Meta Launched a New AI Model and Employees Are Being Ranked by How Much AI They Use

Episode notes

April 9, 2026: Meta had a big week. The company launched Muse Spark, its first model from a completely rebuilt AI team, framing it as the opening move toward personal superintelligence. And internally, employees were competing on a secret leaderboard tracking exactly how many AI tokens each of the company's 85,000 workers consumed — with titles like "Token Legend" awarded to the top users. Their CEO didn't crack the top 250. We break down what both stories mean for the future of work, plus why Lowe's just committed $250 million to skilled trades training and why OpenAI and Anthropic are building AI models too dangerous to release to the public.
