In this episode, we dive into Meta’s unprecedented \$14.8 billion investment in Scale AI and its bold move to recruit CEO Alexandr Wang to lead a new superintelligence research lab. We break down how this deal reshapes Meta’s AI ambitions, why Wang’s leadership marks a shift from research to infrastructure dominance, and the industry-wide reactions from Google, OpenAI, Microsoft, and xAI. With Scale AI’s data-labeling power and Meta’s compute strength, we explore what this could mean for the future of AGI and the competitive landscape in generative AI.
