This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
It will have strong privacy and security options so you can trust it to handle all of your personal content knowing that no one else can access your information, similar to how encryption works on WhatsApp
Judging by how “private” WhatsApp is, no fucking thank you.
or how private the "pervert glasses"are
Everyone will have an exceptionally capable personal agent that understands you, your goals, and everything you care about. Your agent will work 24/7 on your behalf to improve your relationships, health, career, finances, home management, hobbies, and more.
Uh how about NO.
So behind the scenes we have billions of the "agents" communicating with each other... On behalf of whom, again?
So the corporation that owns all of these "agents" will have complete control over "winners and losers" at every single level of existence.
They will control who (age, gender, race, finance, literally anything) gets to see a doctor because they will be controlling the agents of the people seeking appointments, as well as those of the doctors scheduling appointments. Just as one quick example I thought of.
Limited resources? No sweat, the "agents" know you're white so you can at least have some relief knowing that you'll be ahead of the undesirables when it comes to who gets what they need.
Country X decides they want to try to reign in Meta's now complete control? Well looks like all of the "agents" for the companies responsible for food and water delivery logistics fucked up in Country X. What a sad coincidence.
And the "saddest" part is that there's just nobody to blame. After all, it wasn't done by a person, and you can't send an LLM to prison.
Oh well.
Can my agent help me seize the means of production? No? Fuck off Zuck.
Haha no. It would probably rat you out for even suggesting it
Suddenly the "agents" behind the scenes of your local PD are aware that it's something you've ever even thought about. And then you're in an ICE concentration camp. Oops.
This is the thought police that we were warned about. Yet seems like a good portion of people missed that all those stories were meant to be cautionary tales.
Can it help me topple the system?
Oh my finances? So I get recommended the stock of the day? Nice.
"Similarly, individuals should have access to personal superintelligence and should only be subject to restrictions when truly required."
He could tell me my ability to forge unicorns will be restricted and I'd still tell him to fuck off. My computer belongs to me.
That's not deranged, that's Mark Zuckerberg personally announcing his goals, ideas, policy, suggestions and plans.
Read it very carefully, pay full attention and take every single word seriously.
He can be an asshole and still correct. AI must be distributed, not controlled by a small handful of gatekeepers.
He only feels that way because he's now too far behind to have any hope of being one of the gatekeepers.
If Meta had somehow come out ahead in the AI arms race the message would have been "AI tools are too powerful, only megacorps that can afford to jump through regulatory hurdles should be allowed to control it, and we should pause new approvals until we can get congress to agree on something"
Meanwhile AI billionaires fund both sides of congress to keep it deadlocked so they can maintain their stranglehold.
Capitalism loves false scarcity.
AI must be distributed
You get a datacenter and you get a datacenter and you get a datacenter and EVERYONE GETS A DATACENTER!
Imagine how silly it might have sounded to suggest that at one point most people would carry super powerful computers in their pockets, back when it took an entire room to do very basic computing.
The tricorder from Star Trek is well-established as the formative concept for the modern day cell phone. And the idea of a pocket-computer goes all the way back to the calculators developed by TI, designed explicitly against the size of the CEO's shirt pocket to guarantee it would fit.
Miniaturization has been a long time coming. It goes back to clockmakers and glass cutters, trying to turn large scale instruments into portable devices. I don't think it is outrageous to suggest a pocket computer was in the future back in the 1960s/70s.
I do think the speed at which we got here caught people off-guard. But it also set this fantastic expectation for what we'll do next, such that people speculate on faster-than-light travel and AI holograms and robot battle suits and immortality drugs more freely when they can point to "pocket computer" as an already realized possibility.
I wouldn't mind having an AI or "superintelligent" assistant under my own control ... but when I do I don't think it's any company's business what I do with it.
So, yeah, as in the old Microsoft days, let me buy one, perhaps even a pre-build box, at a reasonable price ... but once it's in my house the company loses all say or feedback over it and what I do with it.
Heck if there's to be newer full x.0 versions out it seems reasonable to be paying for those again as well so the AI companies get a steady enough income...
I mean, you can have that today, in some form or other, since that’s just how local AI works.
Totally. It's a bit pricey for anything like a genuine personal assistant right now though. $15k or so to get the basics.
Atm the meta for local inference is unified memory and “routed” local agents (multiple smaller role-specific agents in a trench coat)
The former is standout for cost efficiency (e.g., 4x RDMA 48gb Minis for a 192gb cluster @ $43/gb vs a $45k b200 alone)
The latter is standout for many things, including resource efficiency on smaller machines
That'll surely work to automate simple mental labor or tasks, but I don't think a swarm of minis is going to be able to provide impactful personal and psychosocial analysis of your life.
There is no reason to assume AI is either desirable or sustainable like Zuck does.
Thats AI psychosis right there.
his android brain cant handle the slop.
I think the official adopted is literally Cyberpsychosis, choom.
Im not reading all that. Grok, summarize this shit in 2 bullet points.
Grok: I can't access that article. Which Teen USA contestant did you want me to nudify for you?
All of them, obviously.
You've been re-added to the list
I wasn’t on the other list. Can I be on this one instead? I don’t think it’s as cool though.
He just wants to drive down the premium charge to use frontier models to destroy anthropoic and OAI. Then his support for open models will dry up. But in the meanwhile, let them fight. Having powerful local AI under my own control sounds great.
Thanks for archiving it. A 6,500 manifesto of empty promises while he lays off thousands of people in his own company. Diabolical and absolute horrific, but please Mark tell us how you are going to make a better society with your dreams and aspirations of Artificial Super Intelligence, when we all know you are just wanting to enslave humanity for profit margins.
Zuck uses Superintelligence and AI interchangeably like he doesn't understand the difference between them. Everything he says is a neat idea in a vacuum but disconnected from reality and with no path to this idea except dreaming.
He also imagines a world with AGI while trying to sell the worst chatbot on the market. Absolute clown show.
Everything he says is a neat idea in a vacuum
I gotta disagree. Even in a vacuum, his ideas manage to suck.
He also imagines a world with AGI while trying to sell the worst chatbot on the market.
That's the trick. He wants people to believe fiction and reality are the same, so they keep giving him money and attention.
Isn't Grok the worst?
All I'm hearing is, "You get a data center! You get a data center!"
I just want universal healthcare for all, is that so hard?
Even for Nazis?
Look into how Nazis were and still are turned...things like universal healthcare make it harder to convince a populace to commit or ignore atrocities.
Sigh, I was trying to set you up for a line like "yes, and I want them to NEED IT!"
"Okay, evil asshole" ~ Everyone on Earth
Zuck keeps seeing Elon Musk raise the bar on "World's Dumbest Billionaire" and won't be satisfied until he clears it.
Possibly the most disturbing part is that he reproduced.
Plenty of bad people do, and they rarely make the news. Zuck is unique in having billions of dollars. The problem is his wealth.
