Inside Mark Zuckerberg's AI Era | The Circuit

If the latest battle in the AI wars is between open and closed models, Meta CEO and Founder Mark Zuckerberg is right on the frontlines. Since rebranding as Meta in 2021, the trillion-dollar company, formerly known as Facebook, has been pouring billions into its long term bets on artificial intelligence and the metaverse. Meta’s latest push is a major play to open-source AI, in contrast to Google and Open AI. In an exclusive interview, Bloomberg’s Emily Chang sits down with Zuckerberg to discuss how the company’s newest AI model Llama 3.1 will shape the future of business, technology and society. She also visits his retreat in Lake Tahoe to talk about his personal evolution as a leader, and learns how to wake surf with Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla Chan.

I spent several hours with Mark Zuckerberg for this piece - including at Meta HQ and his home in Lake Tahoe. I learned so much about how he thinks, and his personal evolution as a leader - and huge bonus, he taught me how to wake surf! You will have to watch to see how I do😊

Congrats to Zuck for passing the Turing test! Crazy how far we've come.

the irony of OpenAI being closed source

[clancy-sigal]

AI generated influencers sound like a pretty grim future ngl

[AaAa-jeeo]

Everyone is raving about the Tesla Optimus robot, but Meta's ZuckBot robot is on another level.

The speech is much smoother, probably thanks to the LLMs, but the physical skin is less translucent now compared to the previoius lizard model and the hair fibers look real compared to the plasticy lego hair it used to have. Well done Meta 👏👏

It's not his AI era, it's his rizz era

[Progamer]

He announces llama 4 but his AI brain is running llama 7

Zuckerberg wearing gold chains now and growing his hair out 😂😂

Zucks whole AI is developed so you are using his services more and hanging even longer amounts on your phone, people should keep that always in mind. It being "open source" doesnt make him a great person (like some suggested), because we should always look at the purpose behind it... having all these artifical conversations with influencers isnt so you "feel connected" it is so you spend more time on instagram, facebook and maybe even whatsapp. All while he himself realized whats important for humans in life: Spending more time in nature and being active, less time on your phone. Meanwhile you are having these synthetic conversations without a real person on the other side, where you are revealing more data about yourself, that he can then use for his advertising business. For me this is a little bit hypocritical and even kind of dystopian.

Zuck’s software needs the following upgrade: you don’t sit on chairs as you do on toilets.

Zuck is looking more human with every update 😂

[sitrakaforler]

That PR campaign from Meta is working x)
Zuckerberg looks more and more human !

[CharlieKnolesPlus]

Emily is such a great interviewer. She asks incisive questions without being unnecessarily aggressive. She has great technical understanding but doesn’t speak above the level of her audience. She’s one of the best.

"We are not just minds, We need energy and love and that makes us a person"
- Zuck's comment on uploading our conciousness to the cloud.
We need emotions.

Zuck trying to relate to zoomers is funny. He has for sure hired a stylist and asked 'how can I relate to the younger generation' and they've done this to him.

[damianolszewski]

This interview isn't sponsored... Not at all xD

I thought for a second he was wearing a death row records gold chain
