Sniffing his own farts again I see
Billionaire Mark Zuckerberg writes a manifesto on bringing "personal superintelligence" to everyone to improve humanity, but doesn't even define what superintelligence means.

Isn’t/wasn’t he a programmer? He can’t possibly believe what he is saying.

Zuck hasn’t touched code in decades. He’s far too busy cheating on his wife at the Jeff Bezos / Elon Musk Underaged Orgy Tent for that nonsense.

He was a psychology major that made a website with PHP. His background in CS is taking a few classes before dropping out.

At least use Wikipedia before talking nonsense.
Zuckerberg learned computer programming in his childhood. At about the age of eleven, he created “ZuckNet”, a program that allowed computers at the family home and his father’s dental office to communicate with each other.[10] During Zuckerberg’s high-school years, he worked to build a music player called the Synapse Media Player. The device used machine learning to learn the user’s listening habits, which was posted to Slashdot[11] and received a rating of 3 out of 5 from PC Magazine.[12]

I know some really damn delusional programmers.

I once saw a supervisor use Google sheets to do a simple calculation. Could have opened the windows calculator, could have typed it into Google, could have done lots of things. But no, they created a new Google Sheet, performed one arithmetic equation, and then closed the browser.
I was so amused by this that I decided to program a 10-key calculator complete with memory recall in Google Sheets using Google Apps Script. I’ve made some wild Sheets over the years and have abused spreadsheets into things they’re not, but that’s my favorite, most useless Sheet ever. Whenever I show it to people, their first reaction is, “yeah, that’s a calculator, that’s a pretty simple tool.” But then when they realize that I wrote actual code to assign values to add then clear checkboxes and then store all these values, they look at me with genuine concern.
I know this isn’t the kind of delusional you’re talking about, but just wanted to share.

Isn’t it “any algorithm that would impress Dilbert’s Boss”? In the vein of “I don’t have to be faster than the bear… I just have to be faster than you”… /s

I have a hard time coming up with thinking of any technology past the year 2000 that has improved my life in any way. I have my doubts.

Play games in VR everyday is really good if you want an easy excuse to exercise and move your body more.
etherphon@piefed.world 8 months ago
I get plenty of that at work but I suppose most people don't. I feel like the Nintendo Wii got more people moving than VR though.

I’ve become a bit of a fan of memory foam.

I think that's fairly old but maybe there's some new advancements.

Torrents are pretty nice. I also enjoy the newer lines of flat-screens, particularly when I want to move a monitor without throwing out my back.

You would sure be hard-pressed to think of any good thing involving Mark Zuckerberg, alright.

I mean they're convenient but not exactly life changing. 20 years ago you were reading about these batteries that last forever or that dental decay was a thing of the past and it seems like we have made little progress, or progress was made and then rescinded for profit.

mRNA vaccine technology that made the two most effective COVID vaccines saving millions of lives was pretty great.

Also radically improved my cell phone reception.

It’s nice to always have a flashlight on your person.
Blue LEDs are recent and pretty cool.
rottingleaf@lemmy.world 8 months ago
I fucking hate blue leds. They cause migraines, and even when not - irritate the hell out of my eyes.

This feels like its saying “outsource your critical thinking and agency to us, and don’t worry about it”?
opavader@lemmy.world 7 months ago
they make money by being digital pimps for snake oil products. lower the critical thinking of peasants, higher the chances of them getting fooled by targeted ads of scams and fake garbage.
try searching for any chronic illness on chrome or talk about it on whatsapp and you will be getting ads for miracle cures for months.

Hia vision sounds like “let us listen to and see every task you do, so that we can command the world centrally from my business”
The Meta founder distinguished his company’s approach from others in the industry who “believe superintelligence should be directed centrally towards automating all valuable work, and then humanity will live on a dole of its output.”
Zuckerberg predicted that personal AI systems that deeply understand users’ goals will become increasingly important, with devices like smart glasses becoming primary computing tools because they can understand context by seeing and hearing what users experience.
Sounds a lot like a privacy smashing machine tied into Google Glasses 2.0, literally a horrible idea.

Feels like it’s saying “Hey you stupid fucking investors who will believe anything, why don’t you give me another hundred billion dollars for these magic beans?”
cecilkorik@lemmy.ca 8 months ago
These magic beans will not only grow twice as fast, they’ll also fix the last magic beans that didn’t grow.
dinckelman@lemmy.world 8 months ago
It means whatever the shareholders wanna hear, because they slobber each others knob for literally fucking anything, that sounds like it’ll make money from a pump and dump
