Game of Kings. Hi everyone. Thanks to Meta Platforms CEO Mark Zuckerberg, the price to compete in the AI arms race has just gone up this week. Way up.

(Reuters) -Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has pledged hundreds of billions of dollars towards building massive data centers, days after ratcheting up the AI race with the launch of a division made up of engineers poached from rivals he hopes to challenge.

Scale is cutting 200 full-time staffers, or 14% of the workforce, and around 500 contractors, spokesperson Natalia Montalvo told SFGATE on Wednesday, confirming a report from Bloomberg. Employees learned that they were going to be laid off before a morning memo from Scale’s CEO, Jason Droege, delivered the news to the wider staff.
