I feel as thought Meta, compared to other tech giants, have a vested interest in saying that AI failed, as they are the only major tech company that has almost unequivocally lost the AI race.

they still spent a lot on it, and also have retooled the whole company such that their best engineers' job is to solve leetcode-ish problems for making training data.

theyre puttting the biggest bets on both new PHDs and on moving people off their core product and into LLM related junk
