Meta chief technology officer Andrew Bosworth has told employees that productivity gains from artificial intelligence should be used to build more products rather than create additional time off. The comments came during a recent employee Q&A after a worker asked whether Meta could bring back Meta Days, a former programme that provided staff with additional paid days away from work.

Bosworth responded bluntly. According to Business Insider, he told employees to stop asking about Meta Days and described the question as very dumb. He said he hoped employees would use the extra time created by AI to do more and build cooler products for people using Meta's platforms.
