I am glad I use a host blocker so I do not have to read this nonsense.

People, more so you people with kids, the world is burning. Everything will change this year. (https://www.elninolive.com/)

That is the only future we should be focused on, all else is capitalist/corporate propaganda.

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 d…

Jury's been back for years: LLMs will never, can never, deliver superintelligence or AGI or the Omnissiah for that matter.

What's the evidence for that? I don't think it is likely to happen, but I don't see any evidence that AGI won't happen.

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…

> many talented bakers on YOUR platform

Time and time again I am shown that none of these big tech billionaires have any appreciation for human craft whatsoever. What's with the attempt to have an LLM do literally everything for you?

It's not healthy to try and be hyper efficient with literally everything in your life, nor is it healthy to remove all human aspects of everything.

Sometimes, it's totally OK to just slow down, allow imperfection, be inefficient, get things wrong, etc.

It's why all their silly consumer-oriented use cases for AI fall on deaf ears, at least for me. Crap like this, I'd never do. I'd also never use an LLM to book and plan my travel, I have no reason to, planning, finding hotels and flights, making my own itinerary is part of the joy. Finding recipes is part of the joy, etc.

They all just want to suck the fun out of everything, and make it hyper-efficient all while stripping away any human element.

If meta’s marketing team had any self awareness about the state of the ‘brand’, they would know the absolute best thing they could do for probably the next year at least would be to de-emphasize and hide zuck as much as possible, shut their mouths, and try to fade into the background as a silent ‘parent company’. Then they could just let instagram be instagram and hope people forget its part of Meta at all, and if at any point they wanted to spin up or buy a new product, they would not publicize that it is owned by meta. Absolutely no one likes or trusts them. One of worst brands in recent memory at this point.
