Despite the associated concerns, Meta is increasing its AI spending. After announcing financial results that were heavily impacted by a massive tax bill, the company said its AI infrastructure spending will continue to rise and capital expenditure in 2026 will be "notably larger" than in 2025.

Meta just reported $51.24 billion in quarterly revenue, up 26% YoY and beating both Wall Street's and its own expectations for Q3. But its earnings per share (EPS) of $1.05 was far below Wall Street's expected $6.70.

Facebook parent Meta Platforms (META.O), opens new tab said on Tuesday it had acquired Moltbook, a social networking platform built for artificial intelligence agents, bringing the company's ​founders into its AI research division.

The development signals an intense race ‌among tech giants to snap up AI talent and technology, as autonomous agents capable of executing real-world tasks move from novelty to the next frontier of the industry.

[...]

Moltbook, a Reddit-like site where AI-powered bots appear to swap code and gossip about their human owners, was started as a niche experiment in late January.

It ​has since become the center of a growing debate on how close ​computers are to possessing human-like intelligence.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman played down the site as a likely ‌fad ⁠but said the underlying technology offered a glimpse of the future.
