The Meta vision of AI — hologram Reelslop and AI friends keeping you company while you eat breakfast alone — is so bleak I almost can’t believe they’re saying it out loud.

"Maybe in the future, my AI girlfriend is on the other side of the screen or something." Mark Zuckerberg responds to Dwarkesh's fears of getting reward-hacked by AR.

Good question

Years ago, when @parmy was at WSJ and I was at Meta, she asked a product manager from the content integrity team if he thought the company was doing enough on harmful content. He replied that he was so sure of it, that he'd allow his teenage daughter to use the platform. I…

Imo AGI is not what’s concerning. It’s the nonstop increase in capabilities that’s alarming. How is alignment possible when you look at what’s happening in the world today? The world can’t even align itself on issues. You think companies can? Whose values will it prioritize?

Just had a fascinating lunch with a 22-year-old Stanford grad. Smart kid. Perfect resume. Something felt off though. He kept pausing mid-sentence, searching for words. Not complex words - basic ones. Like his brain was buffering. Finally asked if he was okay. His response…

Questions for anyone in the UK with kids under 13 who use TikTok: Have they been booted off the platform? How are they reacting? TikTok is apparently removing under-13's from the app to comply with the UK's Online Safety Act and I'd love to hear how that's working out for kids…

this is wild because Siri is literally a teenager; Apple had over a decade to make it decent before everyone else blew past it with conversational AI. Apple is working on a new, more conversational version of Siri to catch up to other AI assistants bloomberg.com/news/articles/…


Hilarious how blaming “the other” for America’s ills really is becoming this guy’s jam.
