The first part kind of had me going “oh wow, this doesn’t seem like a thinly veiled advertisement for once”. You know, the common thing we see from frontier labs.

Then I got to the examples.

> my agent plans personalized recipes for us to make together each weekend, orders the ingredients, and then offers suggestions as we're baking.

I mean universe forbid you from using a recipe from one of the many talented bakers on YOUR platform. Or even better, asking a family member or family friend.

> Invention, not automation, will be the greatest contribution of superintelligence. Early AI could answer questions and do routine work. Soon it will increasingly help discover new knowledge -- ranging from discovering new drugs to cure a family member's disease to finding new ways to improve your business. While the number of questions a person can ask in a day is limited, the number of valuable things superintelligence can invent to help achieve your goals is unlimited.

Sort of a half-baked tangent of a thought but is it really possible for an AI superintelligence to "invent"?

Funny that it bashes a future where AI destroys jobs but embraces one where it destroys relationships and wellbeing.

As you can see in this PowerPoint slide, the latter produces a 0.15% increase in YoY revenue in the under-59 demographic.

My overarching thought after reading as much as I could stand of this is: "Wow, sure sounds like Zuck really drank his own Kool-Aid - or if he didn't, at least he wants us all to believe that he did!". The question is not whether "superintelligence" will be accomplished, the question is only how fast. I mean, LLMs are nice, but the jury's still out on whether they alone will be enough for "superintelligence"...

> I do not understand why anyone who believes that AI will eliminate most jobs and much of humanity's relevance would rush to build that future.

Because they can make a sh*tload of money by doing it (or at least they hope they can)?
