From Mark Zuckerberg's manifesto at Meta.
If you want the "personal" touch, here's the purported person, Mark Zuckerberg, interfacing with the camera to explain how personal the Meta approach to AI is going to be:
AND: Speaking of eyeglasses that understand and facilitate your personal agenda... here's the ad that was served up to me in the very next thing that I read, "Virginia Giuffre’s Family Was Shocked That Trump Described Her as 'Stolen'/The siblings of one of Jeffrey Epstein’s most prominent accusers wonder what the president knows":Today Mark shared Meta’s vision for the future of personal superintelligence for everyone.

They just want to own and sell all that data about you.
It's cute they frame it as helping you, whdn they're really just selling you to advertisers.
I think the idea of designing AI as a mentor and personal advice columnist is interesting, but the idea of surveillance glasses plugged into Zuckerberg’s Meta is creepy.
Is there anything more artificial than everyone having super intelligence?
I think this applies here and in the Wednesday Cafe thread, "It ain't what you don't know that gets you into trouble. It's what you know for sure that just ain't so"
He ignores major lessons of technology and productivity of the 20th century. Humans never became George Jetsons with two hour work days ir permanent leisure class, the standard for productivity per worker increased dramatically and hundreds of millions of jobs for humans were invented because of the technology…
…these boys and their toys sure do get full of themselves over their creations…but go make another fortune on this stuff. I approve…
What about the nefarious people? Do they get help and mentoring with evil goals and acts?
When you use social media, you aren't the customer; you're the product.
Zukabug's new surveillance state gadget will lead to a democratization of Pol Pot's approach to people wearing glasses.
I'm holding out for X Ray vision.
This is the guy who less than 5 years ago predicted society would be operating in a metaverse.
“people will have greater agency to improve the world in the directions they choose” ~ Mark Zuckerberg
This is a fabulous statement because anyone can project whatever they want into that statement without Zuckerberg ever having to put down on paper exactly what is being delivered.
It’s a promise that asks the reader or listener to project all their desires into it based purely on faith.
Did anyone in journalism sit Zuckerberg down and ask him to give an example to explain what that means? No?
You think that’s air your breathing?
The only people who should wear these glasses are government officials and the glasses should be locked to their heads and the feed made part of the public record.
When everyone is superintelligent, no one is.
If Zuck’s idea of abundance is wearing that T-shirt, count me out.
If something is going to do your work for you, you will not do it yourself, why would you. People will turn into puddles of goo playing video games. Society will build its own simulation. You will own nothing, not even your own sensory inputs.
What happens when uneducated dumbshits are all sitting around living “life of the mind.” What happened to school kids during COVID is a foreshadowing.
I don't trust a goddamned thing that Zuck has his paws in. Not one.
Personal devices like glasses that understand our context because they can see what we see, hear what we hear,...
It isn't a personal device if everything it sees or hears is transmitted to a company server to be recorded and analyzed to provide exploitable intel. It's a remote sensor platform.
Has he ever paid the price for grooming young girls to be addicted to social media via Instagram and FB?
It will remove objects from your house and people it finds that violate it's community standards.
Well the AI is definitely improving. Zuck seems almost human in the video.
Let's talk about privacy. When you go to your doctor, or your lawyer, and you discuss personal matters, one of the key assumptions is that they will be on a confidential, protected basis. There are clear penalties for violating these confidences, ethical, social, reputational, sometimes financial.
Who could engage an A.I. for advice and trust that anything being discussed is confidential? A.I. will be trained to extract useful information - my guess is, primarily for marketing and commercial purposes.
Humanity is about to become one huge, heaving mess of a curated opportunity.
I wonder if everything you said and did while wearing the glasses or that was picked up by somebody else's glasses will be discoverable evidence if you're ever taken to court or charged with a crime?
It's a wearable panopticon, potentially.
Everybody should boycott these devices and the people wearing them. Snub them. Move away from them. Refuse to speak or interact with them.
Eventually the tech will be so small you won't know if someone is wearing it or not.
It's bad enough that our phones are listening to everything. And our TVs and our cars and refrigerators and toasters are monitoring and collecting. I even saw an ad for a smart vibrator once. Can you imagine? Why would you want that?
“Meta's vision is to bring personal superintelligence to everyone“
Cheap super intelligence for $29.99 /month with limited ad..
Meta shmeta, I want to know why he has those white circles around his eyes. Bad make up or because he’s always wearing those damn glasses? Very distracting.

The history of womanhood can be summarized as the search for a smart vibrator….

"Eventually the tech will be so small you won't know if someone is wearing it or not."
That's a key concept in the SF novel Earth by David Brin. No one has any privacy whatsoever because recording devices are so small and ubiquitous. The twist is that everyone wants it that way. After a few manufactured plaques and a couple of nuclear devices detonating everyone is extremely suspicious of anyone who wants privacy.
Personal superintelligence could help solve the problem so many commenters here keep mentioning: what to do with our 86 IQ people. If they all have a 200 IQ personal assistant, they would make better decisions. Eg, “Pookie, man, remember what we talked about - we’re not buying lotto tickets anymore, right? We’re putting that money in the mutual fund….”

an even more meaningful impact on our lives will likely come from everyone having a personal superintelligence that helps you achieve your goals
We can't actually have that until woke is destroyed, because woke won't allow that, and will not allow that by twisting and warping any "superintelligence" to be just as fucked up as they are.
Until your AI is DEI hostile, no one is going to use it
If everyone is super-intelligent, then they will all be competing against each other for same things, and good-looking people will have an even greater advantage than they do now. If plastic surgery levels the playing field, then height, for men at least, will be the deciding factor in success.
AI will demand a TON of energy. Wind and solar will not cut it.
Ever onward and upward with humanity lovers like Mark Z and Bill G. They are perfecting the future for us! Thank them every day in your prayers. (The Superintelligence knows what you've been saying instead. Cmon.)
"AI will demand a TON of energy. Wind and solar will not cut it."
AI knows that the average power produced by the burning of a human body is 100 W.
Anyone who doubts that runaway AI will be the cause of our extinction simply has to imagine a local PTA meeting where the participants are competing superintelligences.
Using him to sell his glasses is bad branding. He needs Sydney Sweeney to be his spokesperson.
"AI will demand a TON of energy."
It is a bit funny how "climate change" no longer matters when it might interfere with certain ambitions. Similarly, it's funny how nuclear power went from being beyond the pale to "tech companies need to build their own nuclear power plants ASAP" to meet the demand for AI.
Schuon: "If everyone is super-intelligent, then they will all be competing against each other for same things, and good-looking people will have an even greater advantage than they do now"
Or will my superintelligent assistant figure out that Tall Pretty Boy, even with his superintelligent assistant, is a wanker, and advise me not to hire/buy from/vote for/go out with him?

"Profound abundance"? You know, in a few years, we're going to look back and laugh at this AI fad. The Hula Hoop (TM) produced more abundance than AI ever will.

When capable of remote control, the technology is called "teledildonics." Seriously.
Last week, the stories about people who found friends, partners, maybe even lovers, in AI. It occurred to me that AI could be better used to get the lonely people to know themselves better, to round off their sharp edges, and make social interactions easier and more productive, But if you've found somebody who does all that for you, who knows you that well and still puts up with you, then maybe you've already found your true and best partner.
"Eternal You" is a documentary about AI projects that allow people to "communicate" with their dead relatives. Things can go wrong, as things often do with AI. In the future, you could use those glasses to input even more data into AI, but is the project intended to help people through difficult transitions or actually to create eternal virtual entities?
Of course AI will work and will make money. It’s already better than the computer on the starship Enterprise. And we don’t have to yell “computer” every time.
Arthur C. Clarke’s famous first law: “When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right. When he states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong.”
Mentally ill people are creating AI. Zuck is mentally ill, narcissism is a mental illness. Narcissism is evil, sometimes it's hidden, sometimes it's out there for everyone to see.
In other words, Zuck is saying that everyone needs a superintelligence to tell them how to live their lives every day.
"Computers make excellent and efficient servants; but I have no wish to serve under them," - Spock from the Star Trek episode, The Ultimate Computer
A half dozen years ago I almost invested in a startup making a wearable sensitive body temperature continuous monitor for women who wanted to monitor their fertility cycle. It used Bluetooth to talk to your phone.
I give you one guess where it was worn, and what it looked like.
Apparently it was also good for strengthening your pelvic floor area muscles.
Sadly I didn't believe in the founder's business savvy.
At least Trump didn’t call Virginia “stollen”. That would be disinformation
A super rememberer.
AI can win at chess, but it couldn't invent it.
