Mike Isaac

Mike Isaac is the [[NewYorkTimes|New York Times]] reporter interviewed by Stephanie Hughes in Meta’s big bet on superintelligence about Meta’s AI spending, advertising payoff, [[MetaAI|Meta AI]], [[RayBanSmartGlasses|Ray-Ban smart glasses]], and the company’s shift away from virtual-reality urgency.

Isaac’s contribution to the wiki is the business-strategy framing: Meta’s AI spend is not only a frontier-model race, because better targeting can strengthen the existing ad business now. At the same time, he treats Personal Superintelligence as a still-unproven consumer-product direction, with ChatGPT holding stronger public mindshare and Reality Labs showing how quickly Meta’s priorities can move when a major bet underperforms.
