They hired a teenager to run one of their departments and thought that meant the teenager was smart instead of realizing that Meta’s department heads aren’t

Except they didn’t. The person in question was 28 when they hired him.

He was a teenager when he cofounded the company that was acquired for thirty billion dollars. But the taste of those really sour grapes must be hard to deal with.

    Comic hyperbole darling. I know that's hard to understand, especially when you're one of the start up elect, who still believes.

    But, FAIR is dead, meta have a huge brain drain, and Alex only has hardware and money to fix it. Worse for him, is he's surrounded by poisonous empire builders, and/or much more effective courtesans who can play zuck much more effectively than him.

    Wang needs Zuck, and Zuck needs results. The problem is, people keep on giving zuck ideas, like robotics, and world models and AI sex bots.

    Wang has to somehow keep up productivity, and integrate into meta's wider culture. Oh, and if he wants any decent amount of that 30billion, he's gotta stick out for 4 years.

    I did my time and got my four years of RSUs from the buyout. my boss didn't neither did the CTO or about 2/3rds of the team. Meta will eat you, and I don't envy him.

      Even if you say so yourself.

      There's a lot of projection going on in that sentence.

    I could not imagine being as salty as the original poster seems to be about Alex Wang. To hold that amount of hate for a superior that is more successful than you can’t be good for the soul
