There’s a quiet storm gathering in Menlo Park. Behind the closed doors of Meta’s sleek headquarters, something dark is taking shape—something Zuckerberg wants to call superintelligence. And he’s not just dabbling. He’s all in.
According to a recent Bloomberg report, Meta’s CEO is assembling an elite unit—handpicked, tightly controlled, and working within arm’s reach of the man himself. This is no ordinary project. This is a full-throttle sprint toward Artificial General Intelligence—machines that think, reason, and react like humans… or perhaps, better.
The lab is being built in secrecy, with about 50 hand-picked engineers and researchers. Zuckerberg is said to be in “founder mode” again: micromanaging, recruiting personally, and pushing hard for something that resembles godlike intelligence—by the end of the year.
Think about that. A man with more behavioral data on the global population than any government on Earth… is now racing to build machines that can think like us. Or for us.
What could go wrong?
Inside Meta, it’s chaos. Zuckerberg is reportedly furious over the performance of Llama 4, their latest AI model, which failed to meet his towering expectations. Its successor, codenamed Behemoth, was shelved after leadership quietly admitted it wasn’t much better.
But that didn’t slow him down. It only made him hungrier.
Now, he’s pouring billions into new infrastructure, forming strategic alliances (like with Scale AI CEO Alexandr Wang), and building massive data centers to feed the insatiable hunger of these digital minds-in-the-making. He’s telling new hires that Meta’s advertising war chest means no need for outside investors—no pesky oversight, no brakes.
Meanwhile, whispers of a new hiring frenzy sit uneasily beside memos warning of more mass layoffs in 2025. Human capital out, machine power in. Welcome to Meta’s new business model: bleed the workforce to birth the machine.
Zuckerberg doesn’t want to play catch-up anymore. He wants to be first to the finish line, beating OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic at their own game. But this isn’t just a game anymore. This is the creation of something we may never be able to control once it’s born.
In a world increasingly dominated by surveillance, manipulation, and algorithmic control, Zuckerberg’s obsession with building “superintelligence” reads less like innovation and more like escalation. A digital arms race, with humanity caught in the middle.
We’ve entered the age of techno-empires. And behind Meta’s doors, a new kind of god is being shaped—not in clay, not in scripture, but in code. And it won’t ask for your worship. It will expect it.
