    As someone working at a company seeing ~1.75x usable, clean output improvements and productivity increases due to AI adoption…part of me wonders if Meta is doing this to try and dissuade competition while secretly continuing apace.

    Another part of me sees a large part of AI as a bubble that 9/10 sucks and maybe Meta is being honest.

        Maybe the first stat is a cooked number.

        Like llms are generating stuff quickly, boosting some metrics, but generating more work because it is all bullshit.
