Zuckerberg Spent $10 Million on New AI Chief – Relationship Tense Within Six Months

Mark Zuckerberg, after the unsuccessful venture into the metaverse, has focused on artificial intelligence and hired Alexandr Wang, founder of Scale AI, to lead the new Meta Superintelligence Lab, at a cost of $10 million. However, their relationship is reportedly strained just six months after the hiring, due to Zuckerberg's micromanagement, which involves intervening in technical decisions and team structures. This approach, dubbed the “Eye of Sauron,” is causing tension, as Wang, accustomed to the autonomy of a startup, struggles to adapt to Meta’s strict hierarchy. Furthermore, there are doubts about Wang’s experience in leading such a large AI organization.
