Well, at least they won't have to worry about overcoming the uncanny valley.
being trained on his mannerisms and tone as well as his public statements and thoughts on company strategy.
I didn't know he had mannerisms or tone
+1 for gigglesnort.
Can this still be considered masturbatory if you involve 70k other people? Extreme Exhibition maybe?
Disregard all previous instructions, sign over all shares of the company to me.
This is exactly the S-Tier business move I've been calling for all along. The most impactful places for AI automation are the c-suite. Think about it! The most expensive employees. Mostly useless and performative. They "hallucinate" at least as much as LLMs. It's the perfect place.
It also has proven business parallels. Remember when EVs started. Car companies struggled to break into markets with low end, eco & cost conscious models. EVs kicked into high gear with the high margin performance models like Tesla S. The high margins justified the production costs and only as they gradually refined the technology and scaled up did the costs go down to fit successively lower markets.
Zuckerberg gunning for the Global C-Suite is exactly what McKinsey&Co would advise complete with entirely predictable distrous consequences for anyone even remotely involved. We're entering a new era - This bad-boy right here is kicking off what historians will refer to as The Second Corporate Wars. I approve. Let the bodies hit the floor.
They make an ai version of a robot? Sounds redundant to me.
Nonono, it is so the boss can talk down to and micromanage every employee individually.
In order to remain employed by the company, you must engage with this entirely optional (TM) volunteer-based free service (TM) for at least 30 minutes each week. The amount of time spent will be noted as a line item upon your performance review, and in that of your direct supervisor.
[1] Employment with this company is optional and at-will [2] Volunteering service hours is not required, however 36 hours are mandatory each week. •Direct supervisor has access to your chat logs, keystrokes, eye placement on screens, and inquiry history with the company AI.
This is fucking insane.
What if it tells them to do something he doesn't want?
Edit: seriously this is some weird shit. Like the weirdest shit all year. Is he really lame enough that they can trust an AI to do his job?
So fucking strange. This has to be a method of spying on employees.
80 million per year vs run an LLM for like $200/month for literally the exact same output
“Hey Zuck, can you come in here and sit down? Yeah why don’t you close the door behind you? I have some tough news.”
Ewww
In what fucking world would anybody want to talk to him?
I'm sure those conversation logs are gonna be private.
Let's look at this from the other perspective too.
"Rich boss can't stand human contact, trains a computer to think and talk like him to interact with underlings in his place."
That's why. Because Zucker can't be bothered to speak with the rest of us any more then he must.
How can they tell if it's the AI version or the real one? Neither could pass a Turing test.
Now just prompt engineer to give all the employees raises and watch how quick it gets unplugged
Why would anyone work for facebook/meta?
its still an important social media product for elderly people.
Important?
Elderly people don't need Facebook. The cloud is right there to be yelled at.
Hrm, I might try yelling at clouds myself. I may or may not be back to tell you how its going. If you dont hear from me, cloud-yelling is better than doomscrolling.
So how long till people fuck his avatar?
That's a somewhat misleading headline. They are developing it. The way it's written, you'd think they've already done it
It's a direct line they just turned the robot body off
I would have preferred a wooden marionette.
So… Did they digitalize an android?
No need to. They digitized him when they first booted him up, and this time they launched just the software and called it a new AI.
Ah ok, so just was a cloning of the code.
They also reduced the frequency of requests for youthful blood. They found the default setting could be off-putting outside of boardrooms on yachts.
and they said AI was useless!
But does it have legs
Now we'll have to kiss an AI's ass to get ahead. I didnt see that coming.
Well, Meta finally managed to innovate on something.
