Meta's massive AI investment represents necessary catch-up spending after falling behind competitors like OpenAI and Google. The company's open-source approach hasn't delivered the breakthrough results needed, and Zuckerberg's aggressive hiring and infrastructure push show a serious commitment to regaining leadership in the AI race.
This is another costly Meta moonshot that may not deliver returns, similar to the company's $60 billion metaverse spending since 2020, which has yielded no clear profits. The shift away from open-source models contradicts years of company philosophy, and the astronomical spending raises questions about the sustainability of its business strategy.
