Meta employees already bracing for another round of layoffs are now facing a different fear after a leaked audio clip allegedly captured Mark Zuckerberg describing how the company's AI models learn by 'watching really smart people do things.'
The recording, which spread widely online this week, has fuelled claims that workers may be unknowingly training the systems that could eventually replace them. The controversy arises as Meta begins cutting roughly 10 per cent of its workforce while pouring billions into AI infrastructure, prompting backlash over surveillance, consent and the future of tech jobs.
