Michael Dell says the cost of Meta’s AI hiring blitz won’t just be the eye-watering pay packages being doled out. It will show up in the queue of disgruntled employees lining up outside Mark Zuckerberg’s office, demanding a fair shake.”It’ll be a challenge culturally for sure,” Dell said in an interview on the BG2 podcast with hosts Bill Gurley and Brad Gerstner that aired Thursday.Dell said the unhappiness and resentment Zuckerberg may face from existing employees over their new colleagues’ generous salaries could end up as a distraction for Meta.”People generally have a sense of fairness, right?

During xAI’s launch of Grok 4 on Wednesday night, Elon Musk said — while livestreaming the event on his social media platform, X — that his AI company’s ultimate goal was to develop a “maximally truth-seeking AI.” But where exactly does Grok 4 seek out the truth when trying to answer controversial questions? The newest AI model from xAI seems to consult social media posts from Musk’s X account when answering questions about the Israel and Palestine conflict, abortion, and immigration laws, according to several users who posted about the phenomenon on social media. Grok also seemed to reference Musk’s…
