    The hinted at “move,” for those unaware:

    The Wall Street Journal reported on Meta’s recent decision to impose a hiring freeze on its AI division, ssending ripples through the tech world.

    This move comes after Meta reportedly offered multimillion-dollar bonuses to poach talent from rivals like OpenAI, only to face internal backlash and questions about returns on investment. The company’s pivot suggests a reassessment of its aggressive spending, which has included billions in infrastructure and research to compete with the likes of OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Google’s Gemini.
