Meta's Year of Efficiency 2.0: Zuckerberg's "Cyber Great Purge"



Zuckerberg is performing the "Thanos snap" again. Meta's plan to lay off 20% means roughly 15,000 people will be receiving severance packages. What's the most ironic part? Last year they just finished shouting "Year of Efficiency," and this year they're fast-forwarding straight to "AI Sacrifice to Heaven."

The logic in Silicon Valley right now is brutally simple: save the salaries of ten programmers, and you've got just enough to buy half an H100 GPU. Zuckerberg's move translates to: "Since AI can write code now, why do we need carbon-based life forms? Replace them all with silicon-based labor force!"

Reportedly, the AI model called "Avocado" has underperformed, and internally there's been chaos over exorbitant salaries given to the AI team. It's like spending big money to invite an ancestor home, only to find out this ancestor hasn't even learned to lay eggs yet, but has already kicked out all the household servants.

From a macro perspective, this isn't simply cost-cutting anymore—it's tech giants forcibly transfusing blood to support their $600 billion AI bet. The capital markets are cheering, but this cold wind blowing from the Middle East to US stocks has one core logic: in the face of top-tier computing power, ordinary workers aren't even worth a plug-in.

For those holding positions and watching from the sidelines, keep your eyes sharp. These days, even the ancestor of social media doesn't want to socialize with people anymore—$BTC #Meta计划裁员 just wants to spend time with servers.
