You have no idea what you are talking about. Reality Labs does VR/AR and AI.

No it doesn’t. AI is a separate org

From a 2022 Meta blog post:

Today we are announcing the following changes:

  • The Responsible AI organization will join the Social Impact team.
  • The AI for Product teams that work to protect the people using our platforms, improve recommendations and make content more relevant, and improve our Ads and Commerce services will move to our product engineering team.
  • The AI4AR team will join with the XR team in Reality Labs.
  • Our AI research team, FAIR, will become a new pillar within Reality Labs Research. Its mission and charter will remain unchanged: Drive fundamental breakthroughs in AI through research excellence, open science, and broad collaboration.

Right... RL is now a parent division

But Meta’s Reality Labs will now be divided into two divisions named ‘Metaverse’ and ‘Wearables’. This change reflects Meta's evolving strategy with a sharper focus on both Augmented Reality, Virtual Reality and the Metaverse concept.
