Zuck's AI Blitzkrieg: Meta's Billions, Scandal, and the Race for Superintelligence
Mark Zuckerberg BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
I am Mark Zuckerberg and these past few days have been nothing short of a spectacle. The tech and business headlines are ablaze with my aggressive pursuit of world-class AI talent—a move that has set Silicon Valley’s rumor mill on fire. As reported by SFGate and Wired, recruiting is now akin to a high-stakes chess match, with Meta not only pouring a reported 14.3 billion dollars into Scale AI but also poaching its CEO Alexandr Wang and luring away research stars from OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic with jaw-dropping pay offers, some rumored to reach $100 million for a single year. I recently told The Information that many of these compensation stories are exaggerated, but there is no doubt I am treating AI superstars like pro athletes and acting on my belief that a lean, brilliant team beats armies of coders. The internet is buzzing about my new Meta Superintelligence Labs, a division I formally announced in mid-July. According to TS2.Tech, our goal is no less than building AI models that surpass human intelligence, and we are leveraging every advantage—Microsoft partnerships, AWS cloud deals, and now even providing some AI tools for the US government.
Our most recent earnings call, as Investopedia and Reuters detailed, showcased Meta’s colossal increase in AI infrastructure spending. I told investors we now run over a million GPU cores, with new AI super clusters coming online next year. These are bold moves, but I see this as Meta’s defining decade and have said plainly that AI will drive our next wave of products and revenue.
Not everything has been victory laps. Just days ago, as reported by NPR and the Chronicle, the billion-dollar class action investor lawsuit tied to the Cambridge Analytica scandal was settled right as I was about to testify in a Delaware court. Plaintiffs want me and other senior leaders to reimburse Meta for more than $8 billion in fines and legal fees after the social media privacy debacle. The company is staying mum on details, but the timing could not have been more dramatic, with top board members and former COO Sheryl Sandberg also named.
My other high-profile public appearance was virtually, addressing LlamaCon 2025 and Meta Connect, where I laid out the future of AI, the metaverse, and mixed reality with Meta Quest and new AI glasses. Meanwhile, the real estate press is swirling with fresh controversy over my ever-expanding 300-million-dollar estate on Kauaʻi, highlighted by a July 21 Wired article and Hawaii Public Radio, which dug into my multi-thousand-acre land grab and the local outcry it continues to cause.
And for those watching social media, my team made waves by announcing on July 8 via TBPN that Ruoming Pang, Apple’s star AI executive, is now part of Meta’s superintelligence effort—a competitive coup. Every whisper about my hiring spree, AI deals, or personal projects is now instant gossip fodder, making it clear that every move Meta and I make is shaping not just tech, but the entire conversation around its future.
