Meta has made some big announcements that they're calling regular corporate restructuring,

but some people see them as massive pump on the brakes when it comes to their AI hiring

plan, something that Zuckerberg has been spending billions of dollars on in the last month.

So today on the podcast, I want to break down basically what the new restructuring is, what people

inside of meta are saying, and just how much money

they have spent that possibly could leave to a massive headache for shareholders. Let's get into all

of that. Before we do, I wanted to mention if you want to try any of the models that I talk about

on the podcast here, I would love for you to try out my own startup, which is called aaibox.

I recently released a beta that allows you to access the top 40

A.m models all on one platform for $20 a month. So if you want to try that out, you can go check

after a quote unquote restructuring of the unit that happened earlier this week.

This is all reports from the Wall Street Journal.

And basically this hiring freeze is going to follow what has been a month of poaching more than 50 AI researchers and engineers from competitors.

They got these.

A lot of them were from Google.

A lot of them came from OpenAI. Some came from XAI. Basically, they stole them from everywhere and they offered up to a

billion dollars. There's different pay packages where they would offer exploding pay packages,

meaning you know, you had like four hours to accept it. And they would have a billion dollar

as an offer. And basically that vested over four years. So probably shares and probably cash, you know, $250 million a year is insane to pay to a AI researcher. A lot of people said. So a lot of people actually kind of criticize them for the exploding, getting to the exploding offers and stuff, being like, oh, Mark Zuckerers is trying to pressure people into it. In my opinion, though, I mean, if you're paying someone a billion dollars, if they say, no, you got to move on to the next person, they're trying

to hire 50 of these guys. It can't pay probably 50 billion. So they got to just look, you get four
