Meta’s Chief AI Officer Alexandr Wang just put a five-year countdown on the most consequential race in human history. Wang: “Mark and myself, we very strongly believe that this is a very special time in human history.” Not a decade. Not a generation. Five years. Wang: “The discoveries made over the next half-decade are going to be some of the most monumental discoveries that human civilization has ever made.” To run that race, Meta didn’t just build a new model. They built an entirely new division from scratch. Meta Superintelligence Labs. Designed from a blank slate. Singular focus. Wang: “What does the optimal team look like for the future of superintelligence?” The bottleneck to superintelligence isn’t compute anymore. It isn’t data. It’s the density of human genius in a single room. Wang: “Highest talent density. Bring the very best people together and build the best possible environment for them.” The AI arms race has shifted from hoarding GPUs to hoarding the smartest minds on earth. The first company to perfect that organizational structure will be the first company to reach superintelligence. But reaching it is only half the battle. Deploying what you built to the world is the other half. And here is where Meta’s advantage becomes almost unfair. Wang: “Three and a half billion people utilize our platforms every single day.” While every other AI lab is still trying to figure out how to get users to adopt their technology, Meta already has nearly half the planet locked into their ecosystem. MSL wasn’t built just to achieve scientific breakthroughs. Wang: “Build the products that will enable this technology to be deployed to billions and billions of people worldwide.” Whoever builds superintelligence first wins the race. Whoever distributes it to 3.5 billion people controls what comes after. Meta is positioning to do both.

Mark Zuckerberg explains the winning DNA of Meta. Even when people thought Facebook is gonna get obsolete with the rise of apps like Snapchat, Twitter & Instagram etc. Meta still stands as one of the most powerful companies in the world. Mark says Meta was never a social app or a social network, it's a technology company focused on Human Connections. Unlike other companies they've never limited themselves to a narrow point from the beginning. Meta's Technical foundation is so strong that it could venture into any domain & create major impact. Meta's ability to solve any problem also comes from Mark's engineering origin - he studied System Engg & this impacted the whole company's problem solving mindset. Also Mark noticed this in SV & made sure Meta didn't do this mistake - Not all companies who call themselves a Tech company is truly a technology company. As their management team & Board had Less engineers & even the CEO sometimes aren'y technical , they can't be considered a tech company, Meta has more engg in their Management & Board.

This can be the superpower of the Neural Band that Meta is giving together with the Ray-Ban Meta Display glasses. The video shows an old prototype bracelet by CTRL+LABS, the startup acquired by Meta and whose technology was used to develop the Neural Band. At the beginning of the video, the guy makes an action (a keyboard key press) with his hands, then the bracelet can substitute the key pressure, and at the end of the video, the guy doesn't even have to do the action; it is just sufficient that he "thinks" about it. As long as the brain is sending an electric message to the fingers, the full action is not necessary anymore. Just an "intention" to move them is necessary. If the Neural Band is evolved to this stage, and the users are educated to this, potentially, we may not even need to perform air taps or writing gestures, but we could just think about doing them. This would reduce a lot of the fatigue of using XR devices and the weirdness of using them on the street. Then why isn't this feature available today? I guess that the reason is twofold. First of all, we have accuracy: the full gesture is easier to detect for the system. Many people (me included) are praising the accuracy of the Neural Band, and this is amazing, because an input mechanism should have a reliability close to 100%. Then we, as users, have never been trained to just "think" about actions: it would feel weird and hard to learn. I think we should undergo some training to learn how to do this "thinking" operation properly. I hope that something like this could come in the upcoming years... that would be the real game-changer paradigm if compared to the camera-based tracking.

Today I’m announcing a major multi-million dollar defamation lawsuit against Meta, the owner of Facebook & Instagram. The case is WILD and has implications for ALL OF US. On top of falsely calling me a criminal, Meta suggested my kids be taken from me. Here’s a summary of events: This all started with Meta’s AI falsely claiming that I was charged with a crime from January 6th but… I wasn’t even in DC that day (I was in TN) and I’ve never been charged with a crime IN MY LIFE. We found this out in August of 2024 when I was exposing woke policies at Harley Davidson. One dealership was unhappy with me and they posted a screenshot from Meta’s AI in an effort to attack me. This screenshot was filled with lies. I couldn’t believe it was real so I checked myself. It was even worse when I checked. From that day I’ve faced a steady stream of false accusations that are deeply damaging to my character and the safety of my family. This sounds bad, right? It gets MUCH worse. Meta was notified LAST YEAR by my lawyers, yet the defamation continues today. Some lies Meta spread about me: • Meta’s AI claims that I’ve appeared on Nick Fuentes show, that I’ve spoken at his rallies, and that I’ve supported him. I’ve never met him and this is all false. • Meta’s AI claims I’ve engaged in Holocaust denial. I’ve NEVER denied the Holocaust. • Meta’s AI tells advertisers NOT to advertise with me because of the lies it invented. • Meta tells employers NOT to hire me because of the lies it invented. • Meta suggested that MY KIDS BE TAKEN FROM ME because it would be better for them to be raised by someone more friendly to DEI and transgenderism. • Meta’s ironically claimed that I’ve been sued for DEFAMATION and EMOTIONAL DISTRESS. I’ve never been sued for either. I’ve tried to fix this privately since last year. Instead of fixing this and instituting safeguards, Meta has given us the runaround. Meta later BLACKLISTED my name from being searched (insane) but it didn’t end the defamation because Meta includes my name in news stories. You can then ask for more info about me. If you do that, Meta goes back to defaming me. In fact, the lies this week are the worst yet! Meta’s AI admits that a false accusation over J6 is extremely harmful to whoever is accused. It even agrees that a court is LIKELY to rule that this was defamation with ACTUAL MALICE. With my lawsuit today, I intend to MAKE Mark Zuckerberg Meta solve this problem. Why is this so important? While I’m the target today, a candidate you like could be the next target, and lies from Meta’s AI could flip votes that decide the election. YOU could be the next target too. That’s why I’m taking on this David vs. Goliath fight. For me, my honor, my family, for our elections, and FOR YOU!

Introducing Sai-Fi: an open source app that lets you talk to AI agent Sai through a pair of Meta Ray-Ban glasses. Sai is an autonomous computer-use agent. It can see the screen, move the mouse, type, and keep working even when you are away. We used Meta Ray-Bans for the first prototype but the glasses aren't really the point. Underneath is the Sai API and a voice concierge designed to work across different devices. The interface could live in an earpiece, a car, a small box on a workbench, or something nobody has built yet. Give it a microphone, a speaker, and a connection, and Sai has another way in. The bigger idea is an autonomous computer you can reach from anywhere. Bring Sai to your own Meta Ray-Ban glasses today!

Meta paid $14 billion to pry Alex Wang away from Scale AI, the company he co-founded and ran. The hope - Zuck's hope - was that Wang could fix what ailed Meta's AI program. Over the past year, Meta has spent billions more pulling researchers away from other labs and has raced to create it first new model called Muse Spark under a regime led by Wang, Nat Friedman, Daniel Gross and Shengjia Zhao. This interview is the first time Wang has talked about all the drama of the past year and where Meta is heading with AI. The Core Memory podcast is on Apple, Spotify, YouTube and all major platforms.

Investors may be underestimating the optionality of $META AI glasses. In a conversation with Jensen Huang, Mark Zuckerberg laid out the vision — and it’s bigger than most realize. Ray-Ban $META glasses started with a simple constraint: make something that looks great, and fit as much technology as possible within that form factor. Camera, microphone, speakers, live streaming, WhatsApp video calls. But then the unexpected happened — that same sensor package turned out to be exactly what you need to talk to AI. That wasn’t the plan. It happened organically. And it changes the trajectory of the product potential. Zuckerberg’s projection: displayless AI glasses at a ~$300 price point becoming a product that tens — potentially hundreds — of millions of people eventually own. Ambient AI interaction built into something people already wear. Real-time translation. Visual language understanding. Etc. The optionality here is meaningful. $NVDA $EL.PA ___ YouTube: Nvidia | AI and The Next Computing Platforms With Jensen Huang and Mark Zuckerberg (07/29/2024)

Did Meta Make A Big Mistake By Removing PM Modi's Video?? - Amit Dubey Meta did make a major error by temporarily removing Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Facebook video, a move that sparked intense governmental backlash and severe legal warnings in India. In an interview on the channel of popular digital creator RJRaunac, cyber security expert Amit Dubey highlighted how this incident exposed deep flaws in how big tech operates. PM Modi posted a video on July 23 addressing Gen Z students about the NEET paper leak controversy. The video was suddenly blocked and remained unavailable on Facebook for over five hours. Meta initially cited legal obligations, but later blamed an automated AI filter glitch for the accidental takedown. The Indian government and a parliamentary IT panel, led by MP Nishikant Dubey, heavily grilled Meta's global team. They rejected the "technical glitch" excuse, raising questions about potential algorithmic bias and systemic flaws. Loss of Safe Harbour Protection: The Parliamentary Committee warned Meta that it could lose its "safe harbour" immunity under Section 79 of the IT Act if accountability isn't met. This protection shields Meta from legal liability for user-generated content; losing it would expose the company to massive legal vulnerabilities. Demand for Zuckerberg's Apology: While Meta's Global Affairs chief Joel Kaplan conveyed an official apology to IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw, the parliamentary panel has heavily pushed for a personal, written apology from Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg. The incident has significantly damaged Meta’s standing in India its largest global user market reigniting intense national debates around digital sovereignty and the lack of human transparency in big-tech content moderation.

"Introducing Multimodal Llama 3.2": As promised two weeks ago, here's the short course on Meta's latest open model! This short course is created with Meta and taught by Amit Sangani, Director of AI Partner Engineering at Meta. Meta’s Llama family of models is leading the way in open models, allowing anyone to download, customize, fine-tune, or build new applications on top of them. Learn about the vision capabilities of the Llama 3.2, and use it for image classification, prompting, tokenization, tool-calling. You'll also learn about the open-source Llama stack, which gives building blocks for many different stages of the LLM application life cycle. In detail, you’ll: - Learn what are the features of Meta's four newest models, and when to use which Llama model. - Learn best practices for multimodal prompting, with applications to advanced image reasoning, illustrated by many examples: Understanding errors on a car dashboard, adding up the total of photographed restaurant receipts, grading written math homework. - Use different roles—system, user, assistant, ipython—in the Llama 3.1 and 3.2 models and the prompt format that identifies those roles. - Understand how Llama uses the tiktoken tokenizer, and how it has expanded to a 128k vocabulary size that improves encoding efficiency and multilingual support. - Learn how to prompt Llama to call built-in and custom tools (functions) with examples for web search and solving math equations. - Learn about Llama Stack, a standardized interface for common toolchain components like fine-tuning or synthetic data generation, useful for building agentic applications. By the end of this course, you’ll be equipped to build out new applications with the new Llama 3.2.

#WATCH | Mumbai, Maharashtra: On Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg's apology over the temporary removal of PM Modi's video, Cyber Expert Prashant Mali says, "If a social media platform has removed the Prime Minister of India's official video without valid justification, then this is not merely about one individual. It raises serious questions about accountability towards India's democratic institutions. However, I feel the government should deal with this issue strictly within the framework of law and not emotion. If Meta has violated Indian laws, the IT Act, the Intermediary Rules, or any other applicable legal provisions, the government is well within its rights to seek an explanation and initiate legal proceedings if warranted, because that is required. At the same time, Meta also must demonstrate transparency by publicly explaining why the video was taken down and whether this was the result of a human or technical error. An apology and a clear commitment to prevent such incidents in the future would be the responsible course of action. I feel India is one of Meta's largest markets, and every global platform, be it a technology platform or a social media platform, must respect India's laws, democratic institutions, and digital sovereignty. That's very important. Being a sovereign country and respecting digital sovereignty have become two things that Meta is clearly seen not doing here. And I think, henceforth, Meta will respect India's digital sovereignty." (Source: Self-Made)

"This is not the end of VR. It's not collapsing. If you pay attention to what's going to be coming out from Meta and others over the next 12 months, you're going to see a lot of progress." Palmer Luckey gives his latest perspective on the VR industry: John: "How are you thinking about VR these days? Everyone's sort of writing down their investments and pulling back." Palmer: "I will challenge your premise there, which is that people are pulling back. I think that's driven mostly by people sensationalizing Meta firing a bunch of people." "They got rid of 10% of the Reality Labs team in one layoff. Remember that they have something like 8% or 9% annual churn naturally and organically, not including firings. So what you're really talking about is basically pulling six months of churn forward into a single month. And they're still spending more on VR than anybody by an order of magnitude." "Meta and Sony and Apple and Google and all of these other companies are going to be hitting the [Apple Vision Pro] level of visual fidelity. They're going to be doing it with headsets that are far smaller, far lighter than what you see from Vision Pro. And I actually remain very optimistic."

Mark Zuckerberg on the importance of engineers if you’re building a technology company “We never thought about ourselves as a website or a social network or anything like that.” Mark believes many companies define themselves too narrowly: “It’s one of the things I observed as soon as I came out to [Silicon] Valley. All these companies that called themselves technology companies were not really set up that way. The CEO wasn’t technical. The board of directors had no one technical on it… And it’s like alright, if that’s your team, then you’re not a technology company.” He believes there’s a balance: “You don’t want everyone to be an engineer because there’s other things that matter too. But if you don’t have a high enough share of the company as engineers, then you’re not a technology company.” This makes sense when you view it in the context of Mark’s strategy for Meta: “I define our strategy as: If we can learn faster than every other company, we’re going to win. We’re going to build a better product than everyone else because we’re going to get it out first, we’re going to have a good feedback loop, and we’re going to learn what people like better than other people.” He concludes: “I think that’s basically the formula. Be a technology company. Build a good foundation. Learn from what other people are focused on in the world. And iterate as quickly as you can.” Video source: Acquired Podcast (2024)
