Instagram and Facebook have addicted users for the last 20 years, making sure to monetize us through advertisers every step of the way. Now, they’re revisiting your old posts, your special moments, and your big life updates, and using it to create billion-dollar AI tools. Zuckerberg’s braggadocious claim about Meta’s very large dataset comes shortly after The New York Times sued OpenAI over intellectual property. But Meta is pulling an old trick out of its playbook: extracting as much value out of Instagram and Facebook users as humanly possible, and totally owning your online self.

Meta's entire network is blocked at my router, so good luck with that.
That’s okay, it’s not blocked on the routers and phones of all the other people who let Facebook scan their phones with your address in it, or who post photos with you in it.
Make no mistake - Facebook has a profile on you. You just don’t have the login to it.
Nice.
cracks knuckles Time to make a new fake account and nuke them with shitposting and Grandma Memes!
You fool, they thrive on that kind of things!

I can’t wait for AI to spout new conspiracy theories using images of minions.
Yeah, an AI is only as good as it’s training, so they are just going to end up with the worst AI. I bet there will be a ShitFacebookAISays community or something like that soon after the public gains access to it.

I still use messenger cause all my friends are there. I have it on its own device because yuck. It might be time to abandon them and say if they want DnD updates they need to come to Matrix.
you can always use mbasic on mobile without having to install an app. That’s how i do it with firefox and the facebook container extension with the facebook feed blocker extension that still works on mbasic.
I’ll look into that. My work gifted me a fold 5 after I only had the 3 for 2 years. Grateful but didnt really need it. So I ripped everything I could of google and samsung out of the 3 but left messenger on there. I’ll mess around with mbasic because you can’t really remove any facebook packages with adb without the apps also dying.
It's hard to feel bad for people who use facebook
This exchange was from 2004, when Zuckerberg first launched Facebook from his college dorm. Facebook has never pretended to be anything other than what it is, people keep giving it their information, and then they make a surprised-Pikachu face and complain when Facebook does exactly what they've always done with it. What Facebook said they would do in the TOS that they agreed to.
Dumb fucks.
I would agree, except spending 3 hours reading TOSes every day is not ever going to happen. It’s a broken model.
I agree. Dumb fucks.
They won’t as I don’t use them.
I wish it was that simple. If someone you know uses it then something about you gets there eventually.
But that’s still way better than voluntarily giving it away.
Absolutely, but at least I am not serving my stuff up on a silver platter
Joke's on him, I have neither. Succ my zukk.
I have both and don’t update them ever so that they can’t make a fake profile for me that I cannot control.

I’ve been thinking lately about how someone could use AI to make a “social network” site that works just like Facebook, except the user is the only real person and everyone else is AI. The AI users would respond very favorably to everything you post, and all of your posts would go viral. It would be kind of like an AI girlfriend, except instead of providing companionship, it would make you feel like you’re famous and popular. (I doubt Facebook would want to be associated with a product like that, but I bet someone will make something like that eventually.)
Gameify it and you just made a best seller.
If it didn’t take so much electricity to do I’d support it (but not actually use it).
You could run those models all locally without much fuss. You don’t need an entire chatGPT model to simulate the banality of social media.
Oooo yeah, sell it as offline/private social medial to the preppers. If we can make sure the algorithms gently steer people away from extremism over time, I think we could save the world.
Thats a great idea! We make a social network and entice all the worst that the world has to offer and then use AI and algos in an anti-facebook kinda way where you drive only positive engagement and create false personas that uses subtle but increasingly positive messaging as a sort of deprogramming.

Holy shit you might be onto something big.
This is a great idea, so great that it might actually cause societal damage and also the death of Elon Musk, which might actually balance out
Users would get bored quickly. The most engaging content on social media tends to be those posts that you disagree with or even anger you.
The real trick would be to sprinkle in about 40% controversy, 5% trolling and a healthy dash of nonsensical hate posting.
You need to give the user a tribe along with an opposition to defend the tribe against.
20 years? Please!
Wait…
Oh no
Well, people gave him the data and signed his agreement, so this should be expected. And honestly, this is a far better use of the data than selling it to people, which they are also doing. I have no interest in meta and I won’t ever use what they make, but I’m interested in machine learning getting better. Of course this is Meta so whatever they make is going to eventually be a bad idea. Hopefully it’s not skynet. 🤞
Can we get Samaritan? I’d love to join the fight against it.
Damn, now it’s time for a re-watch.
To do what?
I mean I don’t know if y’all been on Facebook since 200X but it’s not exactly a place of intelligence
Apparently Ai eats stupId and it makes it smart because it doesn’t caRe about the DIfferenCe and doesn’t need to Know either.
I think one idea is they know how people interact, so theoretically could ensnare 1 user in a web of interactions between multiple other fake interactions, or interactions which are tweaked to increase conversion (even something as simple as playing with the timing of a real notification). You can start to how user behavior could be orchestrated to produce (even more) desired outcomes.
So, they want to make an app or service where people just talk to bots all the time without knowing it?
Sounds like Reddit.
And those bots can manipulate you into doing whatever the fuck they want you to do.
Instagram would likely be dramatically more useful to mine for an image generator than Facebook for a textbot
Mine won’t. I never participated in his circus.
Imagine an AI trained on your uncle’s racist Facebook rants lol
Or all of the softcore porn on Instagram. Can’t wait for that one lmao
Don’t have to imagine. Microsoft Tay already happened
Someone’s posts might, but not mine…
Every time Facebook shows up in the news, my desire to create an account drops to a new record low.
