Except for the feed bit this is precisely what I’ve been wanting Apple to do with AI for the last two years

Former meta prick, sorry employee: > Meta's strategy Meta has no strategy. The people that made llama work left two years ago. MSI are a bunch of charlatans who are trying to change the culutre and tooling of meta from the outside (I can see their point, trying to work outside of the defaults is incredibly hard.) its basically a bun fight, with all of your productive workers being poached by frontier labs, and everyo…
I disagree. The strategy was unclear until now. Spending billions on acquisitions and targeted hires, clearing ranks, playing catch-up on coding and multimodal, open sourcing weak models, the AI girlfriends. It was all very confusing. It is clear now. Alex and co have refocused Meta on Personal AGI or pAGI. The AI that runs your life. It feels appropriate for a social media company that hosts your photos and group ch…
From the outside looking in, I don't think Meta has a clear vision. I think it's a stretch to say that this one announcement makes it clear. There are AI announcements from Meta every month, recent ones more focused on coding (Muse Spark/Muse Code)
Their ads team wants AI to improve their targeting and ad creation. Some want to have frontier AI including coding. Others might want personal AI agent. Then there's the flirting with renting their compute
And I'm not even taking shots at them. I think Google is exactly the same. I think OpenAI is largely the same (though lately more following Anthropic footsteps and focusing on productivity). And I think the whole field is so new and allows change in so many places - that it's sort of normal or fine to throw things at the wall and see what sticks.
But nothing as of now says to me that Meta has a clear strategy around llms

#675I cant help feeling you'd have to be a special kind of stupid at this point to start feeding even more of your life into Meta. This is clearly aimed at the over 50's - their primary market on facebook.
Billions of people use Facebook regularly. It's a tiny minority of us who would not use a useful product because of privacy concerns. I think you are wrong. It's not they who are a "special kind of stupid." It is us who are a "special kind of paranoid." Justifiably so, I would contend.
No, they're not wrong. There are just a very large number of people who are a special kind of stupid.

Really? There's so much information about how Meta targeted children with addictive design patterns. They paid the fine, and profited in the meantime. Do you really think they have any reason not to do the same in the future?
They will use it for nefarious but "legal" purposes - however - they have decades of experience handling such data and keeping it "safe" from "illegal" purposes.
I think an $18 billion dollar fine implies that they broke a law or two.

It bothers me when people have terrible inefficient workflows for no good reason
What you think is "terribly Ineffcient" can be also considered "perfectly acceptable and resilient to systemic shocks". Hyperfixation on efficiency gains is a disease of modern society.
Copy pasting ai code from the browser is not perfectly acceptable. The only reason to do it is because you haven’t tried agents. It shows a lack of imagination and a willingness to settle for inferiority.

Want anyone at Harvards personal info? How do you have that? I dont know they trust me because they are stupid. The fact that this conversation is public and anyone uses meta garbage is what's wrong with so many things
People generally reply to this with "He was making a point. He wasn't saying he couldn't be trusted, he was saying 'I could be anyone'" I don't get it. I think he meant exactly how it looks on paper
Fine in isolation but then he proceeded to act in Dastardly ways for a decade.

That article is a few years old. https://yougov.com/en-gb/topics/brand/Meta-Brand
Sorry, again, this data proves my point. "Disliked by 28%" is not a majority. And "Meta" is not the product people use. Instagram is at 19% disliked. Majority "like" instagram. https://yougov.com/en-gb/topics/application/Instagram-Mobile... BMW is at 14% disliked. Just as another "not everyones cup of tea" brand comparison. https://yougov.com/en-gb/topics/brand/BMW I just don't think people (normies) care. You can di…

I'm assuming they were asked about (and compensated for) the handle grab?
