My overarching thought after reading as much as I could stand of this is: "Wow, sure sounds like Zuck really drank his own Kool-Aid - or if he didn't, at least he wants us all to believe that he did!". The question is not whether "superintelligence" will be accomplished, the question is only how fast. I mean, LLMs are nice, but the jury's still out on whether they alone will be enough for "superintelligence"...
I do not understand why anyone who believes that AI will eliminate most jobs and much of humanity's relevance would rush to build that future.
Because they can make a sh*tload of money by doing it (or at least they hope they can)?
AI will almost certainly get to be pretty intelligent. Whether the algo is LLM or something else doesn't matter that much. I note the term LLM doesn't appear in Zuck's thing.

Jury's been back for years: LLMs will never, can never, deliver superintelligence or AGI or the Omnissiah for that matter.
What's the evidence for that? I don't think it is likely to happen, but I don't see any evidence that AGI won't happen.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

It does.
What are some of the tech elites "sweetening" their kool-aid with these days anyway?
