Listen "Meta's Billion Dollar UpScale"
Episode Synopsis
Meta just dropped $14.3 billion to buy half of Scale AI and hired their CEO like it was a fantasy football draft. In this episode, host Emily Laird unpacks why Mark Zuckerberg raided Scale AI’s pantry for top talent, including Alexandr Wang and Nat Friedman, and what it means for Meta’s new Superintelligence Lab. It’s part billion-dollar power play, part Avengers-style recruitment, and a giant signal that in 2025, labeled data and elite researchers are Silicon Valley’s new gold.
