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

    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.

    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

    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.

  • The guy that has the worst business ethics wants to use a product to "improve humanity." Remember the last time he said that? He sure did do a good job of unifying and connecting everyone in a healthy way. I love how he's so confident he can do it again.

    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

    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.

    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

    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.

    I'm sorry, what happened to the metaverse Zuck?

  • source
  • [–] 6 points 1 year ago* (1 child)

    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.

    Any ethical super intelligence would immediately remove billionaires from power. I'd like to see that.

    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.
