The voltages were high in the finish line Mark Zuckerberg’s First meeting of the All Hands year.
Questions satisfied by employees for the General Director touched several gigantic topics: concerns about his announcement that “low results” will be released on February 10, its changes in the principles of the Meta content module to Joe Rogan about the desire for greater “male energy” in the workplace. “Is changes (in any way) under the influence of the new US president?” He asked one employee before the internal meeting. “If so, why do we make changes based on these factors?”
With a lot of rank and files on Edge, Zuckerberg made sure that during today’s questions and answers there will be less drama. Before this began, HR informed employees that “we will overdo the questions that, as we expect, may be unproductive if they are leaking.” For the first time, the most frequently evaluated employee questions were no longer arranged for everyone, and the comments were turned off during live broadcast.
Before jumping into the questions and answers, Zuckerberg turned to the changes: “We try to be really open, and then everything I say is leaking. This is sucking. “
“We will try to solve all the main topics and topics, but because we are now, there are only many things that in my opinion are destructive to me,” he contradicted. “So I’m just not going to talk about it.” (Meta refused to comment on this story.)
There were still some things that Zuckerberg was comfortable. Fears of changing the policy of returning to the office? “I just don’t focus on it at all. I think the status quo is fine. Continue. “The justification for the end of some employees’ advantages, such as free EV fees in the office, when the meta prints money?” One of the reasons why we are doing well financially is that we are disciplined about costs. ”
What about the upcoming “low performance” dismissals? “It is simply right to break the team’s help,” he said. “I think that in many respects this is a nicer thing for people who probably do not intend to do it.”
Zuckerberg, dressed in a golden chain and a white long -sleeved shirt, explained his decision to end the programs of diversity, justice and the metal: “I think that the direction of politics and regulatory and legal direction in many of these things is that you can” create things, which outweigh groups, even if you try to make up for other things. “
He noticed that “we will probably restore” unconscious training for employees, but this would not focus only on “several groups of insufficiently represented people.” Janelle GaleThe head of HR Meta, then jumped to say: “We have zero tolerance for harassment or discrimination” that the company “will continue to recruit from a wide pool of talent” and “celebrating” black history.
As for why he was looking at the principles of meta content to allow to call trance people “mentally ill,” Zuckerberg thus developed the decision: “There were many rules that in time we implemented what people could say on our service. To be straightforward, we were simply from the mainstream. When we say that someone can say something about our services, it does not necessarily mean that we agree with it. It simply means that we want to be a platform where people can discuss different things. “
“We now have this wide field”
Zuckerberg began the meeting, mainly repeating his forecasts about artificial intelligence and intelligent glasses from the earnings of the finish of the previous day. He made more detailed information on the intelligent glasses of the company from Ray-Ban, which according to him sold over 1 million units. (It was for the first time the meta divided the official sales statistics in glasses).
“Many gigantic hits in the third generation have reached 5 to 10 million pieces,” said Zuckerberg. “So I think that one of the questions is for us, will we go from 1 million to 2 million this year? Are we going to go from 1 million to 5 million? ”
Although he did not mention it during the meeting, Meta plans to introduce an expensive pair of intelligent glasses with a display on the head, the defeat Hypernov, this year. They are not designed by Ray-Ban or its home company Essilorluxottica, but I expect the giant of glasses to play a role in commercial implementation. Meta also cooperates with Essilorluxottica nad Oakley Smart glasses for athletes.
“We basically invented the category, and our competitors did not really appear and will be,” said Zuckerberg at today’s meeting. “I think we’ll probably start seeing a bit of it, maybe a bit this year, maybe next year. But now we have such a wide field for running and basically introducing as many AI glasses as possible and we should take this opportunity. ”
A few other events from Zuckerberg’s questions and answers:
Working with the Trump administration: “We now have the opportunity for a productive partnership with the United States and we intend to take it. I think it is appropriate because there are several areas, even if we do not agree to everything where we have a common cause of things that will do it so that we can serve our community better and we can develop the interests of our country together … We will do them in a way, in a way which we will not compromise any of our rules or values. “
Meta AI plan: CHATGPT rival has “about 700 million” users per month, and Zuckerberg believes that this year it will reach 1 billion users. “We know from building many things in the last 20 years, services can come and leave, but when something reaches this scale and has a flywheel, it can generally get a fairly lasting advantage … We have a lot of work to do it more engaging this year. We will focus a lot on personalization as one of the key topics around it. “
Competition with paid AI products, such as chatgpt: “I am always looking for ways in which we can transform the strength of our business model into providing people with a higher quality product … We have a competitive model with the best models and we offer it for free. We do not download $ 20 or USD 200 per month or anything else. Now I think that it may be possible to do even more … We can provide even higher quality of answers than other people in the industry could provide and do it for free. “
You have on social media: “I think that in the next few years we will have all kinds of feed units, which are much more interactive … I think that this year we will have things in which you have an AI agent in the movie in your channel, but then you can just start Talk to it, direct him and ask all these fascinating questions. “
Finish efforts to build an AI engineer: “Does this mean that we won’t need engineers? Actually the opposite. If the engineer can do a hundred times more work now, I want many more engineers, right? I think that we will be able to train AI to do better work than many human reviewers … It is probably not that such a flap will take place until next year. “
Deepseek: “Whenever I see someone doing something, I say:” Ah, come on! We should be there, right? We [have] I have to make sure we’re on it. “
Tiktok Ban: “I am almost sure that whatever happens, I am very sure that the reels on Facebook and Instagram will continue to grow … Who will be the owner of the Tiktok at the end of the year? What will happen? It’s a big deal. “
His farewell message for employees: “It will be an intense year, so pack. We have a lot to do. I am excited about that. ”
