The latest chatbot released from Mark Zuckerberg's Meta, parent company of Facebook, has some unflattering things to say about the tech mogul. Meta debuted its most advanced artificial intelligence (AI)-powered chatbot, BlenderBot 3, on Friday. The technology learns from interactions with people, who can provide feedback if they receive unhelpful or unrealistic answers. Zuckerberg's professed aim to build AI that thinks "the way we do" has met a mix of excitement and dystopian fears from the public.

Regulators are close to stopping Meta from sending EU data to the US, bringing a years-long privacy battle to a head.

A study has revealed that Facebook has continued problems booting white supremacists off its platform

The Meta Pixel can send data to Facebook.

Facebook owner Meta is quietly curtailing some of the safeguards designed to thwart voting misinformation or foreign interference in U.S. elections as the November midterm vote approaches. It’s a sharp departure from the social media giant’s multibillion-dollar efforts to enhance the accuracy of posts about U.S. elections and regain trust from lawmakers and the public after their outrage over learning the company had exploited people’s data and allowed falsehoods to overrun its site during the 2016 campaign.

Large companies face lawsuits all the time. It would be strange for a company as large as Facebook (now Meta), to go for a two year stretch without facing any kind of lawsuit.

It might surprise some that our departure from Facebook was one of the simplest decisions we’ve ever made. Many posts that discuss leaving a FAANG company focus on leaving some grand sum of money or prestige of working at the company.

Its only possible savior is a deal that does not look likely.

In an unprecedented move, Meta has announced that it’s hiking the price of its normally affordable Quest 2 headset by $100 starting on August 1. Although Meta claims that the price bump is meant to allow the company to invest more in VR in hopes of “moving the VR industry further,” I’m left skeptical about the plausibility of that outcome. The move will not only hurt VR fans’ wallets but potentially hurt Meta’s goals as it attempts to turn the Metaverse into a mainstream experience.

The U.S. Federal Trade Commission sought a court order on Wednesday to block Facebook parent Meta Platforms from buying virtual reality (VR) content maker Within Unlimited.

The three-year "experiment" is over as Facebook and IG shift focus, again.

The US continues to struggle with pandemic management. Where cases are rising right now, some cities and counties are considering reinstating mask mandates, and many hospitals are confronting a chronic nursing shortage.

Facebook's head of human resources sent out a memo laying out increasing expectations for employees, driving home the message that low performers could be transitioned out. As Insider first reported on Tuesday morning, Meta plans to operate with "increased intensity." Its HR chief, Lori Goler, sent out a memo earlier this month laying out expectations for managers to build high-performing teams, ruthlessly prioritize, and make the most of synchronous and asynchronous time with teams, according to an employee who viewed it.

Hey, maybe you should take it easy. Yes, you. While major industry figures like Elon Musk believe working 80 hours a week is the only way to "change the world," research suggests working less can actually make you more productive — and happier.

The two will provide six and five hours of testimony respectively, more than half a decade after the scandal first became public.

VR company MetaX — which goes by Meta in its branding — says confusion caused by Facebook's metaverse rebrand has already damaged its business.

A tale of two Metas

It’s almost like the internet should have been regulated as a commodity years ago.

If the reviews of the last completely necessary and not at all superfluous thing you bought on Amazon looked like so much copypasta, there’s a good reason: Fake reviews abound and people are getting paid to post them.
