@cwebber I've been wondering when The Onion writers get a reprieve.

Obviously April 2026 isn't it.

@Fedihacker I am sure the AI will be more humanlike. @cwebber

[phredmoyer@hachyderm.io]

@cwebber “you raise an interesting point employee #34726. Now back to work “

[dvshkn@social.treehouse.systems]

@a2_4am @cwebber yeah the funniest outcome is definitely if it works too well

[chris@mstdn.chrisalemany.ca]

@cwebber let's be honest, the AI will have a decent chance of being more human... right up until it unleashes the apocalypse

[noplasticshower@infosec.exchange]

@cwebber Great time to ask for some budget and a raise...with proper prompting of course.

@cwebber

Employee : It comes off as an emotionless robot that doesn't have any morals

Zuck : 🤌 perfect

[whitecattamer@mastodon.online]

@cwebber Gotdam, they’ve drunk so much Flavor-AId that they’re starting to replace themselves.

[ottaross@mastodon.social]

@cwebber hoping that people who use it find themselves suspending their filters when talking to the real one too, and everyone around him is suddenly hostile. lol

[prism@infosec.exchange]

@cwebber IDK who would actually use it. I can assure you at no point did the times get tough enough for me to wish for a "what would Mark do?" bracelet to consult.

[two9a@hachyderm.io]

@a2_4am @cwebber Appreciate the double entendre of the idea having legs even though metaZuck doesn't have legs.

[makeratschool@kanoa.de]

@cwebber We all know how this will end ...
(I'm sure you can see the resemblance, too, right?)

[piper@lgbtqia.space]

@cwebber so…anything the employees can persuade it say is an official quote attributable to Mark Zuckerberg, agreed? And legally binding.

[cbielstein@techhub.social]

@cwebber Sounds like Zuck's job is in danger of being replaced by AI. Think about how much money Meta could save by laying him off...

[io@hci.social]

@cwebber maybe they realize that a ceo agent is actually more useful than replacing the actual workers with ai…

[neilk@xoxo.zone]

@cwebber Will this ever be available outside Meta? We could all benefit from the calming presence of a little Mark Zuckerberg in the corner of our screen, always available to watch over us and guide us with his wisdom. #wwmzd

[kevinflynn@c.im]

@cwebber
seems redundant

[wtrmt@mastodon.social]

@cwebber guess which version will be firing people left and right?

[wtrmt@mastodon.social]

@cwebber I do hope that ZuckAi degrades like the portrait of Dorian Gray based on the ZuckReal public perception

[drwho@masto.hackers.town]

@cwebber How could anyone tell?
