US Top News and Analysis | Amazon custom chips get a boost from Meta, giving the cloud giant another path to win in AI
AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.
Amazon’s shares jumped nearly 3 percent after Meta announced a multi‑year deal to run its AI workloads on Amazon Web Services’ Graviton CPUs, making Meta a top‑five Graviton customer and underscoring AWS’s growing role in AI infrastructure. The partnership highlights Amazon’s broader chip strategy—offering cost‑efficient Graviton processors for “always‑on” reasoning tasks and Trainium accelerators for AI model training—as a complement to Nvidia’s GPUs and a way for cloud customers like Meta to lower compute expenses. Jim Cramer praised the move, noting that Amazon’s chip revenue now exceeds $20 billion and is growing at triple‑digit rates, and he maintains a bullish outlook on both Amazon and Meta ahead of their upcoming earnings reports.

US Top News and Analysis | 20,000 job cuts at Meta, Microsoft raise concern that AI-driven labor crisis is here
AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.
Tech‑sector layoffs are accelerating as firms pouring billions into AI infrastructure trim headcount to offset spending, marking what experts call a “fundamental structural shift.” Meta announced a 10 % cut—about 8,000 jobs—and scrapped plans for 6,000 hires, while Microsoft launched its first‑ever voluntary buyouts, potentially affecting up to 8,750 workers. Other giants such as Nike, Snap, Salesforce, Oracle, Amazon and Google have also shed thousands of positions, pushing total tech layoffs in 2026 past 92,000 and nearly 900,000 since 2020. Economists warn the rapid deployment of AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude and other large‑model applications is widening the gap between job loss and creation, especially for entry‑level and generalized IT roles, even as demand rises for specialized AI engineers. In the startup arena, the AI boom is producing “50‑person unicorns” that scale revenue with far fewer employees, further intensifying hiring pressure on larger firms. The combined effect has driven a sharp drop in employee confidence, heightened job anxiety, and prompted companies to adopt more aggressive cost‑cutting measures beyond natural attrition.

The second Larry Ellison took control of tiktok, people should have been preparing to jump ship. The new dark patterns for ai opt-in's associated with ai harvesting the voice and likeness of creators was bound to happen. It comes as no surprise to me personally. If you've been listening to anything the palantir ceo has been saying, they want to corrode most social communication regardless of which echo chamber your on, censor more content, and push attention towards the more nationalist right wing "unifying" creators.
People should be over any platform that taps into emotional response at this point. Meta apps have taught a masterclass in this over the last 10 years.
Decentralized platforms is the future.

Al Jazeera – Breaking News, World News and Video from Al Jazeera | Meta lines up layoffs while Microsoft offers buyouts
AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.
Meta announced it will cut roughly 8,000 jobs — about 10 % of its workforce — to free up resources for a massive boost in artificial‑intelligence infrastructure and high‑pay AI‑expert hires, while Microsoft disclosed it will extend voluntary buyout offers to about 8,750 U.S. employees, or 7 % of its domestic staff, as a parallel effort to trim costs amid the industry’s AI spending surge. Meta’s 2026 expenses are projected to rise sharply to $162‑$169 billion, driven by new data‑centre construction (including a $1 billion AI‑optimised facility in Tulsa) and elevated compensation for AI talent, and analysts view the layoffs as a move to streamline operations and improve efficiency. The news sent Meta’s shares down 2.3 % and Microsoft’s off nearly 4 % on the day of the announcements.

BBC News | Meta says it will cut 8,000 jobs as AI spending grows
AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.
Meta plans to cut roughly 8,000 jobs—about 10 percent of its workforce—in the coming month as it ramps up spending on artificial‑intelligence projects, earmarking $135 billion for AI this year, an amount equal to what it spent on the technology over the prior three years. The layoffs follow earlier rounds that have already eliminated around 2,000 employees and come as the company begins tracking staff computer activity to train its AI models, a move some workers describe as “dystopian.” CEO Mark Zuckerberg said AI has dramatically increased worker productivity, allowing individuals to complete projects that once required large teams, and he predicts 2026 will be a turning point for AI‑driven work changes. This will be Meta’s largest workforce reduction since the 2023 cuts.

AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.
Meta announced it is cutting about 8,000 jobs—roughly 10 % of its workforce—to improve efficiency and free up capital for new investments, particularly in artificial‑intelligence infrastructure and high‑pay AI‑expert hires, as its 2026 expenses are projected to rise to $162‑$169 billion. The layoffs come as the company also leaves roughly 6,000 positions unfilled. At the same time, Microsoft disclosed plans to offer voluntary buyouts to around 8,750 U.S. employees (about 7 % of its U.S. staff) in early May, a move aimed at curbing costs amid massive spending on data centers, cloud services, and AI tools like Copilot. Analysts see Meta’s cuts as part of a broader shift toward using AI to automate tasks and streamline operations while maintaining productivity.

NBC News Top Stories | Meta says it will lay off 10% of its workforce by Rob Wile, Emily Lorsch
AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.
Meta announced it will cut about 8,000 jobs—roughly 10% of its roughly 78,000‑strong workforce—and eliminate another 6,000 open positions as it seeks to offset the cost of doubling its AI investment to $135 billion in 2026 (up from $72 billion last year). In an internal memo, chief people officer Janelle Gale said the reductions are needed to run the company more efficiently and to balance other investments, acknowledging the difficult trade‑off of letting go of employees who have contributed meaningfully. While the cuts are not directly tied to AI replacing roles, they reflect broader industry pressure, as tech giants like Microsoft and Amazon also scale back hiring or offer buyouts after massive AI‑related spending, prompting investors to scrutinize whether such AI bets will ultimately pay off.

AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.
Investor Bill Baruch, founder and president of Blue Line Capital, announced that he has bought shares of Arm Holdings, citing the company’s recent pivot to designing and manufacturing its own AI chips and a new deal with Meta as key catalysts. Baruch highlighted that Arm, traditionally a licensor of chip architecture, now counts Meta—its first official customer—alongside OpenAI, SAP and Cloudflare, and expects its newly released chip to generate about $15 billion in annual revenue by 2031. He also emphasized the importance of CPUs in his portfolio, noting Arm’s strong performance, up nearly 89 % year‑to‑date. In addition, Baruch increased his position in Entegris, a supplier of advanced materials for semiconductors, calling it under‑priced and essential to the supply chain, after its shares have surged about 73 % this year.

AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.
Meta announced a plan to lay off roughly 10% of its workforce—about 8,000 employees—with the cuts beginning on May 20 and the company also canceling hiring for an additional 6,000 open positions. The reductions follow earlier rounds of job cuts in the Reality Labs unit and other parts of the business, and are part of a broader effort to improve efficiency while accelerating investments in generative artificial intelligence, where Meta has lagged competitors such as OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic. The company recently unveiled its first major AI model and introduced a new employee‑tracking tool (the Model Capability Initiative) to gather data for training AI agents. Meta’s global headcount fell to 78,865 at the end of last year, down from a peak of 86,482 in 2022, and its shares slipped 2.4% after the announcement as the firm prepares to report first‑quarter earnings alongside other tech giants.

New gas projects linked to a mere eleven data center campuses around the US have the potential to create more greenhouse gases than the country of Morocco emitted in 2024.
Emissions estimates from air permit documents examined by WIRED show that these natural gas projects —which are being built to power data centers to serve some of the US’s most powerful LLM companies, including OpenAI, Meta {Facebook}, Microslop, and xAI —have the potential to
emit more than 129 million tons of greenhouse gases per year!

Four features that keep people glued to screens:
Feature 1: Solitude - When the relationship is just between you and the machine, it removes social cues needed for stopping.
Feature 2: Bottomlessness - There's no natural stopping point, so you never feel finished or satisfied.
Feature 3: Speed - The speed of the feedback can cause this sense that you merge with the screen. You don't know where you begin and the machine ends.
Feature 4: Teasing - They rarely — if ever — give you what you're looking for. They give just enough to keep you engaged, keep you looking at the app and interacting with it as long as possible.
When an app combines these four features — solitude, bottomlessness, speed, and teasing — it creates a kind of recipe for overuse for nearly everyone.

Times of India | Scales School of Technology emerges as a strong choice for CS and AI education in India
AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.
Scaler School of Technology (SST) in Bengaluru addresses the gap between India’s 1.6 million annual engineering graduates and industry needs by offering a hands‑on, AI‑first curriculum that replaces traditional lectures with early product development, startup execution, and applied AI projects. Students collaborate directly with founders and engineers from companies such as Meta, Google, and Uber, working in AI labs, robotics, and product studios on real‑world systems like large‑language‑model workflows, drone platforms, and Apple Vision Pro interfaces. The four‑year program progresses from building e‑commerce and AI‑enhanced web apps to complex routing engines, machine‑learning analytics, operating systems, and ultimately to launching a funded startup in the final year, supported by seed capital and an on‑campus innovation lab. SST reports that 96 % of its inaugural cohort secured internships with monthly stipends up to ₹2 lakh, and graduates have joined firms including Apple, Adobe, Swiggy, Zomato, and Tata 1mg, while many have started their own ventures. With a selective 3.3 % acceptance rate and a growing preference among students over traditional engineering colleges, SST exemplifies a new model of engineering education tailored to an AI‑driven software economy.

AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.
Snap CEO Evan Spiegel warned that Meta’s partnership with Essilor‑Luxottica to produce Ray‑Ban‑branded smart glasses is more damaging to the eyewear maker than to Meta itself, arguing that Meta needed the alliance because its own brand “is not something that people want to put anywhere near their face.” Spiegel said the deal could erode Luxottica’s high‑margin iconic product and hurt its brand positioning, while Meta relies on the Ray‑Ban name to mask its own poor perception in the wearable‑tech space. He also noted Meta’s ongoing privacy concerns and its reliance on established brands to build trust, as the smart‑glasses market becomes increasingly competitive with rivals such as Google, Samsung and Apple. Meanwhile, Snap continues to struggle with the adoption of its Spectacles AR eyewear, targeting developers and creatives despite limited consumer uptake.

Käytän aika paljon Threadsia. En siksi, että pitäisin Metasta, vaan koska tykkään olla kärryillä laajemmista ilmiöistä. Threadsissa on myös paljon AI-puolen sovelluskehittäjiä, tech-ihmisiä ja designereitä, joita ei Fedissä ole.
Postaan Threadsiin samat kuin muuallekin poislukien AI/vibekoodausjutut, jotka aiheuttaisivat täällä joukkolynkkaamista sekä keskustelut tietenkin ihmisten kanssa, jotka postaavat vain siellä. Threadsista on tavallaan tullut kuin Twitter, kun kaikki ovat siirtyneet sinne, mutta siellä on parempi moderointi ja suurin osa Fedin suojausmekanismeista (sanamutetus, rajoittaminen, mutetus, jne).
Threadsista piti tulla osa Fediversumia ja olin kiinnostunut tekniikan kehittymisestä. Jenkeissähän se onnistuikin yksisuuntaisesti, esim @barackobama voi seurara täältä, mutta kehitys tyrehtyi. Elättelin salaa naiivia toivoa siitä, että EU:n myötä Meta kytkisi Fedi-yhteensopivuuden kaikkialle käyttöön ja jollain tapaa alkaisi toimia sen myötä eettisemmin. Mutta niin ei koskaan tapahtunut.
Threadsin moderoinnista voi olla montaa mieltä, mutta enimmäkseen öyhöt pysyy pois kommenteista. X:ssä sai jokaiseen tusinan paskakommentteja. Threadsissa moista ei tapahdu.
Viime aikoina Threadsin algoritmiseinällä mennään kohusta toiseen. "62 miljoonaa miestä" on erityisesti trendannut (CNN:n paljastusreportaasi), jonka narratiivissa olet raiskari ja osa ongelmaa, jos puutut misinformaatioon. Threadissa kärjistetään ja pöyristytään jatkuvasti. Aina jotakuta ollaan seivästämässä. Jättäydyn yleensä pois kokonaan näistä keskusteluista.
Näistä huolimatta olen Threadsissa ja viihdyn siellä enimmäkseen. Kai tämä on jonkinlaista maailman paskuuden hyväksymistä myös osaltaan. Porukka noituu, että Microsoft, Google, Meta ja moni muu on maailman pahinta kastia. Mutta näistä on käytännössä mahdotonta irroittautua, esimerkiksi yrittäminen ja sitä kautta toimeentuloni lakkaisi kokonaan jos lopettaisin LinkedInin (Microsoft), GitHubin (Microsoft), Google Workspacen (olen jälleenmyyjä), Metan Businessin käyttämisen.
Olen osa ongelmaa.
Ihminen on osa ongelmaa.
Tulipas tästä manifesti, vaikka alunperin piti vain jakaa Threads-uutisia 😅
