Meta founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg speaks during the Meta Connect event at Meta headquarters in Menlo Park, California, on Sept. 27, 2023. Meta is slated to report second-quarter earnings on Wednesday after the close of regular trading. Meta's ad revenue is projected to show an increase of 19% to $37.6 billion, according to StreetAccount. Heading into Meta's report on Wednesday, the digital ad market has shown some signs of weakness. Alphabet reported lower-than-expected ad revenue out of YouTube last week, and on Tuesday, Pinterest issued disappointing third-quarter guidance, leading to a 15% plunge in the stock after hours.

Apple said on Monday that the artificial intelligence models underpinning Apple Intelligence, its AI system, were pretrained on processors designed by Google, a sign that Big Tech companies are looking for alternatives to Nvidia when it comes to the training of cutting-edge AI. Apple's choice of Google's homegrown Tensor Processing Unit (TPU) for training was detailed in a technical paper just published by the company. Separately, Apple released a preview version of Apple Intelligence for some devices on Monday. Apple doesn't name Google or Nvidia in its 47-page paper, but did note its Apple Foundation Model (AFM) and AFM server are trained on "Cloud TPU clusters." "This system allows us to train the AFM models efficiently and scalably, including AFM-on-device, AFM-server, and larger models," Apple said in the paper.

But Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said in an interview with Bloomberg's Emily Chang published Tuesday that the most important thing is "learning how to think critically and learning values when you're young." Zuckerberg said in the interview that his "hiring philosophy" follows this line of thought. It's not the first time the CEO has talked about considering a candidate's values when hiring. While Zuckerberg may have a strict standard for hiring candidates, the tech giant has slowed its hiring compared to the pandemic-era growth. Zuckerberg said earlier this year the company would continue to limit its head count and hiring plans would remain "relatively minimal."

Many tech workers in California moved to Austin during the pandemic in search of a new lifestyle. Some tech workers say they regret moving there, given its middling tech scene and "fake" atmosphere. They cited several contributing factors, including extreme temperatures, traffic, overcrowding, and — perhaps most surprising — a middling tech scene that fails to live up to the hype. From Silicon Valley to the Silicon HillsNot long ago, Austin's tech scene was ascendant, with national headlines suggesting it could take on Silicon Valley. He acknowledged there's not much of a tech scene there but will take that over what he perceived as Austin's smoke and mirrors.

Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg have taken digs at each other before. Now the two tech CEOs have seemingly agreed to a cage fight. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman told Bloomberg he "would go watch" if the two actually fight. "I would go watch if he and Zuck actually did that," OpenAI CEO Sam Altman told Bloomberg's Emily Chang on Thursday, though he said he doesn't think he would ever take Musk on in a physical fight. "He really cares about AI safety a lot," Altman told Bloomberg of Musk.
