Deeply embarrassing to see this coming from one of America's most powerful companies, especially after the metaverse faceplant from a few years back.

#12Anthropic, to their credit, just published that pretty funny paper about how they couldn't get their chatbot to run a single vending machine profitably[1]. Admirable that Mark is so visionary he's skipped straight past Bodega-intelligence to super-intelligence [1] https://www.anthropic.com/research/project-vend-1?ref=blog.m...
Anthropic also expects that superintelligence will be reached in the somewhat near future. The intuition is that there's just not that much distance between a chatbot that can manage a vending machine poorly and a chatbot that can manage it well.

#13If trends continue, then you'd expect people to spend less time in productivity software, and more time creating and connecting. Does the average American worker today spend a ton of time in productivity software? I know and Zuckerberg surely knows the impact on labor will be much more pervasive than that, so it seems like an odd way to frame the future.
more time creating
Considering that the most common use for "AI" is to take jobs away from creators like artists, musicians, illustrators, writers, and such, I find this statement hard to believe.
So far, all I've seen is AI taking money away from the least-paid workers (artists, et.al.) and giving it to tech billionaires.

#14>Personal superintelligence that knows us deeply, understands our goals, and can help us achieve.
>We believe the benefits of superintelligence should be shared with the world as broadly as possible.
So... ads.

#15Is he renaming the company again?
if the way they are explicitly starting to optimize llm chats for engagements and friend-like behaviour, he'll just need to switch around some letters to call it Mate

#16> “Personal superintelligence”
just running on metas servers with metas software and metas tracking and algorithms.
> "This is distinct from others in the industry who believe superintelligence should be directed centrally towards automating all valuable work, and then humanity will live on a dole"
says the guy who spend most of the last 3 years laying people off.
theres just too much sliminess to dissect. i leave it at that.
one thing for sure, these evil megacorps will use this tech in a dystopian and extractive way. nothing ever changes.

#17"more meaningful impact on our lives will likely come from everyone having a personal superintelligence that helps you achieve your goals, create what you want to see in the world, experience any adventure, be a better friend to those you care about, and grow to become the person you aspire to be."
Meanwhile I can't properly find items that are listed on FB marketplace.
Re: Meta's Vision for Superintelligence
#18It is possible to hold the following two statements to be true without risk of contradiction:
1. LLMs and "AI" broadly can become a very useful and powerful technology that can have a transformative effect on industry and so on.
2. Talk of "superintelligence" is total horseshit.

#19I don't buy these Superintelligence claims from Meta of 'abundance' and 'humans are free to do other things' as they are tied to Wall St and earnings. It is always abundance for the super rich, scarcity for those in jobs. How can I be free to do my gardening whenever I want when the landlord is asking for $11K rent in my SF flat? So eventually they will do the opposite of this 'vision' and put this super intelligence…

You can work his fields in exchange for most of the harvest of course!
