To be fair, this was his job description: Fundamental AI Research (FAIR) lab. Not AI products division. You can't expect marketable products from a fundamental AI research lab.

It's "Facebook Artificial Intelligence Research", not fundamental. So basically involves both fundamental and applied research.

I literally linked the official site and it currently says Facebook. I have known FAIR for many years and I have always know it as Facebook. Can you link any official source of changing the name.
