Meta chief Mark Zuckerberg published a 6,500 word essay about the future of AI, and Jason thinks it’s his smartest PR move in years.
The thinkpiece, “The Future is for Everyone: The Path to a Positive AI Future,” arrives alongside a new open-weight Meta model — Muse Glimmer — and the promise of an open-weight version of Muse Spark 1.2 to come. Zuckerberg’s clearly pitching an “abundance” narrative, promising the American public untold benefits from AI technology — everything from a PhD-level tutor for every student to scientific breakthroughs, personal assistants, and beyond — all for the low low cost of not banning new data centers. Do our hosts think everyday voters will take this deal?
