MZ is hoping AI can boost employee morale

[not2easy]

Like many other Silicon Valley cohorts, FaceBook/META is finding that the boom in home shopping has declined along with the Covid pandemic. People are less dependent on finding things remotely and more into visiting local merchants in person. Their workforce is still primarily working remotely and Mark Zuckerberg is pushing to get them working together at least 3 days a week: [washingtonpost.com...]

Employee morale is at a low point and they're feeling a loss of direction.

Some internal systems and priorities that were once clear have become more confusing because nearly a quarter of the company’s workforce is gone, employees said.

But he also now must turn the social media giant into a more streamlined and less bureaucratic tech company, while attempting to restore and even boost his employees’ faith in the company’s future and culture. Zuckerberg has said he wants the workplace to become “scrappier” as it unwinds a management culture that was used to easy money and hyper workforce growth.

To that end, META is giving employees access to new AI tools based on LLaMA a LLM similar to ChatGPT.

Giving any tech sector employee access to AI at work is a lot like saying "Behave or this will be doing your job".
