I don't understand how an intelligent person could accept a job offer from Facebook in 2025 and not understand what company they just agreed to work for.

It’s probably a VC fundraising strategy, “Meta gave me 100s of millions so you should give me more”.

With the amount of money Facebook was offering I could see them having a hard time refusing. If someone offered me 100 million dollars to work on AI I know I would have a hard time refusing.

Those people are intelligent, they’re just selfish and have no qualms over making money off the repugnant crap they’re doing.

  • In that case, how come they "left in the first days of the job" because "they saw what they were going to work on and peaced out"?

    • They may have found that the work they were called upon to perform was worse than what they'd been led to expect. Maybe much worse.
