I know it's a bit stupid saying this about the owner of the world's biggest social network, but does he understand people at all?

I'm pretty sure you wouldn't need a very advanced AI to replace most friends' interactions on Facebook, but that's completely missing the point.

He doesnt understand people, but he understands market capture.

What a nerd.

Are all of Mark's friends LLMs, ergo he thinks everyone else's should be too?

To a rich person, anyone who interacts with them is likely to be after their money. So from his point of view, LLMs are actually conversation partners who he knows aren't seeing him as a rich person, and so may actually feel more trustworthy than real people.

Of course, this is entirely in conflict with the fact that he will be training LLMs to extract everyone else's money. But emotions aren't logical.

I think he's on to something big here. People are getting more and more isolated, spending countless hours scrolling on stupid small screens.

What if you could have your perfect information bubble from all your friends, who always are there for you, always agree, or act in just the right way?

Never thought about this one. Well, I guess that why he's a billionaire.

I'm happy I lived before this nightmare comes to life.

Stable genius who blew 40b on metaverse ready for his next hit

I think of him as a 20 year old one hit wonder who got lucky by making a popular website and meeting Sheryl Sandberg. Meta's strategy since then has been to buy their competitors or just rip off their core features. When was the last thing Facebook did anything new or interesting? Marky Mark and the Zucky Bunch have been coasting for over 10 years at least

> “I think people are going to want a system that knows them well and that kind of understands them in the way that their feed algorithms do,” My god, he thinks people like their feed algorithm.

Gravity will catch up with the coyote as the user base ages out.

Then their AI users can interact with each other in their shiny metaverse so we humans can be left in peace.
