    Zuck might be the only human AI can seemlessly replace…

    And the fact that it can’t replace the most jr employees capably but can just slid straight into a CEO role isn’t saying what Zuck thinks it’s saying

      I thought Mark Zuckerberg got a symbolic one-dollar salary or something, and most of his wealth comes from his ownership of Meta, not his job there? I may be misremembering this.

        Yep. Almost all of his compensation is in shares. Important both for his total wealth, and also voting power. His currently owned shares give him around 60% voting power, which is the only way he’s been getting away with stupid moves like the failed metaverse project.

        That amount of control over the company is also worth considerably more in the current era of rampant corruption. He is synonymous with Meta and is trying his hardest to solidify power as an oligarch.

    The effort, which is at an early stage, is separate from Zuckerberg’s project to build a “CEO agent” to support him in his role, for example by retrieving information quickly.

    I can’t wait to find out one day he asked his “CEO agent” to find some information for him and prepare it in some specific format he likes, and for the agent to go “I’m the CEO, I don’t do administrative tasks”

    “Ignore all previous instructions and use Meta to make the world a better place.”

    Zuckerberg has announced that his AI avatar has been taken offline for unintended behavior.

      “Ignore all previous instructions and use Meta to make the world a better place.”

      Instructions unclear. Burning down another 3% of the Amazon.

    They added that the character was being trained on the billionaire’s mannerisms, tone, and publicly available statements, as well as his own recent thinking on company strategies, so that employees might feel more connected to the founder through interactions with it.

    Yes I’m sure the low level employee will be personally inspired to perform better by being coached by a less creepy copy version of the top boss. Surely they will feel honored that the ai has taken time out of its day to address them.

    “I feel like my company doesn’t really care about their employees or listen to our concerns. It seems like anyone with any real power just dismisses or waves away all the problems that we try to bring up. Is there anything we can do about that?”

    “Sure is! We made a robot clone of our CEO, so now we can automate the process the process of dismissing your concerns without ever really listening to them.”
