      Feels like it’s saying “Hey you stupid fucking investors who will believe anything, why don’t you give me another hundred billion dollars for these magic beans?”

        These magic beans will not only grow twice as fast, they’ll also fix the last magic beans that didn’t grow.

      His vision sounds like “let us listen to, and see every task you do, so that we can command the world centrally from my business”

      Zuckerberg predicted that personal AI systems that deeply understand users’ goals will become increasingly important, with devices like smart glasses becoming primary computing tools because they can understand context by seeing and hearing what users experience.

      Google Glasses 2.0 but with even more privacy concerns, literally a horrible idea. He’s just hype cycling his unpopular glasses.

      they make money by being digital pimps for snake oil products. lower the critical thinking of peasants, higher the chances of them getting fooled by targeted ads of scams and fake garbage.

      try searching for any chronic illness on chrome or talk about it on whatsapp and you will be getting ads for miracle cures for months.

    AIs are a long way away from even normal intelligence. Currently, they are parrots with dictionaries. They have no insight or real reflection on what they are doing. I am not sure I will see real artificial intelligence in my lifetime.

      What people also regularly forget is how insanely inefficient AI is. We need exponential amounts of energy for linear increasement in “AI power” (idk what’s the correct term). So to gain twice the power we need 4x the amount of energy to achieve this. Since we are not anywhere near being close to “super intelligence” AI would hit its limit in how much energy we can provide before it even coming close.

    If you’re genuinely interested in what “artificial superintelligence” (ASI) means, you can just look it up. Zuckerberg didn’t invent the term - it’s been around for decades, popularized lately by Nick Bostrom’s book Superintelligence.

    The usual framing goes like this: Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) is an AI system with human-level intelligence. Push it beyond human level and you’re talking about Artificial Superintelligence - an AI with cognitive abilities that surpass our own. Nothing mysterious about it.

    Serious question. Did none of these mother fuckers watch The Terminator? Or The Matrix?

    (fun project, reply back with more movies in the same vein of humanity inventing our evolutionary successors)

    Sure. We can all trust Zuckerberg to help improve humanity. He has the credentials! Look how much we have improved in the last 15 years Facebook is a thing. Is not like Meta contributed to Genocide, election interference, the rise of conspiracy theorists, sold our data to the highest bidder etc etc /s

    The thing is, he is referencing specifically a model that recently demonstrated (to its developers at least) the ability to self improve without direct human input. But obviously there are caveats to what that actually means.

    That he is referencing something specific and recent though makes me think he’s being genuine here, he believes what he is saying.

    Obviously, hes almost certainly jumping the gun. Hes demonstrated a lack of critical thinking when it comes to new technological developments. See: all the money he dumped into VR and the Metaverse. (I say this as much as I personally like VR, its not exactly a money maker)

    I see some commenters here pointing out that he is a coder, but he’s probably not coded anything for more than a decade at this point. He is fully immersed in the Silicon Valley koolaid, only he seems to use more public facing optimism about AI compared to other CEOs.

      A jabber bot that slightly improved (through pre training) it’s words per minute when responding but is still just mindlessly jabbering/hallucinating is just as dumb as it was before. I mean random chance is a not insignificant factor with LLMs… But also, it’s a pretty big assumption these days that “scientific” papers mean anything. There’s already been sobmany fraudulent LLM papers, like LLMs “teaching themselves other languages” or LLMs “showing ability to reason” when all of that was just a product of the training data.
