        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.

      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.

    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.

        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 was a psychology major that made a website with PHP. His background in CS is taking a few classes before dropping out.

        At least use Wikipedia before talking nonsense.

        Zuckerberg learned computer programming in his childhood. At about the age of eleven, he created “ZuckNet”, a program that allowed computers at the family home and his father’s dental office to communicate with each other.[10] During Zuckerberg’s high-school years, he worked to build a music player called the Synapse Media Player. The device used machine learning to learn the user’s listening habits, which was posted to Slashdot[11] and received a rating of 3 out of 5 from PC Magazine.[12]

          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

      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.
