Comic hyperbole darling. I know that's hard to understand, especially when you're one of the start up elect, who still believes.

But, FAIR is dead, meta have a huge brain drain, and Alex only has hardware and money to fix it. Worse for him, is he's surrounded by poisonous empire builders, and/or much more effective courtesans who can play zuck much more effectively than him.

Wang needs Zuck, and Zuck needs results. The problem is, people keep on giving zuck ideas, like robotics, and world models and AI sex bots.

Wang has to somehow keep up productivity, and integrate into meta's wider culture. Oh, and if he wants any decent amount of that 30billion, he's gotta stick out for 4 years.

I did my time and got my four years of RSUs from the buyout. my boss didn't neither did the CTO or about 2/3rds of the team. Meta will eat you, and I don't envy him.
