Meta Seeks $20B Oracle Partnership to Boost AI Computing Power

Oracle is making significant moves in the AI cloud computing space, with reports emerging of a potential $20 billion deal with Meta that could reshape the social media giant's AI infrastructure capabilities.

Details:

• Oracle is in talks with Meta for a multi-year cloud deal worth about $20 billion. The contract would give Meta more computing power to train and deploy AI models. It would add to, not replace, Meta’s current cloud providers

• The news comes just a week after OpenAI signed a $300 billion, five-year contract with Oracle. Oracle has also built partnerships with Amazon, Alphabet, and Microsoft, letting customers run Oracle Cloud alongside native services. These partnerships drove a sixteen-fold revenue increase

• Recently, Oracle announced four multi-billion-dollar contracts as companies race to expand computing capacity. The company offers integrated cloud tech with flexible setups and expects more major customers. Oracle projects its cloud revenue will surpass half a trillion dollars

This potential Meta partnership underscores the intense competition in the AI space, where companies like OpenAI and xAI are driving unprecedented demand for computing resources.

AI and Job Security

Gen Z Job Crisis Already Here as AI Eliminates Entry Positions

The AI job losses that many tech leaders called a future issue are already here, and Gen Z is taking the hardest hit. Goodwill CEO Steve Preston, whose group helped over 2 million job seekers last year, warns of a growing youth unemployment crisis that he expects will worsen.

Details:

• Preston notes that big companies are making major layoffs as they move to AI, hitting call centers and sales hardest. Young adults without degrees face the worst job market, despite claims that skills-based hiring makes degrees less important. In reality, “people without college degrees have no jobs”

• The issue goes deeper than layoffs. By wiping out entry-level roles, AI is erasing the training ground where workers learned basics and got mentoring. Without that, higher-level positions will face shortages, and Gen Z risks losing the foundation for career growth

• To adapt, Preston advises mastering tools like Excel, Google Docs, ChatGPT and Gemini. Those who do are “leapfrogging” others. For non-corporate paths, he suggests clean tech skills like solar panel installation. He warns that even millennials and Gen Xers who resist change may be shut out of jobs

The AI shift is underway, leaving behind those slow to adapt. But Preston stresses: with the right digital and AI skills, it’s never too late to transform your career.

How to Generate a Virtual Influencer for Instagram Reels and Stories

Creating influencer-style content no longer requires expensive photoshoots, professional models, or big budgets—this workflow shows you how to design realistic, professional assets from scratch in just minutes.

1. Open Influencer Studio

   Go to Influencer Studio, toggle on the necessary settings, and prepare to generate your influencer.

2. Set canvas and quality

   • Image Size → Portrait 9:16

   • Quality → High

   This gives you crisp, vertical assets that are optimized for Reels and Stories.

3. Generate base influencer

   Use a clear persona prompt, for example:

   • “24-year-old American male, olive complexion, dark brown short hair, hazel eyes, athletic build, rugged masculine features”

   Save the best 2 to 3 generations as your base references for consistency.

4. Lock in framing and lighting

   Keep mid-shot or medium-close framing for social video.

   Use soft, natural lighting or a clean studio light look so skin tones and outfits read well on mobile.

5. Customize the outfit

   • Actions → Change My Outfit → Generate

   Upload your chosen outfit or variants that match your niche. Keep color and style consistent with your brand or the sponsor.

6. Add background or venue

   Use concise scene prompts (e.g., Place influencer in a luxury restaurant)

   Generate multiple takes:

   • Seated at a table

   • Near a window

   • Standing entry shot

   Provides A–B–C angles for a natural edit

7. Refine details and maintain identity

   Check facial consistency across images, fix minor artifacts, and keep hair, eye color, and makeup style aligned with the base persona.

   Export 2 to 4 final stills to use as thumbnails, cover frames, and cutaway shots.

8. Turn into video

   • Actions → Turn into Video

   Generate a 6 to 12 second clip first for quick testing. If needed, produce a 15 to 20 second version for Reels. Let motion stay subtle and realistic.

9. Prepare captions, audio, and posting

   Create a short caption with clear CTA. Post on Instagram as the influencer persona - share the video first, then follow with 1-2 stills in a carousel for extra reach.

Note: Avoid cluttered or overly busy backgrounds, since simple and clean environments usually edit better and keep the focus on the influencer.
