Will Meta’s AI Layoffs Backfire?

The hosts opened with a Google I/O preview before moving into Meta’s reported AI-focused reorganization, layoffs, and the broader question of whether AI cuts actually produce ROI. They discussed AI-related stock reactions, employee disruption, and how graduates are reacting to AI’s impact on entry-level career paths. Beth introduced a DeepMind resignation post focused on model evaluations and the challenge of measuring emerging capabilities. The show also covered Google Omni science videos, a HeyGen avatar demo, OpenAI product consolidation under Greg Brockman, NVIDIA’s Hermes Agent support, Anthropic Mythos coding benchmarks, and Elon Musk’s court loss.
