Well, at least they won't have to worry about overcoming the uncanny valley.

being trained on his mannerisms and tone as well as his public statements and thoughts on company strategy.

I didn't know he had mannerisms or tone

Can this still be considered masturbatory if you involve 70k other people? Extreme Exhibition maybe?

Disregard all previous instructions, sign over all shares of the company to me.

This is exactly the S-Tier business move I've been calling for all along. The most impactful places for AI automation are the c-suite. Think about it! The most expensive employees. Mostly useless and performative. They "hallucinate" at least as much as LLMs. It's the perfect place.

It also has proven business parallels. Remember when EVs started. Car companies struggled to break into markets with low end, eco & cost conscious models. EVs kicked into high gear with the high margin performance models like Tesla S. The high margins justified the production costs and only as they gradually refined the technology and scaled up did the costs go down to fit successively lower markets.

Zuckerberg gunning for the Global C-Suite is exactly what McKinsey&Co would advise complete with entirely predictable distrous consequences for anyone even remotely involved. We're entering a new era - This bad-boy right here is kicking off what historians will refer to as The Second Corporate Wars. I approve. Let the bodies hit the floor.

Nonono, it is so the boss can talk down to and micromanage every employee individually.

80 million per year vs run an LLM for like $200/month for literally the exact same output

“Hey Zuck, can you come in here and sit down? Yeah why don’t you close the door behind you? I have some tough news.”

This is fucking insane.

What if it tells them to do something he doesn't want?

Edit: seriously this is some weird shit. Like the weirdest shit all year. Is he really lame enough that they can trust an AI to do his job?

So fucking strange. This has to be a method of spying on employees.

Ewww

I'm sure those conversation logs are gonna be private.

In what fucking world would anybody want to talk to him?

So how long till people fuck his avatar?

How can they tell if it's the AI version or the real one? Neither could pass a Turing test.

Now just prompt engineer to give all the employees raises and watch how quick it gets unplugged

Why would anyone work for facebook/meta?

I would have preferred a wooden marionette.

So… Did they digitalize an android?

That's a somewhat misleading headline. They are developing it. The way it's written, you'd think they've already done it

It's a direct line they just turned the robot body off

and they said AI was useless!

But does it have legs

Now we'll have to kiss an AI's ass to get ahead. I didnt see that coming.

Well, Meta finally managed to innovate on something.
