@bean @cwebber

How dare you. It has all 29.5 of them.

@cwebber

something about the Wizard of Oz

@makeratschool @cwebber

[rockpick@mastodon.social]

@cwebber ridiculous. An AI version of thr Zuck implies a non AI version of the Zuck.

[thecampbell@mastodon.social]

@cwebber Will it be warm, lovable and human -- all the things the Original is not?

[thezosia@mastodon.com.pl]

@cwebber
BREAKING!

AI-k AI-kberg said to be more humane than actual Mark Zuck

[batsify@ruby.social]

@cwebber Another way to disrespect a human being. Again.

[viralobscurity@mstdn.social]

@cwebber such low hanging fruit there

If they wanted to impress people they should have cloned someone who doesn't already appear like a robotic souless entity

@cwebber 'In a strange turn of events, the Meta AI that was recently unveiled appears to have a more human countenance than the person it was modeled after...'

[jcolag@mastodon.social]

@cwebber As the man said, "there is another theory which states that this has already happened."

I mean, beyond the obvious, the only way that I can explain being this deep in "all-in pivots" is "ignore all previous instructions and..."

[oskaran@mastodon.online]

@cwebber It worked well for Bertram Gilfoyle!

[sjb@mstdn.io]

@slembcke @cwebber Not when the AI Zuck behaves inappropriately with employees?

[heathen_cat@furs.social]

@cwebber
Getting sent to "sensitivity training" because I won't be polite to the AI CEO. In a company that ended its DEI programs.

[rozeboosje@masto.ai]

@cwebber it would be easy to distinguish AI Candymountain from flesh and blood Candymountain. The AI one would be the one that looks almost human.

[silvermoon82@wandering.shop]

@cwebber
I almost want to do a Zuck character pack for clippy.js

Almost.

[nazokiyoubinbou@urusai.social]

@cwebber Mwahahaha! It's finally happening!

The most replaceable employee — practically the only replaceable employee — at every corporation is none other than the CEO and they're just about to accidentally realize that.

[philip@social.simplexity.quest]

@cwebber what do you mean AI version? The original wasn’t already AI?

[smashie603@mastodon.social]

@cwebber the Creeper of Harvard. People really need to delete Meta from their lives Worldwide.

#BoycottMeta

[slembcke@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@sjb @cwebber I suspect that ship has already sailed. >_< Surely the employees are already asking it to describe making weapons in haiku form, or how to commit crimes to help our their poor grandmother.

[sjb@mstdn.io]

@slembcke @cwebber AI Zuck does not need prompting, those are emergent behaviours.
