There was more tension inside the meta Mark zuckerberg First All-Hands Meeting of the year.
Employee-nourished questions for the CEO touched some big topics: worry about their announcement that “Low-demonstrations” It will be allowed to go on 10 February, his maga-fuel Meta content changes in moderation policies And dei programs, and their comments Which every day Want more “masculine energy” in the workplace. “Impressed by the new US President (in any way) who are seeing changes?” Asked an employee before the internal meeting. “If yes, why are we making changes based on these factors?”
A lot of rank and file clearly on the age, Zuckerberg ensured that there would be fewer opportunities for the play during today's Q&A. Before starting, HR informed the employees that “we would leave the questions that we hope they may be unproductive when leaked.” For the first time, the most neglected staff questions were no longer ranked to see everyone and the comments were disabled during the livestream.
Before jumping into Q&A, Zuckerberg addressed the changes: “We really try to stay open and then I say everything. It is useless. ,
“We are going to try to address all the main subjects and themes, but, where we are now, there is a group of things that I think I think is valid for me to talk about me, “He continued. “So I am not just going to talk about them.” (Meta refused to comment for this story.)
There were still some things that Zuckerberg was comfortable addressing. Fear about a return-to-office policy change? “I have not just focused on it. I think the status quo is fine. Continue. “Arguments behind ending some employee allowances, such as free EV charging in the office when Meta is printing money?” This is one of the reasons why we are financially good because we disciplined on costs Are happening. ”
What about looming “low-demonstration” trimmed? “The right thing is to rip the band-help,” he said. “I think, in many ways, it's a good thing to do for those who are probably not going to make it anyway.”
Clade in a gold chain and white long sleeve shirt, Zuckerberg explained his decision to abolish the meta diversity, equity and inclusion programs: “I think it is the direction of policy and regulator and legal direction on this goods. That you can do that you can do things that benefit specific groups, even if you are trying to make for other things. “
He said that “we are probably going to bring back” faint prejudice training for employees, but it will not be “just focused” on some groups of groups of some types of people. ” Genel GayleThe head of Meta's HR, then jumped saying that “we have zero tolerance for any kind of harassment or discrimination,” that the company “will continue to recruit with a comprehensive talent pool” and “Celebration of Black History Month” Celebrate “.
Why did he overhale the material rules of the meta All allow people for things like calling “mentally ill” Zuckerberg decided in such a way: “There was a group of policies we had implemented over time, which people could say on our services were compressed in this way. Frankly, we were out of the mainstream. When we say that someone can say something on our services, it does not mean that we agree with that. This only means that we want to be a platform where people can discuss things. ,
“We still have this wide open area”
Zuckerberg closed the meeting by repeating his predictions on AI and smart glasses Meta's earnings from call Tomorrow. He went to the company's smart glasses in more detail with Ray-Ban, which he said that more than 1 million units were sold last year. (This is the first time Meta has widely shared an official sales statue on glasses.)
“A lot of big hit products in their third generation reached 5 to 10 million units,” Zuckerberg said. “So I think a question for us is whether we are going to go from 1 million to 2 million this year? Are we going from 1 million to 5 million?”
While he did not mention it during the meeting, Meta is planning to introduce a price pair of smart glasses with the head-up display, Kodain name Hypernoova later this year. They are not designed by ray-ban or its original company Essilorloxottica, but I hope that Ivier will play a role in their commercial rollouts. Meta is also working with essilorloxottica on smart glasses for athletes.
Zuckerberg said in today's meeting, “We originally invented the category and our contestants have not really shown and they will do it.” “I think we will probably start looking at something from the end of this year, perhaps next year. But we have now a wider open area and originally to present more and more people for Meta AI Glasses For and we should take that opportunity.
Some other highlights from Q&A of Zuckerberg:
Working with Trump Administration: “Now we have the opportunity to make a productive partnership with the United States government and we are going to take it. I think it is right to do because there are many areas, even if we do not agree on everything, where we have a common reason for things that are going to make it so that we can do better service to our community and we We can move forward, the interests of our country together … We are going to do those people in such a way that we are not going to compromise on any of our principles or values. ,
Plan for Meta Aye: Chattgpt rival has “about 700 million” monthly users and Zuckerberg believes that it will get 1 billion users this year. “We know by making a lot of goods in the last 20 years that services can come and go in a way, but once something reaches that scale and a data is flywheel, it is usually one. Very sustainable benefits can develop … We have a bunch of work this year to make it more attractive. “
Competition with paid AI products such as chatters: “I am always looking for ways that we can turn the strength of our business model to give people a high quality product … We have a model that is competitive with the best model outside there and We provide it for free. We are not charging $ 20 or $ 200 per month, now I can have an opportunity to do more … Can also provide high quality answers and also free.
AI in social media: “I think we have all kinds of feed units in the next few years that are more interactive … I think this year we have goods where you have an AI agent in a video that is in your feed but Then you can just start talking back on it and take it forward and ask it all these interesting questions. “
Meta efforts to make AI engineer: “Does this mean that we do not need engineers? Actually, the opposite. If an engineer can now do a hundred times more work then I want a lot of engineers, right? I think we are going to be able to train AIS to do better work than a lot of human reviewers … It is probably not that it will flip by next year. ,
Deepsek: “Whenever I see someone else does something, I like, 'Ah come, we should have been there, right? [have] Make sure we are on this. ,
Tiktok ban: “I am sure that whatever happens, I am confident that Facebook and Instagram reels are going to grow … Who is going to the ticket at the end of the year? What is going to happen? It's a big thing? .
Their farewell message to employees: “It is going to be a deep year, so buckle. We have got a lot to do. I am excited about it. ,
