| When your whole job is "giving notes", being flattered, and imagining your workers as cogs, prompting a chatbot probably does feel like "work." |

| ▲ | janderson215 8 hours ago | parent [-] | | Assuming age verification should be implemented, do you think the application layer is the right place to do that, or would the OS layer make more sense? | | |
| ▲ | CamperBob2 8 hours ago | parent [-] | | The parental layer is the right place to do that. | | |
| ▲ | kelseyfrog 5 hours ago | parent [-] | | That's great. Any serious proposals? | | |
| ▲ | CamperBob2 5 hours ago | parent [-] | | I wouldn't tell you how to parent your children, and all I ask is the same consideration in return. | | |
| ▲ | kelseyfrog 4 hours ago | parent [-] | | I just see it as an unnecessary hill to die on. Its not possible to win on those conditions so why spend energy on a failed outcome? I wish those who shared the sentiment found an effective method to achieve their goals, but online message board activism doesn't pass the sniff test. To me it's a public health issue and shares the same, "you can do what you want, but I will not be forced into participating," that resulted in the invention of chin diapers. To an outsider both look like pathological demand avoidance[1]. 1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pathological_demand_avoidance | | |

| Hypothesis is he will blame his recent poor decisions on the probabilistic AI agent he was using (or psychosis). |

| Should I spend $70B on something no one wants? See what the AI says. |

| Now AI can be just like Zuck and come up with 0 original ideas that have any value. Facebook copied MySpace and bought Instagram (with FB Camera losing to them). Their only original idea was Metaverse - an FoA (flop-on-arrival). They even dropped the ball on AI, something they should have had a massive advantage at with their ad profiles and social media empire. |

| ▲ | garbawarb 12 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | Can you name some companies whose products are built on original ideas? | | |
| ▲ | butlike 11 hours ago | parent [-] | | To be fair, General Motors is built off of the idea of the wheel, which I believe is an original idea | | |
| ▲ | sunrunner 8 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | I'm not so sure, their 'original' wheel was just a refinement to the round boulders that already existed on the planet and the mechanical advantages naturally existing in that form. | |
| ▲ | dessimus 8 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | By that logic, the Taggart Baking Co. should have been one of the richest companies ever, since everyone compares their product to it as the greatest thing since. | | |

| ▲ | mandeepj 10 hours ago | parent [-] | | > grow to be one of youngest billionaires Are you equating intelligence with networth? :-) I think it's more like this https://www.amazon.com/Accidental-Billionaires-Founding-Face... | | |
| ▲ | bko 4 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | I'm going to go out on a limb and say you have to be above average intelligence to start a business and become a billionaire from it | |
| ▲ | 0xy 8 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | IQ is highly correlated with both income and wealth so it seems like a fair comment. Of course not all billionaires have a high IQ, but far more billionaires do than your average person. | | |
| ▲ | tptacek 5 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | Not in the way you're implying. There's an IQ threshold that correlates somewhat with income, but correlated gains drop (kind of vanish) after it, and that threshold is pretty low; it might be 100. | | |
| ▲ | 0xy 4 hours ago | parent [-] | | Nothing you just said disproves anything I claimed. Billionaires tend to have significantly higher IQ than average. The same is true for high income people. | | |
| ▲ | tptacek 4 hours ago | parent [-] | | I think it is in fact not the case that high income people generally have significantly higher IQ than average. As for billionaires: when was the last billionaire IQ survey done? | | |

| ▲ | Natfan 6 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | survivorship bias. there is absolutely nothing stopping a poor child in sierra leone from becoming the next einstein, outside of access to things that should be considered mandatory for human life. | | |
| ▲ | 0xy 4 hours ago | parent [-] | | Blank slate theory has been thoroughly discredited so many times I'm not sure why I'm even responding, but this is complete nonsense. If you're born with 62 IQ like the average Sierra Leone citizen, no amount of education will get you to 120. It's literally not possible. According to research, a full education can add ~15 IQ points. So someone from Sierra Leone who's average and receives a full education can expect to have around 77 IQ, which means severe issues with reading comprehension, math beyond simple arithmetic and following multi-step instructions. | | |
| ▲ | Natfan an hour ago | parent [-] | | so geographical region of birth dictates intelligence? how intriguing. i would like to know if that child was fed well, provided with shelter and given a good education -- would it still be, in your words, "not possible" for them to break even 100IQ? |

| Literally any modern LLM + Kagi Translate to LinkedIn would immediately get you to above average CEO level. His courage to go the remaining way is commendable. |

| Now that's a project that i support, after the fiasco of metaverse. If there could be a CEO-as-AI-service , we will not have to put up with all their BS content . |
| |
| ▲ | scotty79 11 hours ago | parent [-] | | I think models from one year ago with proper harness should be easily beating humans at this task on average. Human CEOs decisions are worse than random chance. |

| You know what? Good. Any one-shotted CEO who thinks this is the future and we MUST adopt it or else, should be first in line. Before anyone else in the org. |

| What happens when Zuck has spent 3 months in deep conversation, deep deep mental communion, with his "AI" and returns from the metaphorical mountain top with a new holy book, the kind that we've seen folks link to several times. Instant new cult? |
