Google has offered buyouts to thousands of its US-based employees as part of its cost-cutting efforts amid the rise of artificial intelligence and massive investments in the technology.
The 'voluntary exit' has been offered to employees from the search organisation and core engineering teams, among others. The Verge obtained a memo sent out to employees by Nick Fox, the head of Google's Knowledge and Information group, saying that the buyout program offers 'a supportive exit path for those of you who don't feel aligned with our strategy, don't feel energized by your work, or are having difficulty meeting the expectations of your role.'

Meta invests in AI firm Scale and recruits its CEO for 'superintelligence' team
By Matt O'Brien Meta said Thursday it is making a large investment in artificial intelligence company Scale and recruiting its CEO Alexandr Wang to join a team developing "superintelligence" at the tech giant. The move reflects a push by Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg to revive AI efforts at the parent company of Facebook and Instagram as it faces tough competition from rivals such as Google and OpenAI. Meta announced what it called a "strategic partnership and investment" with Scale late Thursday but didn't disclose the financial terms of the deal. Scale said the added investment puts its market value at over $29 billion. Scale said it will remain an independent company but the agreement will "substantially expand Scale and Meta's commercial relationship." Meta will hold a minority of Scale's outstanding equity. Wang, though joining Meta, will remain on Scale's board of directors. Replacing him is a new interim Scale CEO Jason Droege, who was previously the company's chief strategy officer and had past executive roles at Uber Eats and Axon. It won't be the first time a big tech company has gobbled up talent and products at innovative AI startups without formally acquiring them. Microsoft hired key staff from startup Inflection AI, including co-founder and CEO Mustafa Suleyman, who now runs Microsoft's AI division. Google pulled in the leaders of AI chatbot company while Amazon made a deal with San Francisco-based Adept that sent its CEO and key employees to the e-commerce giant. Amazon also got a license to Adept's AI systems and datasets. Wang was a 19-year-old student at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology when he and co-founder Lucy Guo started Scale in 2016. They won influential backing that summer from the startup incubator Y Combinator, which was led at the time by Sam Altman, now the CEO of OpenAI. Wang dropped out of MIT, following a trajectory similar to that of Zuckerberg, who quit Harvard University to start Facebook more than a decade earlier. Scale's pitch was to supply the human labor needed to improve AI systems, hiring workers to draw boxes around a pedestrian or a dog in a street photo so that self-driving cars could better predict what's in front of them. General Motors and Toyota have been among Scale's customers. What Scale offered to AI developers was a more tailored version of Amazon's Mechanical Turk, which had long been a go-to service for matching freelance workers with temporary online jobs. More recently, the growing commercialization of AI large language models - the technology behind OpenAI's ChatGPT, Google's Gemini and Meta's Llama - brought a new market for Scale's annotation teams. The company claims to service "every leading large language model," including from Anthropic, OpenAI, Meta and Microsoft, by helping to fine tune their training data and test their performance. It's not clear what the Meta deal will mean for Scale's other customers. Wang has also sought to build close relationships with the U.S. government, winning military contracts to supply AI tools to the Pentagon and attending President Donald Trump's inauguration. The head of Trump's science and technology office, Michael Kratsios, was an executive at Scale for the four years between Trump's first and second terms. Meta has also begun providing AI services to the federal government. Meta has taken a different approach to AI than many of its rivals, releasing its flagship Llama system for free as an open-source product that enables people to use and modify some of its key components. Meta says more than a billion people use its AI products each month, but it's also widely seen as lagging behind competitors such as OpenAI and Google in encouraging consumer use of large language models, also known as LLMs. It hasn't yet released its purportedly most advanced model, Llama 4 Behemoth, despite previewing it in April as "one of the smartest LLMs in the world and our most powerful yet." Meta's chief AI scientist Yann LeCun, who in 2019 was a winner of computer science's top prize for his pioneering AI work, has expressed skepticism about the tech industry's current focus on large language models. "How do we build AI systems that understand the physical world, that have persistent memory, that can reason and can plan?" LeCun asked at a French tech conference last year. These are all characteristics of intelligent behavior that large language models "basically cannot do, or they can only do them in a very superficial, approximate way," LeCun said. Instead, he emphasized Meta's interest in "tracing a path towards human-level AI systems, or perhaps even superhuman." When he returned to France's annual VivaTech conference again on Wednesday, LeCun dodged a question about the pending Scale deal but said his AI research team's plan has "always been to reach human intelligence and go beyond it." "It's just that now we have a clearer vision for how to accomplish this," he said. LeCun co-founded Meta's AI research division more than a decade ago with Rob Fergus, a fellow professor at New York University. Fergus later left for Google but returned to Meta last month after a 5-year absence to run the research lab, replacing longtime director Joelle Pineau. Fergus wrote on LinkedIn last month that Meta's commitment to long-term AI research "remains unwavering" and described the work as "building human-level experiences that transform the way we interact with technology."

Google Cloud outage disrupts popular internet platforms including OpenAI, Spotify, Shopify, and Discord
A Google Cloud outage that lasted for several hours on June 12 affected hugely popular online platforms such as Spotify, Discord, Google, AWS, Snapchat, and others across the world, until the issue was fixed. Downdetector, which compiles user reports of platform outages, recorded over 13,000 Google Cloud outage reports in the last 24 hours, with many reports pointing to issues with the server connection. Most of these reports came from major U.S. cities such as Chicago, New York, San Francisco, and Atlanta. Meanwhile, over 1,000 reports were logged in India. As per the status updates from Google Cloud, issues were noticed on June 12 at 10:51 PDT and continued until all services were fully restored at 18:18 PDT. The outage was widespread and affected cities all over the world, including Mumbai and Delhi. Google initially noted that multiple Google Cloud Platform products were experiencing varying levels of impacted services, and continued to provide updates. The root cause was identified, but Google said it would publish an analysis of this incident once it has completed its internal investigation. A number of Google offerings were also affected, including Google App Engine, Google BigQuery, Google Cloud Bigtable, Google Cloud Composer, Google Cloud Console, Google Cloud DNS, Google Cloud Dataflow, Google Cloud SQL, Google Cloud Storage, and Google Compute Engine, amongst others. 'Vertex AI Online Prediction is full recovered as of 18:18 PDT. All the services are fully recovered from the service issue[.] We will publish analysis of this incident once we have completed our internal investigation. We thank you for your patience while we worked on resolving the issue,' posted Google Cloud on its service health webpage. Google Cloud's revenue last year came to $43.2 billion, which represents a 31% increase from 2023, reported AP. Almost a year ago, a buggy update from the American cybersecurity company CrowdStrike led to outages for millions of devices using certain versions of Microsoft Windows. The outage disrupted the aviation industry, medical appointments all over the world, and even stopped many digital payments.

Goldman Sachs Tells Job Seekers To Ditch AI But Uses It To Evaluate Them
Goldman Sachs has warned job applicants against using artificial intelligence (AI) during the interview process. The American investment bank's recruitment team sent out an email to prospective job seekers, reminding them of its expectations for interviews. The applicants are encouraged to study the firm's financial results, business principles and core values, but not rely on AI to bail them out, according to a report in Fortune. "As a reminder, Goldman Sachs prohibits the use of any external sources, including ChatGPT or Google search engine, during the interview process," read the email. While Goldman has warned against AI use, it utilises HireVue, an AI-powered talent evaluation platform, that asks behavioural questions that reveal applicants' skills. A typical virtual interview allows for 30 seconds of prep after the question, followed by a two-minute response time. "This language is consistent with what we send to any of our campus applicants across all positions. We want to hear from our applicants in their own voice," said Jennifer Zuccarelli, the bank's spokesperson. Goldman Sachs is not the only company to dissaude its applicants from using the technology. AI giant Anthropic last month told job-seekers that they can't use the advanced technology to ace the interview process. "Please do not use AI assistants during the application process. We want to understand your personal interest in Anthropic without mediation through an AI system, and we also want to evaluate your non-AI-assisted communication skills," Anthropic wrote in the job descriptions. While companies force applicants to avoid AI use, they have been moving rapidly to integrate AI into their operations. Last year, Goldman Sachs' tech chief, Marco Argenti claimed that in about three years, almost 100 per cent of Goldman's global workforce would interact with AI while doing their jobs. In the most recent earnings call, CEO David Solomon told the shareholders that he was expecting big things from AI and that it will "transform our earning capabitilities" and "modernise our technology stack". The company has already rolled out multiple AI-powered tools for about 10,000 workers of its over 46,000-person global workforce. It is planning to expand the use of AI to all employees by the year's end.
