“The average intelligence of the people who are at this company is significantly higher than the average set of people that you can get to do tasks,” said Zuckerberg. “So if we’re trying to teach the models coding, for example, then having people internally build tools or solve tasks that help teach the model how to code, we think is going to dramatically increase our model’s coding ability faster than what others in the industry have the capability to do, who don’t have thousands and thousands of extremely strong engineers at their company.”
He assured the company’s 78,000 employees that “no human is looking at or watching what people are doing on their computers… None of the data is being used for looking at what people are doing or surveillance or performance tracking or anything like that. It’s purely just that we are using this to feed a very large amount of content into the AI model so that way it can learn how smart people use computers to accomplish tasks.”
Zuckerberg explained how the employees have been used to train the model that could potentially replace many of them days after Meta announced it was planning to lay off about 10% of its workforce as the company invests heavily in AI, spending $125 billion to $145 billion on the technology—more than double what it spent last year.
“Don’t freak out, guys! I’m just having you train your replacement. A replacement that costs an order of magnitude more than you.”
Ah, so Meta employees are complaining because they have become the product.
lol, a new layer of enshittification?
Meta employees reported Wednesday that in the company’s offices on the day mass layoffs hit thousands of their colleagues, fliers were taped to walls urging workers to sign a petition in support of stopping the company’s new artificial intelligence data tracking program
Imagine still working at Facebook
This man is a fucking billionaire? It’s not because he’s smart, obviously.
It’s because he made a website to rate the attractiveness of his co-eds.
He’s a website builder. That’s about it.
I think monetizing one’s antisocial behavior is the main requirement to get a billion dollars. The only intelligence required is finding a niche where people will tolerate it.
Having no empathy is the main requirement
Oh no. I’ve met tons of assholes that are still dirt poor
So fuckerburg, since you want to use us to train AI to get rid of us, where’s our 4m-8m golden parachute packages you’re gonna add to our contract that will ensure we will be able to maintain an income from dividends of investments after you choose to discard us and stop paying us?
oh wait, you’re just pocketing all of that. I guess you don’t have enough billions.
I’m confused… duh? Is this better than tracking employees computer use to fire them for taking too many coffee breaks?
It sounds like they want to record their work to clone it into their AI, so that sounds like they want their AI to do the work of those people. Doesn’t sound better for those people. But both can be bad at once.
Yeah, but I’m saying that was blatently obvious from the start.
