  • Mark Zuckerberg’s Big Bet: Why He Hired 28-Year-Old Alexandr Wang

    Mark Zuckerberg’s Big Bet: Why He Hired 28-Year-Old Alexandr Wang

    Meta is accelerating its push in the AI race. The Silicon Valley giant has begun aggressively hiring top talent for its AI division, and at the forefront of this initiative is Alexandr Wang, who has been appointed as Meta’s new Chief AI Officer. In June 2025, Mark Zuckerberg brought Wang on board to lead Meta’s ambitious Superintelligence Labs, marking one of the most high-profile hires in the company’s history.

    Alexandr Wang’s Early Beginnings

    Wang’s journey started in 2016 when, at just 19 years old, he co-founded Scale AI with Lucy Guo. The duo joined a startup accelerator program and endured the grind of early startup life—sleeping on air mattresses while working tirelessly to bring their vision to life.

    Their efforts paid off. Scale AI quickly gained recognition across the tech industry, impressing investors and reshaping how major tech firms thought about data and AI infrastructure.

    Meta’s $14 Billion Hiring Move

    Recognizing both Wang’s talent and the potential of his company, Mark Zuckerberg personally recruited him in June 2025. The deal included a staggering $14.3 billion investment into Scale AI, while placing Wang at the helm of Meta’s AI operations.

    Now leading a team of industry experts, Wang oversees the company’s Superintelligence program as well as all other AI research and product teams—brought together under the new umbrella of Meta Superintelligence Labs.

    Reshaping Meta’s AI Vision

    Wang wasted no time making bold changes. According to an internal memo reported by Bloomberg, he announced a restructuring of Meta’s AI division into four dedicated groups, each focusing on critical areas: research, product, and infrastructure.

    “Superintelligence is coming,” Wang wrote in the memo, “and in order to take it seriously, we need to organize around the key areas that will be critical to reach it.”

    About Alexandr Wang and Scale AI

    Born in New Mexico to Chinese immigrant physicists, Wang dropped out of MIT to pursue Scale AI—a decision that turned him into a billionaire in his twenties. Over the years, he has built influential connections in Silicon Valley and Washington D.C., including with OpenAI’s Sam Altman and U.S. lawmakers.

    Founded in 2016, Scale AI provides vast amounts of labeled data crucial for training advanced AI systems, leveraging gig workers through platforms like Rotasks and Outlier. By May 2024, Scale AI had reached a valuation of nearly $14 billion, backed by investors such as Nvidia, Amazon, and Meta itself.

  • Top Bhojpuri Songs: Tracks That Are Ruling the Internet

    Top Bhojpuri Songs: Tracks That Are Ruling the Internet

    Bhojpuri songs are known across India for their energy, entertainment, and vibrant storytelling. With the growing popularity of Bhojpuri artists, their music continues to attract millions of listeners nationwide. From festival hits to tracks inspired by real-life events—like Nirahua’s songs on GST rules and the triple talaq law—the Bhojpuri music industry has something for every mood. Here’s a look at some of the most iconic and trending Bhojpuri songs:

    1. Lollipop Lagelu – Pawan Singh

    Arguably the most famous Bhojpuri track, Lollipop Lagelu became an instant hit upon release. Sung by Pawan Singh, the song gave him massive popularity in Bihar and Jharkhand, and later across the globe. Although Singh had released his first album Odhaniya Wali in 1997, it was this iconic number that made him a household name.

    2. Raja Raja Kareja Mein Samja – Radheshyam Rasya

    This energetic track, sung by Radheshyam Rasya, is considered an anthem for bachelor parties. Even though the singer didn’t gain widespread fame in the Bhojpuri industry, this song remains his signature hit and continues to be a crowd favorite whenever performed live.

    3. Laga Ke Fair Lovely – Khesari Lal Yadav & Khushboo Jain

    A romantic DJ track, Laga Ke Fair Lovely is extremely popular among the youth of Bihar. Featured in the film Mehndi Laga Ke Rakhna, the song stars Khesari Lal Yadav and Khushboo Jain, with Kajal Raghwani playing the lead actress. Directed by Rajnish Mishra and shot mostly in Uttar Pradesh, the film gained huge attention thanks to this track.

    4. Phulari Bina Chatni – Sundar Popo / Kanchan & Babla

    Originally sung by Sundar Popo in 1983, this classic was later covered by the musical duo Kanchan and Babla, making it even more popular. The song achieved international fame when Bollywood superstar Salman Khan featured it in his film Dabangg 2. This evergreen hit continues to resonate with audiences worldwide.

  • Dream11 Shuts Down Core Business: The Impact of India’s Online Gaming Bill

    Dream11 Shuts Down Core Business: The Impact of India’s Online Gaming Bill

    Dream11 has decided to shut down its real-money gaming (RMG) business, which reportedly contributed nearly two-thirds of its revenue, according to an Entrackr report. The move was communicated in an internal town hall on Wednesday, shortly after the Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Bill, 2025 was passed by both Houses of Parliament.

    Exploring New Avenues

    While the exit marks a major shift for the company, Dream11 may explore new business verticals, including possible overseas expansion—an approach that rival Mobile Premier League (MPL) has already adopted.

    Financial Performance Before the Ban

    Dream11 had been on a strong growth trajectory before the regulatory change. Its revenue surged to ₹6,384 crore in FY23, up from ₹3,841 crore in FY22. Net profit also jumped 32% year-on-year to ₹188 crore during the same period.

    Former Executive Calls Ban ‘Heartbreaking’

    Smrita Singh Chandra, former Vice President of Policy Communications at Dream11, expressed strong criticism of the government’s decision. Calling the Bill “deeply unjust” and “unethical,” she wrote on LinkedIn that declaring a platform illegal after years of taxation, regulation, and judicial recognition was “more than just wrong.”

    Chandra reflected on her nine-year journey with the company, noting that Dream11 had grown “brick by brick, regulation by regulation, court order by court order,” while maintaining compliance and ethical practices. She lamented that the government had chosen to “criminalise a vibrant, skill-based industry overnight”, without acknowledging the distinction between fantasy sports and gambling.

    What’s Next for Dream11?

    With its core RMG business gone, Dream11 faces a pivotal moment. The company may pivot towards global markets or innovate new formats in gaming and sports engagement. The coming months will determine whether it can reinvent itself—or fade from the space it once dominated.
