"The company is not for sale. It's another one of his tactics to try to mess with us."

"So my very basic read is Elon's offer isn't serious."

"Musk and his legal team's insistence that the offer is real should keep it in the headlines for a while, but I’m still skeptical of their story."

"We don't expect any meaningful discussions to develop."

"Elon's offer to purchase the OpenAI nonprofit for $97.4billion isn't going to happen."

"It's time for OpenAI to return to the open-source, safety-focused force for good it once was. We will make sure that happens."

"There is very little chance that FB is required to be broken up, as we expect the FTC to lose the case."

"If the FTC is successful, Meta may be forced to divest two of its largest brands."

"If Meta is found guilty of violating antitrust laws, it could be forced to divest its subsidiaries or restructure the business."

The antitrust lawsuit against Facebook "could force it to sell off Instagram and WhatsApp."

"Meta could be forced to sell off IG and WhatsApp if the FTC wins the trial."

"Mark Zuckerberg might have to kiss Instagram and WhatsApp goodbye."

"A ruling in favor of the government could upend the social-media industry's largest player by forcing the divestitures of services core to Meta's (META) identity."

Meta recently eliminated approximately 600 positions from LeCun's Fundamental AI Research unit as CEO Mark Zuckerberg shifted focus toward rapid product development and deployment of large language models to compete with OpenAI and Google.

LeCun has publicly criticized large language models as useful but incapable of achieving human-level reasoning, putting him at odds with Zuckerberg's AI strategy that prioritizes rapid rollout of language model-based products and services.</span

LeCun has publicly criticized large language models as useful but incapable of achieving human-level reasoning, putting him at odds with Zuckerberg's AI strategy that prioritizes rapid rollout of language model-based products and services.
