In a quarterly earnings call that was overwhelmingly about AI and Meta’s plans for it, Zuckerberg said that new, AI-generated feeds are likely to come to Facebook and other Meta platforms. Zuckerberg said he is excited for the “opportunity for AI to help people create content that just makes people’s feed experiences better.” Zuckerberg’s comments were first reported by Fortune.
“I think we’re going to add a whole new category of content, which is AI generated or AI summarized content or kind of existing content pulled together by AI in some way,” he said. “And I think that that’s going to be just very exciting for the—for Facebook and Instagram and maybe Threads or other kind of Feed experiences over time.”

That’s cool, I quit Facebook ages ago.
The goal has always been engagement prisons. Where people never leave the platform. With generated content this must seem like a final step. They don’t need to make people to interact with each other in ways that keeps both of them engaged. They don’t need to leech content from other sites while preventing people from going to the site. With generated content people will interact with themselves while engaged in completely fabricated content. It’s even more dystopian than ever.
Then stop damaging morale, Zuck.
a whole new category of content, which is AI generated or AI summarized content or kind of existing content pulled together by AI in some way,
Good to know that they really have thought it through. Reminds me of the kind of user story our project manager writes.
I think I’m with him on this one. Replacing all the people on social with AI agents would give us back so much free time! And we could even restart socializing for real.
Go on Zuckerberg, give us a Facebook made only of AI agents creating fake pictures of inexistent gatherings and posting them, so other AIs can recommend them and million of other AIs can comment on them!
You are an unsung hero, Zuckerberg, but one day they’ll understand and thank you
Am i mistaken or did he regress to a typical CEO type, from the way he can’t put together one single sentence without stumbling over another one?
Please mark that picture nsfw it’s gross as fuck
This man is a Muppet. He just wants to exploit the people who live in this world and use his services for profits. What a legacy to leave behind…
He won’t get me. I deleted Facebook over a decade ago. The writing was all over the walls, everyone…
It’s probably to nullify the incentive to use external LLMs, thus marking everything generated on the platform by the platform as such and also meaning Zuck can regulate what can actually be generated controlling the flow of LLM-gen content. If you put it that way, it doesn’t sound that senseless.
It might also be an attempt to fence in AI-generated content in its own feed, so that doesn’t infest everything else as much, which doesn’t seem that unreasonable either.
He looks tired.
Too less sleep and too much drugs.
Media intentionally uses bad pictures of the people they don’t like and vice versa.
I don’t think Zuckerberg has any good pictures of himself.
The metaverse a resounding failure, Facebook has latched on to the AI hype train in hopes of making the company relevant. They’re basically put of ideas on how to feed the beast of “forever growth” the markets demand.
Meta is very relevant Facebook Instagram whatsapp
They have a slim chance if they keep subsidizing VR headsets to hold a and luceative chunk of the VR market when that actually takes off. VR is genuinely cool enough that enough people will get hooked once they experience a headset on their face with a VR experience that jives with them
VR is a cool gimmick but I don’t enjoy it for gaming.
I’ve played VR before. But I don’t see it as a necessity just to play video games. It’s also incredibly disorienting after playing for a while, and it’s expensive to get the VR headsets, usually, also requiring you to already have a console, or PC to hook up to, so why wouldn’t we just play regular games then?
VR is great when playing Warthunder in aircraft, where you can easily track an opponents plane while maneuvering your aircraft after them.
For tank and naval battles - meh.
All of the things you listed are either being worked on, or are mischaracterizations of the state of VR.
While I do agree, I also find that even though I find VR a lot more intense and enjoyable than any flat screen game I’ve played, I also only rarely use mine even still. There’s something about it that seems to make it a hassle to use casually somehow, between actually getting the headset straps feeling comfortable, getting the passthrough cables plugged, launching driver programs on both the pc and the headset just to get to steamvr. It’s not a problem at all if I’m feeling specifically like doing VR stuff for a couple hours as it doesn’t take that long, but if I’m recently home from work and want to just chill for a bit without really knowing what, even that inconvenience means that the VR stuff basically never gets used for me.
My current VR headset feels a lot more polished than my previous, older one, or previous experience with earlier devices owned by people I was visiting, and admittedly I bet it’s probably a bit smoother on standalone than on pc passthrough like I go for, but I feel like to really take off, putting it on is going to need to not feel like setting up a printer whilst wearing a box on your head.
I’m just not sold on it. I can play the same games without VR, and they work just fine for me. I think most people feel the same way.
Funny, the first thing I do when I recognize that something is AI-generated media, I make an effort never to visit that site/channel/feed/whatever ever again.
Obvously Facebook- and Zuckerberg-mocking AI content must continue until morale improves.
I heard Zuckerberg is poop.
Eh, not my best effort, but I’m tired. I just pushed a 600lbs man 2/3rds of a mile while he told me trump was going to save us all.
He never clarified from what trump would be saving us from. Probably because he himself hasn’t been told yet from Fox News. Because it’s more profitable for Fox News to make vague threats in the world, never define them, but pass them off as immediate danger. That way, if they’re ever brought to court, they can truthfully claim that at no point have they ever reported the news. Instead they claim they are a fictional entertainment channel. That’s real. That happened. Fox News, under oath, openly stated that they do not report facts, and are an entertainment company. They were forced to admit under penalty of pergury, that they have as much journalistic integrity as The Onion.
But it would be so great if there were some mark they could use, by convincing him that theres an enemy from within. Then put that man in the white house. I mean, can you imagine??? Manipulating a narcisist who happens to be the president, into doing whatever you want by feeding him, and the rest of the nation, a never ending series of lies? And as an entertainment company, you have zero obligation to report factually and objectively. Instead you can lead him down whatever path you want!!! COULD YOU IMAGINE???
Ok. Back to reality. Zuckerberg is poop.
Something which clarified Zuck’s behavior in my mind was an interview where he said something along the lines of, “I could sell meta for x amount of dollars, but then I’d just start another company anyways, so I might as well not.”
The guy isn’t doing what financially makes sense. He’s Uber rich and working on whatever projects he thinks are cool. I wish Zuck would stop sucking in all his other ways, but he just doesn’t care about whether his ideas are going to succeed or not.
Agree. It is unfortunate however, that when being impossibly rich and protected for the rest of your life, you still work on how to squeeze the most out of humanity instead of focusing on something greater.
The rich want to get richer, the strong want to get stronger, collectors want more collectibles, records are meant to be broken, and so on. It’s never been about the destination - it’s about the journey. Having things isn’t fun; getting things is fun.
“And I think that that’s going to be just very exciting for the…”
Plebs? He almost slipped lol
I believe it’s “dumb fucks” if history is anything to go by.
