Meta commits absurd money to top Google, Microsoft in critical race
Apparently, Meta Platforms (META) CEO Mark Zuckerberg has been up to more than just making the rounds on the podcast circuit. In recent months, the man behind the company that runs Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, and Oculus has been on seemingly every manosphere podcast out there. Related: Facebook (Meta) makes a big deal with UFC In May, he debuted yet another new look on This Past Weekend with Theo Von, where he talked about how college doesn't do a good job of preparing people for their careers. In January, he appeared on The Joe Rogan Experience to speak about online censorship, the Covid vaccine, bots on Facebook, and encrypted messaging, among other things. More recently, he spoke with Ben Thompson of Stratechery about AI and where he sees social media going in the future. More on Meta: Meta (Facebook) shocks retail world with unexpected newsMeta quietly plans rude awakening for employees after layoffsSurprising earnings send Meta Platforms stock soaring While the interviews are great at increasing Zuckerberg's profile, they don't do much to move the needle for investors looking for Meta to debut its next big thing. For years, Zuckerberg's focus was the metaverse, but after tens of billions of dollars and years of development, the project hasn't gained the user base Meta was hoping for. Meta's Horizon Worlds virtual social platform had less than 200,000 monthly active users shortly after its launch in 2022, well short of the company's expectations of 500,000 users. Meta has shifted its focus to AI growth in recent years, and on Tuesday, a new report shows just how serious the company has become about topping its rivals. Mark Zuckerberg is applying the same focus he brought to building the metaverse to building out Meta's artificial intelligence capabilities. Zuckerberg is personally overseeing the creation of a "superintelligence" team, and the company is offering nine-figure compensation packages to attract top talent, according to a Bloomberg report. He believes Meta can beat competitors like Microsoft, Google, and OpenAI to achieve artificial general intelligence. AGI is the theoretical limit of what AI can achieve - machines performing tasks as well as, or better than, humans. Related: Gig work CEO warns of scary future for job seekers Bloomberg reported that the superteam will feature about 50 people, most of whom Zuckerberg will recruit personally. He's arranged the desks at the company's headquarters so the new staff will sit near him. The team is only one aspect of Meta's AGI strategy. According to a report in The Information on Tuesday, Meta is close to finalizing a $15 billion investment in Scale AI. If completed, the deal would become the company's largest-ever acquisition. Scale AI provides training data to everyone from Microsoft to Google to OpenAI. The investment would give Meta a 49% stake in the company, and CEO Alesandr Wang would join the superteam. The push for artificial intelligence that can perform tasks as well as or better than humans will inevitably lead to societal upheaval. The most immediate concern is about the jobs that will be lost to automation. When big companies like Meta and Alphabet want to save on costs, headcount is often one of the first places they look. Meta is currently laying off about 3,600 employees, whom the company says are underperforming. The company says it is eliminating redundancies, and it's true the tech sector went on a hiring spree during the pandemic. Now, however, it is replacing many of those positions with machine learning engineers. Machine learning is a subset of artificial intelligence focused on enabling machines to learn from data without explicit programming from humans. In other words, Meta has been laying off workers to hire other workers to build products, which will eventually lead to more layoffs.

Beloved Oregon Restaurant Chain, Bugatti's, Closes Its Last Location
Bugatti's Italian restaurant has developed a loyal following over the years. Its founder is one of the wealthiest people in Oregon, a former newspaper magnate. But now its last location has closed its doors after more than two decades in business. "Bugatti's Oregon City officially closed Sunday after 23 years," wrote Oregon Live on June 9. The restaurant chain's closure marked the end of its last location in the state, the site reported, saying it was a "local Italian chain owned by one of Oregon's wealthiest people." The final restaurant was in the Portland area. The restaurant announced it was closing in a Facebook post on June 5. "To our much-loved community of Oregon City: It is with sad hearts we announce Bugatti's is closing. The last day will be 6.8.2025," the chain wrote. "The reasons and struggles are many. We will be focusing on a busy last week and taking care of staff as best we can. We truly appreciate your patronage and support over the many years and consider our tenure a triumph. Thank you, Oregon City!!" On June 8, the restaurant posted on Facebook, "What a glorious send off for Bugatti's. All our guests came out in droves, our wonderful staff worked their tails off, and we were able to say goodbye to each other. What an incredible team. These are a talented bunch and any company would be lucky to have them. Lots of love to all." In 2024, the restaurant chain closed its other location, the original one. Willamette Week described that restaurant as a "stalwart of West Linn's dining scene for more than 30 years," and reported that the chain was owned by "industrialist Robert Pamplin Jr." The news site noted then that Pamplin was "better known for his ownership of Ross Island Sand & Gravel and for Pamplin Communications, which until earlier this year owned the Portland Tribune and 24 other Oregon newspapers." Customers declared their sadness on the restaurant's Facebook page. "Going to miss you so much Bugatti's you've been my family's special go-to restaurant my entire life. Thank you for so many amazing memories," wrote one. "This feels like waking up to family member passed away. Will definitely miss Bugatti's," wrote another person. A man wrote, "We wish all the employees the best moving forward. You were our go to spot for business lunches and you never disappointed. Our company execs really enjoyed coming to your restaurant. We also had some great date nights before heading to the movies. You will be missed."Beloved Oregon Restaurant Chain, Bugatti's, Closes Its Last Location first appeared on Men's Journal on Jun 10, 2025

Most of 16th Street reopens in $175M construction project. Here's what locals think
DENVER (KDVR) — The years-long construction on the former 16th Street Mall is wrapping up this year, and most of the fences have come down. While some people love the new area, others still won't step foot downtown. What was known as the 16th Street Mall is finishing up a major reconstruction project, where blocks from Market Street to Cleveland Place are being revamped in what's expected to be a $175 million project to bring life back into the city. After adding new ground-floor realtors, patios, trees, art installations, security and a new name, most of the blocks are now open to the public. 'A whole new feel': Here's what's new on 16th Street in Denver What's now known as 16th Street reopened at the end of May, with blocks from Market Street to Glenarm Place open along the strip. While people are heading downtown and loving the new strip, the street is still considered the same by other locals. FOX31 asked its viewers on Facebook: 'What do you think of the 'new' 16th Street?' and less than 24 hours and over 500 comments later, many people had differing opinions on the construction project. Throughout the hundreds of comments, there were four main thoughts on the new street: Many Facebook users said they loved the new street, and it's 'actually pretty nice' and it's a '100% major improvement.' 'It looks great. Pedicabbing downtown on this street again has been fun. The people are out again. For the people claiming it's filled with crime/homeless you clearly don't get outside enough and haven't seen it since reopening,' said one user. People said they specifically loved the greenery and trees on the street, the beer garden area and open container zones and the seating options. Others said they loved the art, live music and options for families. While some people loved the new area, others are hesitant to head downtown again. Some said they don't feel safe going downtown alone, while others said it was in the middle of Denver, which is a 'No Go' for their family. Businesses say rebound on Denver's 16th Street Mall tied to new public safety efforts 'Still downtown. Still won't go,' said one user. Other users believed the project was a waste of money, and it wasn't worth three years and $170 million in construction. People specifically said the street looks the same and had the same problems, while others believed millions for a change in the name was pointless. 'I think it shouldn't have cost $100,000 to a marketing firm to remove the word 'Mall' from '16th Street Mall'. I'd have done it for half that amount,' said one user. Others believed that the street was moving in the right direction, but would like to see more changes, like public restrooms, the chess tables on the 'old' 16th Street Mall, improved traffic on cross streets, more businesses and less empty space. 'A work in progress that still has a ways to go, but I'm glad the investment and commitement has been made,' said one user. While people are looking for more, 16th Street isn't complete yet. There are still four unfinished blocks, and the entire project is expected to be finished by this fall. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
