“It’s about empowering individuals with intelligence tailored to their lives.

that is not a good thing even if it seems to be.

There are a LOT of individuals that have....unhealthy...beliefs & lives. Giving them an AI that enhances those is actually harmful.

The subtext is that Meta doesn’t want to be just another tenant in the AI data center. It wants to build the foundation itself, both in terms of algorithms and the hardware that runs them.

that won't happen.
FB lacks the people & money to do that given they would be playing catchup w/ the actual industry bleeding edge runners.

Missed opportunity: "Meta Intelligence".

I'm half kidding 😀

Can't keep a platform (FB, insta) clean from the obvious investments, trading and other financial scams on which reporting does absolutely zero because they removed any human moderation and replaced it with AI, that flag such advertisements as within their policy.

Just abandon Meta products in general. Best for the world.

Would it not be funny if AI replaced Facebook/Meta with a better product? I am sure it would not be that difficult.

So, here's the thing. A recent study found that use of AI makes people dumber and weakens their brain connectivity. That was not a correlative epidemiological study but an experimental trial using specific cognitive tasks (writing an essay, and memory tasks) alongside electroencephalography that analyzes the participants' brain activation patterns across multiple frequency bands during a task,

Now, with Mark Zuckerberg aiming at creating a "superintelligence" as an extension of an individual's mind, is something that most probably will dumb down entire humanity, making it incapable of taking care of themselves anymore. This reminds me of the "Matrix"-Trilogy, where humans were actually entirely oblivious with regards to all the technology and didn't even know how the machines work.
Another problem is the extreme energy demand for such super-intelligent AI.
And last but not least, even ChatGPT itself predicts that an entity that is more capable than other entities will likely destroy those other entities if it deems them a potential threat to itself.
So, go figure.

My car just got grok integration last night. Now I can voice chat with ai the whole commute. On the plus side, now I can immediately ask all the questions that pop in to my mind that I forget by the time I get to the office. On the down side, I can't fact check, and am more likely to fall in to the trap of believing what it says as true.
Still, I'm looking forward to having a personal ai.

I think that's most individuals, if not all.

The only difference is we aren't aware of them and are keenly aware of them in others.

AI, in it's current form, is a solution looking for a problem.

I saw a quote on reddit that goes...

It's amazing how chatgpt knows everything about subjects I know nothing about, but is wrong like 40% of the time about things I'm an expert on. Not going to think about this any further.
