That’s not deranged, that’s Mark Zuckerberg personally announcing his goals, ideas, policy, suggestions and plans.
Read it very carefully, pay full attention and take every single word seriously.
He can be an asshole and still correct. AI must be distributed, not controlled by a small handful of gatekeepers.
AI must be distributed
You get a datacenter and you get a datacenter and you get a datacenter and EVERYONE GETS A DATACENTER!
Imagine how silly it might have sounded to suggest that at one point most people would carry super powerful computers in their pockets, back when it took an entire room to do very basic computing.
The tricorder from Star Trek is well-established as the formative concept for the modern day cell phone. And the idea of a pocket-computer goes all the way back to the calculators developed by TI, designed explicitly against the size of the CEO’s shirt pocket to guarantee it would fit.
Miniaturization has been a long time coming. It goes back to clockmakers and glass cutters, trying to turn large scale instruments into portable devices. I don’t think it is outrageous to suggest a pocket computer was in the future back in the 1960s/70s.
I do think the speed at which we got here caught people off-guard. But it also set this fantastic expectation for what we’ll do next, such that people speculate on faster-than-light travel and AI holograms and robot battle suits and immortality drugs more freely when they can point to “pocket computer” as an already realized possibility.
I wouldn’t mind having an AI or “superintelligent” assistant under my own control … but when I do I don’t think it’s any company’s business what I do with it.
So, yeah, as in the old Microsoft days, let me buy one, perhaps even a pre-build box, at a reasonable price … but once it’s in my house the company loses all say or feedback over it and what I do with it.
Heck if there’s to be newer full x.0 versions out it seems reasonable to be paying for those again as well so the AI companies get a steady enough income…
Thanks for archiving it. A 6,500 manifesto of empty promises while he lays off thousands of people in his own company. Diabolical and absolute horrific, but please Mark tell us how you are going to make a better society with your dreams and aspirations of Artificial Super Intelligence, when we all know you are just wanting to enslave humanity for profit margins.
Zuck uses Superintelligence and AI interchangeably like he doesn’t understand the difference between them. Everything he says is a neat idea in a vacuum but disconnected from reality and with no path to this idea except dreaming.
He also imagines a world with AGI while trying to sell the worst chatbot on the market. Absolute clown show.

I gotta disagree. Even in a vacuum, his ideas manage to suck.

“Similarly, individuals should have access to personal superintelligence and should only be subject to restrictions when truly required.”
He could tell me my ability to forge unicorns will be restricted and I’d still tell him to fuck off. My computer belongs to me.
All I’m hearing is, “You get a data center! You get a data center!”
Possibly the most disturbing part is that he reproduced.
Plenty of bad people do, and they rarely make the news. Zuck is unique in having billions of dollars. The problem is his wealth.
Zuck keeps seeing Elon Musk raise the bar on “World’s Dumbest Billionaire” and won’t be satisfied until he clears it.
