## Zuckerberg Doubles Down on AI
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has made the rash decision to double-down on massive AI spending, pushing a cutesy AI-mascot and poaching tech industry veteran Chirantan Desai to run a new division pushing Meta’s AI onto corporate customers.
## Investors Lose $20 Billion
Since Friday of last week, a large sell-off in Meta stocks shrunk his paper fortune by nearly $20 billion after Goldman Sachs began raising doubts about the long-term viability of the company’s AI ambitions.
## AI Revenue Target
Bain and Co recently found the AI industry will need to reach an annual revenue of $6 trillion by 2031 if tech leaders continue along their current spend-happy trajectory.
## Unprecedented Tech Leap Needed
Doing so will require leaps in technological progress the likes of which are unprecedented in the information age, well beyond past innovations embodied by world-changing consumer tech like smartphones.
## Corporate Suicide Risk
If the promised money shower fails to materialize, future historians will look back on this moment as the largest misallocation of capital in history.
## Key takeaway

Meta's AI investments risk becoming the largest capital misallocation in history if they fail to generate revenue.
