He also defended the decision to scrap Meta's third-party fact-checking program in favor of a community notes model[1].

Zuckerberg expressed optimism about the company's AI digital assistant, predicting it will reach 1 billion users by year-end. He also mentioned that AI agents will take over some work at the company, potentially leading to more job cuts, but also creating new engineering roles[1].

In other news, Meta's AI-powered smart glasses have been gaining popularity, with over 1 million Ray-Ban glasses sold in 2024. The glasses offer object recognition and have been praised by users, including those who are blind, for their accessibility benefits[4].

On the financial front, Zuckerberg recently sold $14.4 million in Meta stock through CZI Holdings LLC, part of a pre-established trading plan. This sale comes on the heels of a series of stock offloads, with Zuckerberg maintaining significant indirect holdings in the company[5].

In a recent public appearance, Zuckerberg discussed the company's plans to work with the U.S. government, stating that they have an opportunity to have a productive partnership and advance common interests. He also emphasized that the company would not compromise its principles or values[1].

Lastly, Meta's chief information security officer, Guy Rosen, fired off an internal memo threatening "appropriate action, including termination," against employees who leak information. Ironically, the memo was leaked to The Verge[1].
