first_img Meta tests robots handling data center work, raising concerns about layoffs

Meta is testing robots for maintaining its artificial intelligence system data centers, including machines for replacing network cables, rebooting servers, and inspecting equipment. According to WIRED, Meta has tested robots from San Francisco's Watney Robotics, Quebec's Kinova, and Zurich's ABB to reduce labor costs. An employee estimated that a successful cable replacement robot could replace up to 80% of the work in certain positions, but the machine currently cannot match human speed.Meta's robotics program has raised concerns, with employees believing that automation may reduce the demand for experienced technicians and shift remaining work to low-wage positions operated by AI instructions. A Meta spokesperson stated that the U.S. is experiencing the largest infrastructure boom since World War II, with a severe shortage of skilled workers, and the company needs more workers, not fewer. Currently, robots still require human supervision and face challenges with obstacles, battery life, visual inspections, and handling dense cabling.Nvidia and Alibaba are also developing systems to improve robot training. ACE Robotics Chairman Wang Xiaogang stated that embodied AI could experience a "ChatGPT moment" by the end of 2027. Additionally, Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates proposed taxing robots and AI tokens, believing that the current tax system may make machines cheaper than employees.

HyENA announces the cessation of operations, and all markets will be gradually removed from August 31 to September 2

HyENA announced that it will cease operations and close all markets, with user funds unaffected. The official statement indicated that HyENA was built on the Hyperliquid HIP-3 standard and Ethena's USDe, allowing traders to earn profits while using USDe as margin for trading perpetual contracts, processing a cumulative trading volume of over $4 billion, serving more than 12,000 traders, and distributing nearly 2.5 million USDe rewards to margin users.The official statement noted that with the further alignment of Hyperliquid and USDC, the development space for USDe margin on the platform has changed, leading to the decision to terminate HyENA. Markets will be delisted in the order of one market per hour from August 31 to September 2, with positions automatically settled at the final marked price, and margins returned to the spot balance. HLPe deposits can be claimed at a 1:1 ratio along with accumulated rewards and withdrawn via Upshift, with the final reward distribution date set for August 27 and the final affiliate commission payment date on September 9.Additionally, the Ethena exchange reward program ended in June 2026, and HyENA points will remain in their final state, with no snapshots, conversions, or distributions taking place, and they hold no monetary value. The official emphasized that HyENA has no tokens and no issuance plans.
