Every change and addition made to Facebook since it first started has been for the worse. This manchild is a monster who’s irresponsibility has literally caused genocides in Africa.

The metaverse a resounding failure, Facebook has latched on to the AI hype train in hopes of making the company relevant. They're basically put of ideas on how to feed the beast of "forever growth" the markets demand.

I think I'm with him on this one. Replacing all the people on social with AI agents would give us back so much free time! And we could even restart socializing for real.
Go on Zuckerberg, give us a Facebook made only of AI agents creating fake pictures of inexistent gatherings and posting them, so other AIs can recommend them and million of other AIs can comment on them!
You are an unsung hero, Zuckerberg, but one day they'll understand and thank you
Genuinely curious how long you could continue getting people to sink advertising dollars into the bot playground. If he played it smart I bet he could get a solid decade or so of people paying to show ads to AIs without telling them all the people are gone. Maybe longer, if he's really smart and actually tells them for real that there's no people in there but that their marketing materials will be incorporated into the AI in/output.
I'm so glad I've gotten off the big tech bandwagon by now...
The goal has always been engagement prisons. Where people never leave the platform. With generated content this must seem like a final step. They don't need to make people to interact with each other in ways that keeps both of them engaged. They don't need to leech content from other sites while preventing people from going to the site. With generated content people will interact with themselves while engaged in completely fabricated content. It's even more dystopian than ever.

Need to get Elon's AI robot to master ju-jit-su and target Zuck.

Please mark that picture nsfw it’s gross as fuck
That's cool, I quit Facebook ages ago.
I setup 2FA on Facebook using one of those USB keys ages ago. I tried to login again recently but it tells me to use an authenticator app which I never configured, and when I try to use the USB key it blinks at me. I know the key works because I use it for other things. When I looked into logging in somehow else it brought up some crazy page telling me I'd have to send my license to Facebook or some such shit. Oh well, guess it's a dead profile now.
a whole new category of content, which is AI generated or AI summarized content or kind of existing content pulled together by AI in some way,
Good to know that they really have thought it through. Reminds me of the kind of user story our project manager writes.
Keep in mind that in quarterly financial statements, any forward-looking promises made are pretty much legally binding so CEOs never give specifics.
Funny, the first thing I do when I recognize that something is AI-generated media, I make an effort never to visit that site/channel/feed/whatever ever again.
Don't you think he looks tired?
Media intentionally uses bad pictures of the people they don't like and vice versa.
I don't think Zuckerberg has any good pictures of himself.
I was quoting Doctor Who ;)
He looked pretty weird in his sweet baby rays video and he was the one putting that out.

This man is a Muppet. He just wants to exploit the people who live in this world and use his services for profits. What a legacy to leave behind...
He won't get me. I deleted Facebook over a decade ago. The writing was all over the walls, everyone...
I know that's probably a generic insult, but he kinda does look like beaker from the Muppets.
muppet in the sense that there is a giant hand up his ass pulling around his insides and making him do/say things the person on the arm wants said/done. but hey what do I know ya know
Yeah I get that, with him it works on two levels.
Soooooooooo……. More ads and bullshit then? I regret not the 5 or so clicks it took to delete my account.

It's probably to nullify the incentive to use external LLMs, thus marking everything generated on the platform by the platform as such and also meaning Zuck can regulate what can actually be generated controlling the flow of LLM-gen content. If you put it that way, it doesn't sound that senseless.
It might also be an attempt to fence in AI-generated content in its own feed, so that doesn't infest everything else as much, which doesn't seem that unreasonable either.
Then stop damaging morale, Zuck.
"And I think that that’s going to be just very exciting for the..."
Plebs? He almost slipped lol
I believe it's "dumb fucks" if history is anything to go by.
Am i mistaken or did he regress to a typical CEO type, from the way he can't put together one single sentence without stumbling over another one?
Statements made in quarterly financial calls are a very particular level of legally binding, so CEOs sound like that because they are terrified of making promises that won’t be kept.
For real. Companies being extra pushy with their product always makes me picture their decision makers saying:
"What do you mean, «we're being too pushy»? Those are customers! They are not human beings, nor deserve to be treated as such! This filth is stupid and un-human-like, it can't even follow simple orders like «consume our product»! Here we don't appeal to its reason, we smear advertisement on its snout until it needs to open the mouth to breath, and then we shove the product down its throat!"
Is this accurate? Probably not. But it does feel like this, specially when they're trying to force a product with limited use cases into everyone's throats, even after plenty potential customers said "eeew no". Such as machine text and image generation.
🤮
Something which clarified Zuck's behavior in my mind was an interview where he said something along the lines of, "I could sell meta for x amount of dollars, but then I'd just start another company anyways, so I might as well not."
The guy isn't doing what financially makes sense. He's Uber rich and working on whatever projects he thinks are cool. I wish Zuck would stop sucking in all his other ways, but he just doesn't care about whether his ideas are going to succeed or not.
Agree. It is unfortunate however, that when being impossibly rich and protected for the rest of your life, you still work on how to squeeze the most out of humanity instead of focusing on something greater.
The rich want to get richer, the strong want to get stronger, collectors want more collectibles, records are meant to be broken, and so on. It’s never been about the destination - it’s about the journey. Having things isn’t fun; getting things is fun.
Obvously Facebook- and Zuckerberg-mocking AI content must continue until morale improves.

I learned today that every AI prompt uses about 16 ounces of clean water. It was really depressing.
It doesn’t use water in the sense that it is consuming it. It “uses” water in the sense that it is temporarily in a datacenter, gets a little hot, and then leaves the datacenter. I don’t even think a lot of datacenters use actual drinking water, instead taking water directly from a river, warming it slightly, and putting it back in said river.
Not to say I like AI, or think it’s a good thing. But this phrase that’s been going around just bugs me, because it’s really misleading. We should be focused on the ridiculous amount of energy it consumes, not the water it temporarily uses.
