Mark Zuckerberg Is Building an AI Agent to Help Him Be CEO
wsj.comWhen your whole job is "giving notes", being flattered, and imagining your workers as cogs, prompting a chatbot probably does feel like "work."
And lobbying to implement age verification.
Assuming age verification should be implemented, do you think the application layer is the right place to do that, or would the OS layer make more sense?
The parental layer is the right place to do that.
That's great. Any serious proposals?
I wouldn't tell you how to parent your children, and all I ask is the same consideration in return.
I just see it as an unnecessary hill to die on. Its not possible to win on those conditions so why spend energy on a failed outcome? I wish those who shared the sentiment found an effective method to achieve their goals, but online message board activism doesn't pass the sniff test.
To me it's a public health issue and shares the same, "you can do what you want, but I will not be forced into participating," that resulted in the invention of chin diapers. To an outsider both look like pathological demand avoidance[1].

It seems like the example you give points to undesirable consequences as a direct result of government intervention. Is your example meant to be a point against any sort of legislation regarding age verification?
So what’s your suggestion?
Surely you don’t support ID gating the Internet?
How old are you?
It's a general principle but too simplistic to contribute to a solution.
I believe I should prevent you from starving, willfully or negligently harming (in a serious way), or denying significant education or medical care to your childern; I believe you shouldn't be able to take your children into some adult places like strip clubs.
The strip clubs also have an obligation to keep out your children and need a method to do so, in this case the online 'strip clubs'.
The question is, given other priorities such as privacy, what is the best method? I think it's parental tools in OSes, including the ability to setup accounts for minors.
You missed the killer feature, even more diffusion of responsibility.
He needs one to help with ethics, not administration
Not a bad idea for anyone, if we could find on LLM with reliable and sophistaced ethical output.
How about a Gadfly LLM, 'Socretes'. An 'evil demon' LLM called Descartes?
If Asimov designed it he wouldn't be that interested.
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.
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.
> Their only original idea was Metaverse
surely you must be joking.
Can you name some companies whose products are built on original ideas?
To be fair, General Motors is built off of the idea of the wheel, which I believe is an original idea
I'm not so sure, their 'original' wheel was just a refinement to the round boulders that already existed on the planet and the mechanical advantages naturally existing in that form.
By that logic, the Taggart Baking Co. should have been one of the richest companies ever, since everyone compares their product to it as the greatest thing since.
Chillicothe Baking Company.

Are you equating intelligence with networth? :-)
I think it's more like this https://www.amazon.com/Accidental-Billionaires-Founding-Face...
IQ is highly correlated with both income and wealth so it seems like a fair comment. Of course not all billionaires have a high IQ, but far more billionaires do than your average person.
Not in the way you're implying. There's an IQ threshold that correlates somewhat with income, but correlated gains drop (kind of vanish) after it, and that threshold is pretty low; it might be 100.
Nothing you just said disproves anything I claimed. Billionaires tend to have significantly higher IQ than average. The same is true for high income people.
I think it is in fact not the case that high income people generally have significantly higher IQ than average. As for billionaires: when was the last billionaire IQ survey done?

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S01602...
Funny, neither of these decades-old papers includes citations to the billionaire IQ survey you're quoting. :)
Huh? The very first study studied billionaires. A simple Ctrl+F would've identified this.
I think you missed my point.
survivorship bias.
there is absolutely nothing stopping a poor child in sierra leone from becoming the next einstein, outside of access to things that should be considered mandatory for human life.
Blank slate theory has been thoroughly discredited so many times I'm not sure why I'm even responding, but this is complete nonsense. If you're born with 62 IQ like the average Sierra Leone citizen, no amount of education will get you to 120. It's literally not possible.
According to research, a full education can add ~15 IQ points.
So someone from Sierra Leone who's average and receives a full education can expect to have around 77 IQ, which means severe issues with reading comprehension, math beyond simple arithmetic and following multi-step instructions.
so geographical region of birth dictates intelligence? how intriguing.
i would like to know if that child was fed well, provided with shelter and given a good education -- would it still be, in your words, "not possible" for them to break even 100IQ?
I didn't claim that, this appears to be a strawman. I specifically stated average IQ, and yes, necessarily your region of birth does inform your average IQ.
Environmental and educational impacts on IQ are very minimal. Someone with an average Sierra Leone IQ is not becoming a genius after world-class education and the best environment possible. They'll be measurably improved, but not by 50 IQ points.
your region of birth does inform your average IQ.
I doubt you can demonstrate this empirically, because there is no such thing as a regional survey of average IQ.
I'm going to go out on a limb and say you have to be above average intelligence to start a business and become a billionaire from it
ChatGPT, how do I appear more human?
The CEO use case probably has a similar boundary somewhere. Agent handles scheduling and summarization, but should it decide who gets promoted?
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.
I wish the new co-CEO convinces him AI-psychosis-style that Meta really, really needs to go back to focusing on the metaverse.
Looking forward to the announcement.
Should I spend $70B on something no one wants?
See what the AI says.
pulls string out of conch shell
"Try asking again later"
He had better spend $250k worth of tokens on it
Hypothesis is he will blame his recent poor decisions on the probabilistic AI agent he was using (or psychosis).
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 .
I think models from one year ago with proper harness should be easily beating humans at this task on average. Human CEOs decisions are worse than random chance.
Oh that’s what they mean by “subagents”, now I get it.
But: Will it also let him win at Settlers of Catan?
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
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...
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?
he should try installing movie maker
Sources familiar with the matter told the WSJ that unlike Horizon Worlds, this idea has legs. /s
