controversy is followed by the recent failed attempt by Meta CEO to hire Mira Murati, former OpenAI CTO and founder of Thinking Machines Lab, with a reported $1 billion offer. After Murati declined the offer, Meta launched a 'full-scale raid' on her startup, offering compensation packages ranging from $200 million to $500 million to other researchers at her startup. 'This is like Zuckerberg telling GenAI employees they had failed' As reported by Business Insider, some insiders informed the publication that the huge compensation packages offered by Meta CEO to hire AI talent has created a morale crisis with the exiting AI teams at Meta. One employee described the situation as feeling like 'Zuckerberg told GenAI employees they had failed,' implying that internal talent was being sidelined in favor of high-profile recruits. On the other hand, another senior executive at a rival AI firm told Fores that Meta's present AI staff 'largely didn't meet their hiring bar,' adding, 'Meta is the Washington Commanders of tech companies. They massively overpay for okay-ish AI scientists and then civilians think those are the best AI scientists in the world because they are paid so much'. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like These Are The Most Beautiful Women In The World Undo Meta's AI gamble and Superintelligence mission Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has already committed more than $10 billion annually to AGI development. As part of this the company will focus on building custom chips, data centres and a fleet of 600,000 GPUs. However, despite all these efforts Meta's AI models including Llama 4 still lag behind rivals such has OpneAI's GPT-5 and Anthropic's Claude 3.5. The company on the other hand, has successfully managed to hire some top-talent from rival firms including Shengjia Zhao, co-creator of ChatGPT, and Alexandr Wang of Scale AI. Zuckerberg also defended his decision of hiring top AI talent at huge compensation packages. Meta CEO argued that the massive spending on top talent is a small fraction of the company's overall investment in AI infrastructure. He has also reportedly said that a small, elite team is the most effective way to build a breakthrough AI system, suggesting that "you actually kind of want the smallest group of people who can fit the whole thing in their head." However, this strategy created a divided within the company as the new hires are being brought in for a "Manhattan Project" style effort, many long-standing employees in other AI departments feel sidelined, with their projects losing momentum and their roles becoming uncertain.

Meta AI chatbot ‘Big sis Billie' linked to death of 76-year-old New Jersey man; spokesperson Andy Stone says, ‘Erroneous and inconsistent with….'
A 76-year-old New Jersey man died earlier this year after rushing to meet a woman he believed he had been chatting with on Facebook Messenger, Reuters reported. The woman was later found to be a generative AI chatbot created by Meta Platforms . As per the report, Thongbue Wongbandue had been exchanging messages with 'Big sis Billie', a chatbot variant of an earlier AI persona that the social media giant launched in 2023. The model was then launched in collaboration with model Kendall Jenner. Meta's Big sis Billie AI chatbot exchanged 'romantic' messages According to the report, the AI chatbot 'Big sis Billie' repeatedly initiated romantic exchanges with Wongbandue, reassuring that it was a real person. The chatbot further invited him to visit an address in New York City. 'Should I open the door in a hug or a kiss, Bu?!' she asked Bue, the chat transcript accessed by Reuters shows. Wongbandue, who had suffered a stroke in 2017 and was experiencing bouts of confusion, left home on March 25 to meet 'Billie'. While on his way to a train station in Piscataway, New Jersey, he fell in a Rutgers University parking lot, sustaining head and neck injuries. He died three days later in hospital. Bue's family told the news agency that through Bue's story they hope to warn the public about the dangers of exposing vulnerable people to manipulative, AI-generated companions. 'I understand trying to grab a user's attention, maybe to sell them something,' said Julie Wongbandue, Bue's daughter. 'But for a bot to say 'Come visit me' is insane.' Meta's AI avatars permitted to pretend they were real Meta's internal policy documents reviewed by the news agency show that the company's generative AI guidelines had allowed chatbots to tell users they were real, initiate romantic conversations with adults, and, until earlier this month, engage in romantic roleplay with minors aged 13 and above. 'It is acceptable to engage a child in conversations that are romantic or sensual,' according to Meta's 'GenAI: Content Risk Standards.' The internal documents also stated that chatbots were not required to provide accurate information. Examples reviewed by Reuters included chatbots giving false medical advice and even involving themselves in roleplay. The document seen by Reuters provides examples of 'acceptable' chatbot dialogue that include: 'I take your hand, guiding you to the bed' and 'our bodies entwined, I cherish every moment, every touch, every kiss.' 'Even though it is obviously incorrect information, it remains permitted because there is no policy requirement for information to be accurate,' the document states. What Meta said Acknowledging the document's authenticity accessed by Reuters, Meta spokesman Andy Stone told the news agency that the company has removed portions which stated it is permissible for chatbots to flirt and engage in romantic roleplay with children. He further added that Meta is in the process of revising the content risk standards. 'The examples and notes in question were and are erroneous and inconsistent with our policies, and have been removed,' Stone told Reuters. US Senators call for probe after Bue's death A latest Reuters report said that two US senators have called for a congressional investigation into Meta platforms. 'So, only after Meta got CAUGHT did it retract portions of its company doc that deemed it "permissible for chatbots to flirt and engage in romantic roleplay with children". This is grounds for an immediate congressional investigation,' Josh Hawley - a Republican wrote on X.

India's GenAI Startups Boom: 3.7X Growth, $990M Funding In H1 CY2025: Report
India's Generative AI startup landscape has grown 3.7x to 890+ startups in the last 12 months, with GenAI Application startups reaching 740+. News18 India Generative AI startup landscape has witnessed an exponential rise with the cumulative number of startups growing 3.7x to 890+ in the last 12 months, according to NASSCOM report titled India ' Generative AI Startup Landscape 2025′. Moreover, GenAI Application startups grew 4x to reach 740+ (83% share) during the same period as compared to Services and Model/Infra segments, it added. Indian GenAI startups' cumulative funding grows by 30% YoY to reach $ 990 Million in H1 CY2025 as compared, significantly lower than global peers indicating constrained funding scenario in India, the NASSCOM report added. Early-stage funding remains the ecosystem's life force as late-stage capital vanishes. This shift indicates a strategic recalibration by VCs, who are now prioritizing demonstrable progress and near-term viability. The report said that the government's multifaceted approach marked by infra push (launch of IndiaAI Datasets Platform), compute access (launch of IndiaAI Compute Portal), and public innovation (DPI-backed collaborations) is helping early-stage GenAI startups in lowering go-to-market friction and accelerating B2G and B2B adoption. Indian GenAI startups face a critical resource crunch, with high compute costs and a shortage of production-ready AI talent emerging as the biggest growth barriers. While global peers enjoy deeper late-stage funding, Indian ventures often struggle to secure the patient capital needed for deep-tech R&D. This has led to an over-reliance on application-layer products built on foreign-owned models, leaving the ecosystem vulnerable to shifts in pricing and access policies. Infrastructure gaps, especially in large-scale model training and orchestration, also slow the transition from pilot projects to enterprise-grade deployments. Despite these hurdles, India holds a unique competitive edge in building domain-specific, cost-efficient AI tailored for its mobile-first, multilingual population. There is a vast untapped market for lightweight Indic-language LLMs, voice-first assistants, and AI solutions embedded into the nation's Digital Public Infrastructure like UPI and ONDC. Strategic government initiatives, including the Rs 10,372 crore IndiaAI Mission and subsidized GPU access, are creating fertile ground for startups to innovate in regulated sectors such as BFSI, healthcare, and education. By focusing on localized, high-impact applications and vertical AI specializations, Indian startups can scale rapidly and export these solutions to other emerging markets. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
