Huawei announced a new “Tau (τ) Scaling Law” that it says will let the company design chips with transistor‑density equivalent to a 1.4‑nanometer process by 2031, a technique it dubs “LogicFolding” that it hopes will bypass Moore’s‑Law limits and mitigate the impact of U.S. export restrictions, while Pope Leo XIV issued his first encyclical, “Magnifica Humanitas,” calling for robust regulation of artificial intelligence, urging that AI be harnessed for the common good and warning against its concentration of power, misinformation, and potential to erode human dignity.

Mother Jones | Exclusive: Departing Meta Staffer Posts Biting Anti-AI Video Internally Amid Mass Layoffs by Mother Jones AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Meta recently cut 8,000 jobs—about 10 % of its workforce—and reassigned another 7,000 employees to train its AI models, prompting a sense of unease among staff who see the company’s focus shift from a coder‑driven culture to an AI‑first strategy. In response, engineer David Frenk posted a high‑production parody of Don McLean’s “American Pie” on Meta’s internal message board, turning his customary farewell “badge post” into a satire that lampooned the Model Capability Initiative (MCI) that monitors workers’ screen activity to teach AI, criticized soaring executive pay amid layoffs, and captured the feeling that employees’ professional pride and humanity are being sidelined. The video quickly went viral within Meta, sparking emotional reactions and discussions on external forums like Blind, where former and current employees described it as a poignant, if humorous, reflection of the company’s cultural shift and declining morale.

Business Latest | Meta’s New Reality: Record High Profits. Record Low Morale by Paresh Dave, Lauren Goode, Steven Levy, Zoë Schiffer AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Meta is preparing to cut about 10 % of its workforce—roughly 8,000 jobs—adding to the 25,000 layoffs announced over the past four years, and employees describe the atmosphere as “historically low” morale, with unhappiness widespread except among senior executives. The dip in morale stems from a combination of factors: shrinking compensation (share‑based raises cut for two consecutive years), widening pay gaps, costly AI initiatives, mandatory installation of tracking software that records U.S. staff’s keyboard and mouse activity to train internal AI models, and recent legal setbacks that highlighted the company’s product harms. Workers are protesting the AI surveillance, some are trying to form a UK union with United Tech & Allied Workers, and many hope to be laid off to collect severance and health benefits. While Meta’s ad business continues to generate strong profits—nearly $27 billion in Q1—the company is simultaneously spending billions on AI talent and infrastructure, creating tension between high‑level financial performance and the everyday experience of employees who feel pressured, undervalued, and uncertain about their future.
