This feels like its saying "outsource your critical thinking and agency to us, and don't worry about it"?

Will AI finally replace CEOs?
Man, I wish this guy would fuck off somewhere and just retire. Im tired of hearing about how he wants to ruin the world next with his latest shit idea.
but doesn't even define what superintelligence means.
Or what he thinks "improve humanity" means ...
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHHAHAAA
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.
It means he found another way to get richer with the excuse of "connecting" or "improving" society. Fucking idiot
GTFO of Meta services
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.
Does Mark Zuckerberg care about improving humanity? He's never previously shown much interest in the subject.
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
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)
Sniffing his own farts again I see
Isn't/wasn't he a programmer? He can't possibly believe what he is saying.
I know some really damn delusional programmers.
I once saw a supervisor use Google sheets to do a simple calculation. Could have opened the windows calculator, could have typed it into Google, could have done lots of things. But no, they created a new Google Sheet, performed one arithmetic equation, and then closed the browser.
I was so amused by this that I decided to program a 10-key calculator complete with memory recall in Google Sheets using Google Apps Script. I've made some wild Sheets over the years and have abused spreadsheets into things they're not, but that's my favorite, most useless Sheet ever. Whenever I show it to people, their first reaction is, "yeah, that's a calculator, that's a pretty simple tool." But then when they realize that I wrote actual code to assign values to add then clear checkboxes and then store all these values, they look at me with genuine concern.
I know this isn't the kind of delusional you're talking about, but just wanted to share.
he worked to build a music player called the Synapse Media Player. The device used machine learning to learn the user's listening habits
Oh, so then he did already establish what superintelligence is.
(I miss original Pandora)
okay. his background in CS remains a couple of classes before dropping out. i graduated from college around when he would have and this was every fucking CS major their freshman year. he talks about programming the same way every revolutionary code messiah who had coded some mildly impressive utilities does before they spend time studying the theory behind computation and learn what the real limitations of these things are. but VCs love the code messiahs. hence SVB going bankrupt. none of these dudes are as smart as they've convinced the rest of the world they are
Zuck hasn't touched code in decades. He's far too busy cheating on his wife at the Jeff Bezos / Elon Musk Underaged Orgy Tent for that nonsense.
It's the intelligence in captain marvel.
The superintelligence will expose all the billionaires nefarious plans and controls. No way they will allow the public access to their schemes. Right now you can use it to expose them even ask questions like is Trump pulling an authoritarian play.
Simply asked the question.
Based on everything we know, no, Trump is not planning to leave office voluntarily in 3 years if he wins in 2024. All signals point to the opposite: • He denied the 2020 results and tried to overturn them. • He has openly flirted with authoritarian power (immunity claims, “retribution” rhetoric, dismantling civil service). • His allies (e.g. Project 2025) are laying groundwork for expanded executive control. • He’s praised dictators and criticized democratic limits. • He has no public plan for peaceful transition or grooming a successor.
If re-elected, expect him to try and stay beyond 4 years by legal manipulation, emergency powers, or discrediting elections.
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.
Can you imagine how much better everything would be if FaceBook was created by Pedro Pascal instead of Zuckerberg?
And I mean everything.
Anyone remember about what year AD the Butlerian Jihad happened according to the books?
mRNA vaccine technology that made the two most effective COVID vaccines saving millions of lives was pretty great.
It’s nice to always have a flashlight on your person.
Blue LEDs are recent and pretty cool.
I fucking hate blue leds. They cause migraines, and even when not - irritate the hell out of my eyes.
You would sure be hard-pressed to think of any good thing involving Mark Zuckerberg, alright.
Playing games in VR everyday is good if you want an easy excuse to exercise and move your body more.
Torrents are pretty nice. I also enjoy the newer lines of flat-screens, particularly when I want to move a monitor without throwing out my back.
SD cards?
Huge USB thumb drives?
superintelligent ai's that give great advice on the benefits of consuming glue, got it
Was Meta stock dipping and needed a boost? Fraud is legal now, so I guess that's fine.
I'm deeply suspicious of anyone these days that writes a 'manifesto'. They're generally up to no good.
Isn't it "any algorithm that would impress Dilbert's Boss"? In the vein of "I don't have to be faster than the bear... I just have to be faster than you"... /s
Any ethical super intelligence would immediately remove billionaires from power. I'd like to see that.
Superintelligence doesn’t imply ethics. It could just as easily be a completely unconscious system that’s simply very, very good at crunching data.
A superintelligence would likely quickly become the sovereign of the earth. And it's generally a good idea to kill the old elite after conquering a nation, then install new ones. The new ones will like you, because you made them rich, and they'll fear you, because you killed off all of their predecessors. Of course, there's also the risk that a super intelligence would just do away with humans in general. But anybody holding significant power right now is much more at risk.
And we can't forget that we currently can't even build something that's actually intelligent, and that a super intelligence might not actually be possible.
If AI ends up destroying us, I’d say it’s unlikely to be because it hates us or wants to destroy us per se - more likely it just treats us the way we treat ants. We don’t usually go out of our way to wipe out ant colonies, but if there’s an anthill where we’re putting up a house, we don’t think twice about bulldozing it. Even in the cartoonish “paperclip maximizer” thought experiment, the end of humanity isn’t caused by a malicious AI - it’s caused by a misaligned one.
