When your whole job is "giving notes", being flattered, and imagining your workers as cogs, prompting a chatbot probably does feel like "work."

Now AI can be just like Zuck and come up with 0 original ideas that have any value. Facebook copied MySpace and bought Instagram (with FB Camera losing to them). Their only original idea was Metaverse - an FoA (flop-on-arrival). They even dropped the ball on AI, something they should have had a massive advantage at with their ad profiles and social media empire.

Now that's a project that i support, after the fiasco of metaverse. If there could be a CEO-as-AI-service , we will not have to put up with all their BS content .

Literally any modern LLM + Kagi Translate to LinkedIn would immediately get you to above average CEO level. His courage to go the remaining way is commendable.

Sources familiar with the matter told the WSJ that unlike Horizon Worlds, this idea has legs. /s

Should I spend $70B on something no one wants? See what the AI says.

He needs one to help with ethics, not administration

metalman

maybe someone can hack his AI and get it to sweet talk him into the nessesity of "joining" his other AI self in order to become god

ChatGPT, how do I appear more human?

Oh that’s what they mean by “subagents”, now I get it.

What happens when Zuck has spent 3 months in deep conversation, deep deep mental communion, with his "AI" and returns from the metaphorical mountain top with a new holy book, the kind that we've seen folks link to several times. Instant new cult?

Lapsa

he should try installing movie maker

You know what? Good. Any one-shotted CEO who thinks this is the future and we MUST adopt it or else, should be first in line. Before anyone else in the org.

He had better spend $250k worth of tokens on it

rooftopzen

Hypothesis is he will blame his recent poor decisions on the probabilistic AI agent he was using (or psychosis).

Given the history of ordinary employees getting fired for secretly using AI to do some/most of their job, can we at least expect that the shareholders will renegotiate Zuck's compensation significantly downwards? Given he won't actually be CEO-ing so much? https://www.businessinsider.com/young-lawyer-fired-using-cha...
