Is this "I'm losing so I think we should change the rules"? Because it seems like that.

Similar to Altman saying "we should slow down."

or musk a few years ago, pause ai training for 6 months (so we can catch up)

Its weird to me that this is supposed to be THE end goal. Having an agent that does "everything" for you sounds like no paradise. It sounds depressing.

Maybe there is value in expending effort and actual creativity.

Still say Matrix 3 would have been better if the cliffhanger at the end of 2 had been that "the real world" was just another nested layer of the Matrix for those who rejected the primary fiction. I mean, why bother sending an army like that when one tiny robot could carry in a plague? Or, as demonstrated by Smith, when an Agent can virally infect and take over someone's mind while they're connected? Even in 1, Smith…

The "nested reality" twist was already used by the "13th floor" movie so perhaps they intentionally choose a different direction.

https://archive.is/p1ehR The essay from Zuckerberg

So many em dashes...

There really wasn’t that many and this did not have the voice of written-by-an-LLM to me

And they’re not em-dashes -- they’re double hyphens.

Is going to take it one day at a time, on being a less evil bilionaire :-) "Zuckerberg faces questions over why superyacht reportedly declined to help stranded boat" - https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/aug/09/zuckerberg-s...

Reading the facts of this incident, it seems like much to do about nothing. The crew are saying that the request came in on a frequency they weren't monitoring (and apparently were not required to monitor.) The Coast Guard determined it was not an emergency. The criticism lies with those who failed to properly fuel their boat, not the crew who didn't respond to a request that came over a frequency they were not on. They can't monitor every frequency. I am open to new facts being discovered that changes this assessment.

Comments here are surprising to me.

I get folks don’t like Zuckerberg and his company and don’t trust his intentions… I don’t either.

But this is an unquestionably good thing right?. The more open source software out there the better. And the more open weights or even over source AI stuff the better too right? More competition the better generally speaking I think.

Unless I’m missing something and am getting this whole situation wrong. Please let me know if I am.
