ManusAI Joins Meta

Kind of feels like they might have done it on purpose, just to "trigger" people and get more engagement. Feels like a lot of people are falling for it too, so I guess good for them.

> This announcement is more than just a headline—it's validation of our pioneering work with General AI Agents.

Anyone else thought this was satire when they read that as the second line in the announcement?

I literally laughed, then clicked the top left logo, to check out the homepage and see if this `ManuAI` was a real website.

You would think that they would know better to at least edit that out.

It's not just ironic -- it's cosmically poetic.

The evidence is pretty clear, and it keeps growing. Social media causes real harm, both to individuals and to society. It is addictive by design, it worsens mental health especially for kids, and it rewards outrage and misinformation. In that way, social media looks a lot like smoking. It was widely adopted before we understood the risks, then aggressively pushed because it was profitable.

Meta did more than just take part in this system. It perfected it, scaled it worldwide, and resisted meaningful change until public pressure or regulation forced its hand.

That is why it is worrying to see Meta present itself as a trusted builder of the next major technology wave. When a company repeatedly puts growth ahead of social harm, skepticism is not bias. It is common sense. Giving that company even more powerful and less transparent tools should cause us alarm.

It’s been very effective watermarking compared to some of the more complicated and seemingly unsuccessful methods that have been proposed.
