@koen_hufkens@mastodon.social I am very, very interested in having an AI CEO that I can talk to and which has been given the authorization to give me raises. Please, by all means continue.

@cwebber Kudos To Mark for trying to replace himself, this should be easier to do than for any other human on this planet.

[kielkontrovers@norden.social]

@cwebber Can Zuckerberg be sued when his AI makes sexist remarks?

[bean@twoot.site]

@vv @cwebber you know, I think I prefer this vvm over any llm

[tom@labyrinth.social]

@cwebber you laugh but this will be a godsend for all the people clamoring to spend more time talking to such a famously charismatic, personable, cool guy

[jmax@mastodon.social]

@vv @bean @cwebber Alas, ZZ Top refused licensing rights.

[a2_4am@mastodon.social]

@cwebber I'm here for CEOs replacing themselves with AI. This idea definitely has legs.

[isaackuo@spacey.space]

@bean @cwebber Legs are too technologically challenging to implement.

Not a single video game Mark Zuckerburg studied before, during or after inventing the Metaverse implemented legs.

I think we can safely conclude that an abysmal track record of zero out of zero means that videogames can't implement legs.

[cargot_robbie@urbanists.social]

@cwebber Finally a legitimate use for AI: not talking to Mark Zuckerberg.

[slembcke@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@cwebber Oh Santa Claus, if I'm really really *really* good this year for Christmas, will you leak access to this AI to the general public? PLEASE?!

[eviloatmeal@ak.angelstrapped.com]

@cwebber Will the Metaverse version of him get its own AIsona? Or will the AIsona have a Metaverse version of it? And in either case, will the resulting abomination have legs?

[slembcke@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@cwebber Maybe the real laugh will be over in a few days when Ars retracts the story because it's AI slop after all? (sigh)

[ottomate@noc.social]

@cwebber finally, a little warmth and human touch instead of Zuck.

[fedihacker@masto.es]

@cwebber I thought he was a bot already.

[dave@alvarado.social]

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

Obviously April 2026 isn't it.

[jt_rebelo@ciberlandia.pt]

@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.
