What it was like working on LLMs and security at Meta (2022-2026)

Hôm qua đọc bài này chân thực quá nên phải share lại =)) đọc để thấu cảm là ở Meta big tech thì nó cũng có những vấn đề riêng của nó

How this happens at the pattern level is as follows: first, Zuck has a new idea about how to solve the problem that Meta is basically a 2010s-era social media company few really deeply believe in. He then broadcasts to the company (and the world) that this is the next big thing. People have a range of degrees of belief in the new thing, but there is a uniform desire to grow one’s career at the company, and hopping on board the new thing thus seems like a smart move.

Then people flood into the new orgs Zuck creates for the new thing, all at very different positions on the spectrum of actually believing it’s a good idea. Regardless, everyone struggles to position themselves with the most glamorous scope within this new thing so they can get promoted to the next level, in a career-optimizing algorithm that serves their own goals but not a larger goal. The result is a massive muddle of a product or product family.
