Massive Job Cuts Expected As Meta Doubles Down On Generative AI

Meta is reportedly weighing major layoffs that could affect 20%+ of staff as it pushes deeper into generative AI. Meta denies the reports, but sources say leaders are already reviewing cuts to reduce infrastructure costs.

Details:

  • The possible 20% cut would be far bigger than past layoffs. It reflects Meta’s plan to spend heavily on AI infrastructure while relying on AI tools to let smaller teams do more

  • This shift comes from Mark Zuckerberg’s strong push into AI. It also follows fresh AI hires, deals like Moltbook and Manus, and a wider trend of tech firms using AI to run leaner teams

  • At the same time, Meta faces pressure to deliver results. Recent Llama 4 projects like Behemoth and Avocado have hit delays and performance issues, making the race more urgent

As Meta shifts toward superintelligence, potential layoffs reflect a wider tech push for AI efficiency at the cost of jobs.

Elon Musk Admits xAI Was Not Built Right the First Time

Elon Musk is rebuilding xAI from scratch, saying it was not built right the first time. With most co-founders gone and major staff cuts, the company is in a high-pressure fight to keep up with OpenAI and Anthropic.

Details:

  • xAI is going through a messy rebuild. It lost 11 senior engineers last month and brought in Tesla and SpaceX executives to review staff, though its huge compute power still attracts top talent

  • The company is focusing more on AI coding tools. Musk has admitted xAI is behind Claude Code and Codex, pushing it away from Grok’s viral growth strategy toward more practical products

  • Pressure is also rising from outside the company. As xAI ties more closely with SpaceX and Tesla, it must prove it can build a stable, revenue-generating business

Ultimately, Musk is expecting that aggressive consolidation and a narrower product focus will allow xAI to recover from its internal churn.

How to Auto-Generate Videos From Content With Manus

You do not need advanced editing skills to turn written content into something more visual and engaging. With the right setup in Manus, you can take an article or post and turn it into a short promo video in just a few steps.

  1. Choose source content

    Pick one clear piece of content, like a blog post, press release, article, or product update.

  2. Save it in right format

    Download or save the content as:

    • PDF

    • Markdown

    Keep the file clean and complete before uploading.

  3. Log in and create project

    Go to Manus, sign in, and start a fresh project for the video task.

  4. Set project instruction

    Tell Manus what role it should play.

    Example:

    “You are the short-form video creator for [my brand]. Your job is to turn written content into branded promo videos for social media.”

  5. Launch video skill and enter task

    Inside the project:

    • Tap the plus button

    • Choose Use Skills

    • Select video-generator

    Then use a prompt like this:

    “Create a 15 to 20 second teaser video from the attached content. The goal is to get viewers to read the full article. Make it vertical for Instagram Reels. Show me 4 script options before generating. Use default mode.”

  6. Review script options

    Read the script choices carefully and pick the best one for your audience. Check for:

    • a strong hook

    • simple wording

    • a clear CTA

  7. Generate and review video

    Generate the video after choosing the script. It usually takes 5 to 10 minutes and may use around 499 to 800 credits. Review the final video to make sure the message, pacing, and CTA fit the original content.

Note: Make sure your CTA matches the purpose of the video, whether that is reading the full blog, visiting a page, or learning more.

Create Your Own Photo Like This Using the Prompt Below:

Shot on a high-detail Hasselblad X2D 100C with a fast 80 mm lens, delivering cinematic depth of field and professional quality: a dynamic medium close-up captured from a slightly low angle, emphasizing the model's forward movement while keeping the face and shoulder in sharp focus, with the outstretched hand deliberately blurred in the foreground. This is an editorial street-style photograph capturing a moment of spontaneous urban connection. The male model a reference image walks across a busy city crosswalk, sharply turning his head over his shoulder to look directly at the viewer while extending one hand forward in a gesture of invitation or urging someone to follow. He wears a classic black leather biker jacket over a crisp white T-shirt, embodying effortless metropolitan chic. In his extended hand he holds a clear plastic cup with a drink, adding a sense of motion blur and immediate interaction with the viewer. The scene unfolds on a lively downtown street during the daytime, defined by tall skyscrapers and urban traffic softly blurred in the background. The image uses a high-contrast black-and-white tonality, relying on bright natural daylight al daylight and sharp shadows to achieve a gritty, authentic street atmosphere. The overall aesthetic is raw, documentary-style fashion photography inspired by 1990s street culture and contemporary menswear campaigns.
