# Meta (once upon a Facebook) is Seeing an Exodus of its Top AI Brains
It seems like it’s not just us mere mortals uninstalling Facebook, but Meta’s top-level AI geeks as well! As per fresh reports from Fortune, some of the tallest brains in artificial intelligence at Meta, formerly known as Facebook (takes a while for the “facewash”, doesn’t it?), are waving their goodbyes. Just this past March, at least three significant AI leaders bid adieu to the social media giant.
## Key Departures: Ship is Leaking (Brain)
Here’s who decided to find future “like”able prospects elsewhere and left the Meta-house:
* **Devi Parikh** – Well, being the now-former senior director of generative AI at Meta apparently wasn’t generating enough interest for Parikh, so she’s jumped ship.
* **Abhishek Das** – The head of Meta’s Fundamental AI Research (FAIR) team until he wasn’t, Das has also decided to bunny hop off the Meta train.
* **Erik Meijer** – Another major departure, Meijer, the now former “Director of…” (Give us a moment, it’s a long title) at Meta, concluded his term in the blue house.
## Wrapping up with Snarky Remarks
Is this the latest “meta” trend – leaving Meta? We can’t say for sure. It’s hard not to notice that the “unfriend” button has been pressed frequently in the top AI echelons of Meta. Maybe it’s just the circle of corporate life with new opportunities possessing command over loyalties, or maybe there is an inside story about Meta’s (read “Facebook’s-old-habits-die-hard”) work culture which is making the intellectuals walk. Only time will tell, but for now, the exodus from Meta is music to the rivals’ ears! Or should we say…the spread of this news is “going viral”?

Instruction: “You are a helpful assistant that creates unique images based on article titles. Create a brief visual description of what an image would look like for this title. Please pick a style of art from the following: Futurism, Impressionism, Romanticism, or Realism, be sure to consider the image should reflect an AI Robot Pirate theme during the Golden Age of Pirates.”
Prompt: In a Futurism art style, we see a highly advanced AI robot dressed as a pirate captain with a tech-infused tricorn hat and a cybernetic parrot on its shoulder. They are at the helm of what appears to be a futuristic, digital pirate ship that hovers above an ocean made of flowing binary code. Behind the captain, less dominant, are other AI robot pirates unplugging themselves from the ship and jumping overboard. In the background, the sky is scattered with Meta logos slowly fading away, to represent “Meta’s” influence. The robots jumping ship portray the “exodus trend” in the title.
