Seems like Meta will also have to lay off many peons to pay for its "Superintelligence" unit. Over half the names on this list are Chinese nationals, dominated by Tsinghua graduates.

Damn. This sort of thing is presumably going to happen with increasing frequency. That you can't trust photos/video any more is going to create so many problems.
