Meta is making an investment in artificial intelligence company Scale and recruiting Chief Executive Alexandr Wang to join a team developing “superintelligence” at the tech giant.

Scale co-founder and CEO Alexandr Wang will lead Meta’s new superintelligence unit.

Alexandr Wang cofounded Scale AI. He's about to become a very expensive hire at Meta.

Meta AI users are hitting the Share button without realizing that it can post their private chats into the public Discover feed.

Mark Zuckerberg has reorganized his company’s ambitions around a hypothetical future that is suddenly the talk of Silicon Valley.

Alexandr Wang dropped out of MIT to co-found Scale and was quickly lauded as one of Silicon Valley's most promising entrepreneurs, raising funding from blue-chip venture capital firms and achieving billionaire status in his 20s.

Scale AI built its business on the labor of gig workers. But those workers likely won't benefit from their new deal with Meta.

Meta's new AI tool, Devmate, is powered by models from rivals including Anthropic's Claude. It reflects how the company uses competitor AI models.

But Meta's desire for Meta AI users to share their chats with others via a social feed isn't surprising. Social media is how Meta makes its money. All of its apps are social apps. Also, bringing a social element to an AI chatbot experience could always work in Meta's favor.
