Will anybody tell Linux Kernel, XFCE, TDE, and the other slop-slingers?

Cal Newport: "From the outside, software development seemed like the poster child for AI’s potential. On the inside, it’s a mess."

META’S REAL AI WAS HIDING
IN PLAIN SIGHT. 💎

I watched a video this morning called 'The (Overdue) Collapse of Meta,' expecting another story about a giant technology company finally coming unstuck.

BUT THAT REALLY WASN'T THE STORY.

Meta is still making extraordinary amounts of money.

The metaverse was a spectacular failure. Zuckerberg renamed the company around it, talked about a billion people eventually inhabiting virtual worlds, and poured tens of billions of dollars into trying to make it happen.

PEOPLE MOSTLY DIDN'T COME.

But while everyone was laughing at cartoon legs and expensive headsets, something else inside Meta was working extraordinarily well.

THE ADVERTISING MACHINE

For more than a decade, Meta has been using AI to learn from the tiny signals produced by billions of human brains. What we stop to look at. What we click. What we ignore. What keeps us scrolling?

WHAT WE ARE ABOUT TO BUY

And increasingly, what we might be about to do. That system became astonishingly good at turning human behaviour into advertising revenue. Which changes the story rather dramatically.

META DIDN'T FAIL TO BUILD POWERFUL AI.

It was built years ago. It just wasn't sitting there chatting pleasantly to us. It was behind Facebook and Instagram, watching behaviour and learning how to predict it.

And the enormous advertising business generated by that machinery is now helping to finance Meta's next gigantic gamble: superintelligence, data centres, researchers, and infrastructure costing tens of billions of dollars.

There is something almost perfect about that. The metaverse failed because people didn't particularly want what Meta was selling. The advertising machine succeeded because we WERE what Meta was selling. And perhaps that is the part worth paying attention to.

Because sometimes the most important question about technology isn't:

DID IT WORK?

It is:

WHAT DID IT LEARN TO DO TO US?

A dark, dystopian landscape dominated by an enormous fortress-like data centre. Mark Zuckerberg’s face looms from its centre beneath a glowing red Meta symbol. Thick cables spread outward to surveillance towers with red camera eyes. Below, hundreds of shadowy people stare at their phones or walk toward a fiery red entrance, under a threatening storm-filled sky.

I think it is meaningful that Marvin Minsky, sometimes called the "father of AI", seemed to hold human beings in low regard.

Here's John Searle in 1983:

Marvin Minsky of MIT says that the next generation of computers will be so intelligent that we will ‘be lucky if they are willing to keep us around the house as household pets.'

Here's Joseph Weizenbaum in 2007:

Professor Marvin Minsky of MIT, once pronounced—a belief he still holds—that ‘‘the brain is merely a meat machine.’’

He goes on to note that meat is dead and might be eaten or thrown out. Flesh is what's alive. He also draws attention to the word "merely", as in "nothing more than".

I share with Weizenbaum the belief that Minsky has clearly expressed a disdain for human intelligence. We're on the order of household pets. Our brains are no more than food or trash. Obviously Minsky doesn't speak for all AI researchers then or since, but his "meat machine" language is all over the place, and this disdain or even contempt for human intelligence and achievement is also common.

It definitely doesn't speak to a curiosity about intelligence, which I think requires at least a little bit of love and esteem.
