B’game has been in the news about Bay Area layoffs lately. Both the Comicle and the Merc have reported on our shrinking Bayfront employee count:

Meta’s sweeping layoffs will affect nearly 700 Bay Area workers, adding to years of cuts in the face of massive artificial intelligence investment and overhiring during the pandemic. The social media giant said in state filings that layoffs would affect 338 workers in Burlingame, 252 in San Francisco and 81 in Fremont — for a total of 671. In April, Meta also cut nearly 200 jobs in Burlingame and Sunnyvale.

Perhaps Meta could redeploy some of that excess virtual reality talent to redesign a large auditorium or conference room to be a movie theater on campus. Or wait. A nice drive-in, drive-up theater on top of the massive parking structure would be nice. I would even wear my Metaview glasses instead of hooking a big metal speaker to my car window.
