Why don't you let us know your thoughts on Zuck? Then we'll have an idea how long this one lasts.
My thoughts on him have nothing to do with if we can keep this thread from becoming a political thread. And that's what will determine if it can stay. Exactly like the other thread.
Not too different from Musk, whom I remember being celebrated as a genius on this forum not too long ago. Now, a lot has changed since then, but he’s also a tech weirdo and visionary leader.
This mirrors much of what I was going to say, which is why I voted average. Facebook was a massive success, but was it because he was an amazing visionary, or he stumbled into the right idea at the right time, or a bit of both? Buying IG and WhatsApp was very smart. But the metaverse distraction seems like an enormous fumble, one the company probably couldn’t have survived if not sitting on an enormous cash pile from Facebook. His inability to turn Threads into a viable alternative to Twitter seems like a fail. Facebook itself is in slow decline, and the AI pivot, while probably necessary in today’s tech climate, has an unclear vision or endgame.
That’s the most baffling part of so much modern tech investment is they often seem to dump billions into things with only vague ideas of how they will be able to profit from it.
I don’t think it’s a foregone conclusion AGI decides to enslave us. Call me a pollyanna, but I believe it’s just as probable it solves aging, or performs some other heroic task for humankind.I can't separate the effectiveness as head of a corporation from the product if we're talking about the potential end of humanity as the result. What good is a company if you yourself wind up enslaved by machines who are so smart relative to you that even having overseen their rise you're useless and an impediment and they tear your meat and bones apart?
I mean, how effective is the man that kills himself? Wait, don't answer that. I don't want to get into martyrdom or as my friend's performance art troupe once called themselves, Future Suicide Heroes.
I guess I mean that if you're Brand New and an emo post-hardcore band, what if you're

At the very least, why not create a bunch of immortal slaves, whose meat just falls off the bone?

Very well could solve aging or figure out how to model the weather and stop the climate from changing or . . .
create a bunch of immortal slaves. That's sort of worse than p(doom) and I've already thought about it, believe me.
"Make me immortal!!!"
"Okay, immortality comin' right up, slave!"

By leaving measurements open-ended you've both increased short-term engagement and erased all doubt how this thread will end **delete**

I voted Elite, but if there was a higher option I'd have gone higher.
I think the best comp would be J.D. Rockefeller (Standard Oil) in terms of buying up the competition and other forms of anti-competitive behavior. We'll see if the end is the same; from Google AI

I'm not entirely sure, but I think this statement is sarcastic (one of my least favorite things, sarcasm).
I don't know of anyone else around here that has sparky as part of their name, so I am going to assume you're talking about me. I haven't even weighed in on this thread and have made ZERO comment on it. I just came across it a couple minutes ago, began reading and see this. Do you even read the threads?
I agree with this completely. By any objective measure he’s been wildly successful as a CEO and founder.
This is exactly what I said - whether intentional or not, the framing of your question was intended to engage. By approaching such a hot button topic open-ended you're inviting hard-line perspectives, while also nurturing an environment in which you don't want such content. This was fine when there was a PSF for such a subject, but with that shut down, and content shared by posters regulated, you're fostering an environment for discord. Again, whether intentional or not.
You're being serious?
