    The AI is not remotely ready for this - this is an absolute delusion they are selling.

    "By the way don't do this again" <- as if the AI has the ability to ingest and systemically diffuse this.

    I think Zuckerberg himself is deeply into the Koolaid, and is likely himself unaware of the limits of this tech.

    He's probably surrounded by enablers.

      The AI is not ready for this _yet_, but it will be, and FB wanting getting ahead of the game here is potentially good business. It’s all in the public perception of utility vs fuck-up, and it’s far too early to say Zuck got that wrong, and indicators are he got that right.

        It should be ready in about two more weeks! How many models have a Ph.D level intelligence now? I feel like I’ve been hearing that for about a year at this point.

          I’m guessing you’re not a programmer. If you were, you’d have seen models go from “kinda helpful for programming” to “usable as a daily driver” about 9 months ago, for example.

          “Models aren’t improving incredibly fast” seems a very odd point to be making.

            Yes, it would be absolutely unthinkable that a certain automation architecture might plateau somewhere. They will probably be performing open heart surgery sometime next year.

              I think if you are equating “performing heart surgery” with “a modest drop in already successful inventory management”, we may not have a shared basis in reality from which to converse.
