Director Meta responsible for building the company’s metaverse products told employees they should apply artificial intelligence to “work 5 times faster,” according to an internal message obtained by 404 Media.
“Metaverse AI4P: think 5 times, not 5%” – says the message published by Vishal Shah, vice president of Metaverse at Metaverse (AI4P is artificial intelligence that increases productivity). The idea is that developers should apply AI to work five times more efficiently than they currently do – not just apply it to do work 5 times more efficiently. percent more effectively.
“Our goal is simple but bold: to make Al a habit, not a novelty. That means prioritizing training and adoption for everyone, so that using Al becomes second nature – just like any other tool we rely on,” the message reads. “It also means integrating Al into every major code base and workflow.” Shah added that this doesn’t just apply to engineers. “I want to meet PMs, designers and [cross functional] partners roll up their sleeves and build prototypes, fix bugs and push the boundaries of what’s possible,” he wrote. “I want us to work 5x faster, eliminating the friction that slows us down. And 5x faster to get to experience with our products much faster. Imagine a world where anyone can quickly prototype an idea, and feedback is measured in hours, not weeks. That’s the future we are building.”
The Metaverse products, which CEO Mark Zuckerberg changed the company’s name to highlight, are: a colossal time waster and a treasure trove of moneyWith the company spends tens of billions of dollars developing a product that relatively few people apply.
Zuckerberg has spoken extensively about how he did it expects AI agents to write most of the Meta code in the next 12-18 months. Recently, the company also decided that job candidates will be able to apply artificial intelligence part of the coding tests during job interviews. But Shah’s message underscores a fear that workers have been harboring for a long time: that bosses not only expect to replace workers with AI, but expect those left who apply AI to become much more productive. The hidden assumption is that the work that skilled people do without AI is simply not good enough.
Currently, most tech giants are implementing artificial intelligence among their employees. Amazon CEO Andy Jassy told employees in July that he expected artificial intelligence to completely change the way the company operates.and lead to job loss. “We expect this to reduce our overall workforce in our company over the next few years as we gain productivity gains from the widespread use of AI across the company,” he said.
