Lol forecasted meaning sales pitched to investors
I suspect it’s more likely that Meta won’t exist in any recognizable way in 2035 than anyone makes a huge profit on A.I. in the next decade. There will be advancements, to be sure, and compute will (hopefully) get cheaper and more efficient but 2035 seems like an Elon-Musk-level optimistic timeline.
I’m sort of agnostic on A.I. I don’t like it for much now but certainly see its potential. But look how long it took for The Internet to be universally adopted. And that’s assuming researchers even can solve the really hard last 20% of problems.
But someone smarter than me once put it better:
Are they assuming the people buying ads on their platforms will still pay money to advertise exclusively to Meta's ai bots?
"people" buying ads? In 2035? What a delightfully vintage concept!
Sarcasm: And $4.1T to get there.
Are they hoping lobster Jesus will kickstart a new religion and bring in many paying followers or what‘s their angle here?
If they disallowing opt out of the shitty ai then i guess they will get to there by selling your data even more.
Did they started fighting for robot rights or something ?
