AI Update - The Future Of AI At Meta

The Future Of AI At Meta, Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp

Lex Fridman’s podcast dropped yesterday with a mega 2 hours 47 minutes interview with Zuck discussing a multitude of topics including Jiu Jitsu, their open source model, Llama, the future, and the government’s role in protection and regulation.

There is a lot to unpack in there and I have not listened to the whole interview but focused on one thing so far, Zuck’s vision for the future at Meta and its social properties.

To do this I used the Snipd app I mentioned earlier this week, and their AI-generated chapters to pull these sound bytes and key takeaways.
