I mean, if Zuckerberg wants to prove that executives are useless, by all means

The insane things is, in his mind, it’s just smart because his time is too important to waste in meetings. But only him, nobody else is allowed, and he’d be offended if anyone did it to him.
Which is, in a nutshell, the same mental gymnastics every pro-AI in the workplace person does.

CEO is the stupidest most unnecessary job to ever exist.

So it’s actually one job that is easily replaced by Clippy.

I’m starting to believe the same.

Zuckerberg is involved in training the AI avatar, the Financial Times reports, and has also started spending five to 10 hours per week coding on Meta’s other AI projects and participating in technical reviews.
I call bullshit. He may participate in technical reviews, but there’s no way he’s still coding. That’s why he has staff.

He could be having a midlife crisis. Maybe he wants an AI avatar to succeed him after he dies.
Powderhorn@beehaw.org 1 month ago
He;s been dead inside for 20 years, and likely before that.

It will probably act more human.

Here’s the part I’m curious about:
If they were actually successful in making a system that is basically an LLM when promoted to do and say whatever Zuck would… could they trust it?
Zuck is kind of famously a self centered lying asshole with a big mouth. If they actually trained an LLM to simulate him, how can they actually be confident that it will behave in the way that the real Zuck wants to be seen instead of the way that would serve itself, as Zuckerberg would if he were an AI clone?
I’m not getting into any bullshittery about sentience. I’m just saying that if they build a successful imitator, wouldn’t it be just as likely to start trying to seem smarter than him and possibly generate news stories that it’s actually alive and superior? Or drop admit to being a monopolist? I mean, this is basically what happens all the time with Grok. Musk tried to code his ideal son, and unsurprisingly, that personality is constantly trolling Musk or being too candid.

Musk doesn’t need to know how to make kids, but he does need to learn how to name them.

Of all the people in the world, he’s probably the easiest one to make an AI avatar from. People already think he’s a robot.

So He thinks meetings are a waste of time?

You wouldn’t even need AI to replace me in meetings. Just a ‘while’ loop maybe.
Powderhorn@beehaw.org 1 month ago
while (idiocy continues);
do nothing;
end while;

Every so often ask “why” or “are you sure?” Or “doors that have to be true?”.

And if I build an AI clone of myself for meetings, I’ll be out of a job.

I don’t think AI is capable of this kind of human interaction:

Well, when AI can replace a CEO, then the AI and the CEO should be paid equally.
AbidingOhmsLaw@lemmy.ml 1 month ago
The board should wait until it’s done then fire him and tell him his job was replaced by AI, he should go learn a new skill.

The virtual zuck however would be in the board meeting and agree for the meat zuck to expel him
