Meta Platforms’ plan to reorganize its workforce around artificial intelligence has encountered employee resistance, communication problems and an increase in difficult-to-predict reliability incidents. Reuters technology correspondent Katie Paul said during a Reddit AMA that CTO Andrew Bosworth acknowledged Meta had explained the strategy poorly, while CEO Mark Zuckerberg told employees he had misjudged the timing. The company has also abandoned its internal push to use AI everywhere, known as tokenmaxxing, in favor of deploying it when appropriate. Meta has already eliminated roughly 8,000 jobs, or about 10% of its workforce, as it redirects spending toward AI infrastructure. Major site reliability emergencies rose 40% year over year, and employees spent 70% more time resolving incidents linked to AI systems. Meta raised its full-year capital expenditure forecast to $130 billion-$145 billion in its second-quarter earnings report, from a previous range of $125 billion-$145 billion. Zuckerberg has continued to defend Meta’s AI strategy while acknowledging that progress in agent development had lagged expectations. Shares closed 3.01% higher at $610.68 and rose 0.46% in early premarket trading the following day.
