Project OT: Meta's AI Layoff Blueprint And Why It's Coming For More

A Reuters investigation just confirmed what Meta employees suspected all along: the company drew up a plan to shrink entire engineering teams by 60%, betting AI could cover the gap.
This episode, Darnley breaks down Project OT: Meta's internal blueprint for going 'AI-native', and makes the case for why this is a security story first, not just a business story. We walk through the oncall math, the domain-knowledge problem, the honest pros and cons of AI-native small teams, and why president Obama got hacked.
Darnley lays out where this pattern realistically goes over the next three to five years, and what it means if you work in IT or security specifically. No doom. Just the facts, and what to actually do about it before it's too late.
