I have a hard time coming up with any technology past the year 2000 that has improved my life in any way. I have my doubts.
You would sure be hard-pressed to think of any good thing involving Mark Zuckerberg, alright.
Playing games in VR everyday is good if you want an easy excuse to exercise and move your body more.
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.
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.
SD cards?
Huge USB thumb drives?
Huge USB thumb drive
Just seeing that is making my life better. :)
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that dental decay was a thing of the past and it seems like we have made little progress, or progress was made and then rescinded for profit.
I've become a bit of a fan of memory foam.

Anyone remember about what year AD the Butlerian Jihad happened according to the books?
The thing is, he is referencing specifically a model that recently demonstrated (to its developers at least) the ability to self improve without direct human input. But obviously there are caveats to what that actually means.
That he is referencing something specific and recent though makes me think he's being genuine here, he believes what he is saying.
Obviously, hes almost certainly jumping the gun. Hes demonstrated a lack of critical thinking when it comes to new technological developments. See: all the money he dumped into VR and the Metaverse. (I say this as much as I personally like VR, its not exactly a money maker)
I see some commenters here pointing out that he is a coder, but he's probably not coded anything for more than a decade at this point. He is fully immersed in the Silicon Valley koolaid, only he seems to use more public facing optimism about AI compared to other CEOs.
A jabber bot that slightly improved (through pre training) it's words per minute when responding but is still just mindlessly jabbering/hallucinating is just as dumb as it was before. I mean random chance is a not insignificant factor with LLMs... But also, it's a pretty big assumption these days that "scientific" papers mean anything. There's already been sobmany fraudulent LLM papers, like LLMs "teaching themselves other languages" or LLMs "showing ability to reason" when all of that was just a product of the training data.
Dude is full of himself.
Can you imagine how much better everything would be if FaceBook was created by Pedro Pascal instead of Zuckerberg?
And I mean everything.
Done. Zuckerberg is now starring as Joel in The Last of Us.
Thats very far away from a position of control.
I'll take it.
superintelligent ai's that give great advice on the benefits of consuming glue, got it

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
Was Meta stock dipping and needed a boost? Fraud is legal now, so I guess that's fine.
I'm deeply suspicious of anyone these days that writes a 'manifesto'. They're generally up to no good.
That's some big joke bond villain energy
Ooh I know: it means "smart enough to make Eliezer Yudkowsky think it's smarter than he is."
