In a quarterly earnings call that was overwhelmingly about AI and Meta’s plans for it, Zuckerberg said that new, AI-generated feeds are likely to come to Facebook and other Meta platforms. Zuckerberg said he is excited for the “opportunity for AI to help people create content that just makes people’s feed experiences better.” Zuckerberg’s comments were first reported by Fortune.

“I think we’re going to add a whole new category of content, which is AI generated or AI summarized content or kind of existing content pulled together by AI in some way,” he said. “And I think that that’s going to be just very exciting for the—for Facebook and Instagram and maybe Threads or other kind of Feed experiences over time.”

Something which clarified Zuck's behavior in my mind was an interview where he said something along the lines of, "I could sell meta for x amount of dollars, but then I'd just start another company anyways, so I might as well not."

The guy isn't doing what financially makes sense. He's Uber rich and working on whatever projects he thinks are cool. I wish Zuck would stop sucking in all his other ways, but he just doesn't care about whether his ideas are going to succeed or not.

For real. Companies being extra pushy with their product always makes me picture their decision makers saying:

"What do you mean, «we're being too pushy»? Those are customers! They are not human beings, nor deserve to be treated as such! This filth is stupid and un-human-like, it can't even follow simple orders like «consume our product»! Here we don't appeal to its reason, we smear advertisement on its snout until it needs to open the mouth to breath, and then we shove the product down its throat!"

Is this accurate? Probably not. But it does feel like this, specially when they're trying to force a product with limited use cases into everyone's throats, even after plenty potential customers said "eeew no". Such as machine text and image generation.

Funny, the first thing I do when I recognize that something is AI-generated media, I make an effort never to visit that site/channel/feed/whatever ever again.

The metaverse a resounding failure, Facebook has latched on to the AI hype train in hopes of making the company relevant. They're basically put of ideas on how to feed the beast of "forever growth" the markets demand.

They have a slim chance if they keep subsidizing VR headsets to hold a and luceative chunk of the VR market when that actually takes off. VR is genuinely cool enough that enough people will get hooked once they experience a headset on their face with a VR experience that jives with them
