Mark Zuckerberg revealed Meta's plans to automate midlevel software engineering roles and potentially outsource all coding to AI by 2025.
Speaking on The Joe Rogan Experience, Zuckerberg stated that AI would soon handle coding for Meta's apps, potentially replacing midlevel engineers who currently earn mid-six figures.
These changes come alongside Meta’s shift to replace fact-checkers with community notes, akin to Elon Musk’s X, and scaling back DEI initiatives. Janelle Gale, Meta’s VP of HR, announced the dissolution of the DEI team in an internal memo. These moves have sparked criticism, especially from fact-checking groups concerned about their implications.
