An article that says almost nothing. Here's the key bit:
> Zuckerberg has a new pitch: “Creator AIs”, personalised chatbots and agents that he hopes will provide a much more engaging way to reach customers.
The idea of chatbots is hardly new — Facebook has tried them before without success. But what was new this week was the depth of Zuckerberg’s enthusiasm for the idea, and the extent to which he is swinging his company’s resources behind the new wave of generative AI.
Sounds like another advertiser/influencer-focused, walled-garden venture.
I tried that because meta automatically hooks up websearch and looks nicer but meta doesn't "hold onto" multiple search items for as long or as well as perplexity does. pplx/sonar now uses llama3 32K context for its search but you have to intently start with it or change to it.
I feel validated by your comment. When I first read about the Metaverse, I thought to myself that Zuckerberg saw that movie and wanted to build it in real life.
Sam Altman should hand over company's name to Meta.
But more seriously I wonder if Elon Musk sometimes thinks that OpenAI was at the end a good move - being so closed that it sparked open research everywhere as competitive advantage.
