LeCun, who previously served as Meta's chief AI scientist, didn't mince words. "xAI is kind of a failure, frankly, because the founding team has" departed, he said,...

Oh silly me! I thought your question mark meant you were looking for an answer, but you had already decided on an answer and only asked to find someone to vent to! I’m glad I could help you for free! Now fuck this!
It’s not like meta is doing a literal holocaust. Given a good salary i’d work for them. For this guy his time at meta prolly enabled him to be more public with a rather anti corpo position. I can understand that move.
Their leadership actually made substantial contribution to enabling the Rohingya genocide.
Sure they weren’t the ones burning families alive in their houses.
But IMO knowingly focusing on avoiding and limiting responsibility instead of immediately working on resolving the role of FB in the Rohingya genocide, has a level of equivalency.
This is just one example. There are many others spanning a range of areas in including fraud enablement, user harm
Btw, I am not saying I would judge everyone who works at FB. Although I feel there would be few exceptions for anyone in a somewhat senior position or above (be it an a technical or business type position).

Apologies. I thought it was clear from context. Here are some examples of his bad judgement:
Getting a job is bad judgement? Yeah that checks out.

Fuck him.
