I 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 to replace jobs.

Also, what happened to the Metaverse that Meta invested hundreds of billions as per their namesake?

The metaverse is an important part for this vision of the future.

With the metaverse it won't matter that you live in a 3x3m cubicle because you will use your VR headset to pretend you live in a spacious and comfortable place.

That's how it was in snow crash anyway, where the term comes from.

Anthropic, 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

They bought a shit ton of GPUs before the LLM boom, which gave them a running start on training their own model. Zuck talks about it in an interview with Lex Friedman.

If 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.
