Another thing from meta to avoid like the plague

These idiots are just so drunk on their own bullshit.

[-] npdean@lemmy.today 8 points 4 days ago

They are not drunk. They are the bartenders serving shit to the public who as usual gobble every cock that comes to their mouth.

Before ChatGPT kicked off the AI boom in late 2022, you may recall Zuckerberg was convinced virtual reality would take over the world. As of Q1, the company's Reality Labs team has burned some $60 billion trying to make the Metaverse a thing.

Absolutely hilarious.

You think any of this ends with superintelligence for us all? Is that why you're building an underground doomsday bunker and tunnel in Hawaii?

[-] negativenull@piefed.world 19 points 5 days ago

this after he invested how many $billions on the Metaverse?

It's called "vulture capital".

We live in a warlike world run by Billionaires and Pedophiles. There is no forward progress except for those within a bubble. Where is the intelligence or super-intelligence? Words used to have meaning, dammit!

The Register is a great reliable indepth IT/tech news publication I value for the quality of its information, the headlines and general editorial tone drenched in a refreshing icecold sarcasm towards silicon valley is a definite bonus to the experience though.

I personally think the whole concept of AGI is a mirage. In reality, a truly generally intelligent system would almost immediately be superhuman in its capabilities. Even if it were no “smarter” than a human, it could still process information at a vastly higher speed and solve in minutes what would take a team of scientists years or even decades.

And the moment it hits “human level” in coding ability, it starts improving itself - building a slightly better version, which builds an even better version, and so on. I just don’t see any plausible scenario where we create an AI that stays at human-level intelligence. It either stalls far short of that, or it blows right past it.

[-] Saledovil@sh.itjust.works 6 points 4 days ago

The whole exponential improvement hypothesis assumes that the marginal cost of each improvement stays the same. Which is a huge assumption.

[-] Perspectivist@feddit.uk 2 points 4 days ago

Maybe so, but we already have an example of a generally intelligent system that outperforms our current AI models in its cognitive capabilities while using orders of magnitude less power and memory: the human brain. That alone suggests our current brute‑force approach probably won’t be the path a true AGI takes. It’s entirely conceivable that such a system improves through optimization - getting better while using less power, at least in the beginning.

I think some could do with just regular intelligence. Anyways, these guys are all huffing their own farts.

[-] boaratio@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago

Did he finish the metaverse already?

[-] griff@lemmings.world 8 points 5 days ago

Genuine superstupidity

[-] itsgroundhogdayagain@lemmy.ml 6 points 5 days ago

We already have the whole of human knowledge in our pocket and we look at cat memes. AI isn't going to change that.

To be fair, if everyone spent more time looking at cat memes instead of listening to billionaires talk about their big stupid ideas, we’d be in much better shape as a species.

Don’t trust him, my fellow dumb fucks!

[-] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 4 points 4 days ago

AI zuckerborg, tries to justify why he needs to download humanity to understand them.

[-] Doomsider@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

Call me when they replace this asshat with AI.

[-] Grizzlyboy@lemmy.zip 3 points 4 days ago

Now they’ve ruined the meaning of AI, why not super intelligence as well?

[-] Kurious84@lemmings.world 4 points 4 days ago

My ass. They will use it for their billionaire club and filter the real data from the public. Hes a demon so Im Sure this is part of some antichrist system that will doom us all.

[-] tonytins@pawb.social 2 points 5 days ago

I really wish this guy could be kicked out.

[-] DeathsEmbrace@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

I think the Tech CEO are the new hipsters

[-] brendansimms@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago

Love the writing in this article. Fuck Zuck.

[-] MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 1 points 4 days ago

I call it, he will not deliver a superintelligence.
