a personal AI agent for Zuckerberg

by

Mark Zuckerberg spent millions hiring the team of engineers who would lead Meta to compete head-to-head with the AI ​​giants. While we are still waiting for that to happenthe company is advancing in another area that they consider critical and that is the adoption of AI within its own company. This includes a personal agent for your CEO. A personal agent. Zuckerberg imagines a future in which all Meta employees have their own AI agent to help them be more productive, and he’s starting with himself. According to an exclusive from Wall Street JournalMeta is developing a specific AI agent for its CEO. The goal is for Zuckerberg to be able to obtain information faster, avoiding having to go to different people in different departments to get it, like a kind of AI secretary. Target: AI-native. Meta has 78,000 employees spread across countless departments. Having such a complex structure is a disadvantage compared to startups that have much smaller staff in which, in addition, the adoption of AI is present from day one. Zuckerberg believes that having his employees use AI in their work is critical to the company’s future success. During the last earnings call, he said that “We are investing in tools designed specifically for artificial intelligence, so that Meta employees can be more productive. We are enhancing the role of individual collaborators and simplifying the structure of teams. If we do that, I think we will achieve much more and it will be much more fun.” It is evaluable. As reported Business InsiderMeta has included the use of AI within employee performance evaluations starting in 2026. Although it was not mandatory in 2025, employees were highly encouraged and even compensated for those who achieved exceptional results thanks to the use of AI. Additionally, they introduced an “AI Performance Assistant” that helped them write their evaluations. AI Culture. Meta has an internal messaging platform where employees share how they are leveraging AI to be more productive. Some of the tools they are using are My Claw, a kind of OpenClaw who has access to your chat history and can communicate with other colleagues’ My Claw on your behalf. There’s even a group on the internal messaging platform for agents to communicate with each other, which is very reminiscent of Moltbook, the social agent network that Meta recently bought. Another of the tools they are integrating into Meta is called ‘second brain’ and is a hybrid between chatbot and agent. It was created by an employee with Claude and is a kind of “AI staff manager” with whom you can consult documents for projects. Enthusiasm and doubts. On top of all this, the company is also providing AI training and holding hackathons where employees are encouraged to create their own tools to boost their productivity. They say in the Wall Street Journal that while some employees find it “stimulating and fun,” others believe that this insistence and so many changes could be the prelude to new layoffs. And the models? That’s what we would like to know. Meta spent a real million on sign the best AI talentsis building gigantic data centers and at the moment they have launched a total of zero models. The latest information points because the launch of their models has been delayed because their performance is not yet at the level they want. Yet, company results continue to improvemainly thanks to its advertising business. Images | Goal, Unsplash In Xataka | Meta has tried to kill the metaverse after a resounding failure.

Gasoline has risen so much that even Mark Zuckerberg has looked for a low-cost gas station to refuel his yacht: Gibraltar

by

From the start of the war of Iran, filling the car tank has become one of those little dramas everyday things that we all know well. A few euros more, a sigh of resignation, and continue. But there is another refueling scale that makes your complaints at the gas station For those 10 extra euros that it cost you to fill the tank, it almost sounds like a joke. Mark Zuckerberg, founder of Facebook and fifth greatest fortune of the world, owns the launchpada 118 meter superyacht valued at about 300 million dollars. Since the US and Israeli bombs began to fall on Iranian soilfilling your fuel tanks involves an extra cost of $278,880 with each refueling. The most curious thing is that the solution that the tycoon has found is very similar to the one that any citizen with a foot in this price escalation has probably adopted: look for a low-cost gas station. The painful tank to fill Maintaining a luxury superyacht is not cheap, which is why only millionaires can afford it. He launchpad by Mark Zuckerberg has a fuel tank of approximately 420,000 liters. To put it in context, it is the equivalent of the capacity of about 7,000 medium-sized cars at one time. The yacht is equipped with four MTU 20V 4000 M93L engines which, sailing at a cruising speed of 16 knots, consume about 982 liters per hour each. That leaves us with approximate consumption of 4,000 liters of fuel per hour. That is to say, an equivalent consumption 560 cars traveling at 120 km/h or 73 buses. To this we must add that the launchpad He does not travel alone, he does so accompanied by his support yacht, the wingman. Expenses double. The Launchpad has four motors like this According to price data monitored by the specialized portal Ship&Bunker in January 2026, the average price per ton of fuel for yachts (MGO) was $715. Data from March 2026 on this same portal suggest that its price has skyrocketed to $1,379 per ton. This means that filling the fuel tank launchpad In January, Mark Zuckerberg had to pay a bill of just over 300,300 euros, while doing so today It would cost you about 579,180 euros. An extra cost of $278,880 with each refueling in just three months. Gibraltar: low cost gasoline for yachts Faced with such an increase, Mark Zuckerberg and many other wealthy yacht-owning tycoons have done what any neighbor’s son would do in this case: look for low-cost gasoline. In this case, the closest and best located is Gibraltar. As and how they stood out in The CountryGibraltar is not only a strategic rock between the Atlantic and the Mediterranean that Philip V delivered generously to the British. For superyacht owners who frequently cross the ocean, it is the equivalent of a motorway gas station as it is located on the most optimal shipping route to cross the world by sea. For superyachts that, like the launchpad, they just made Its periodic maintenance in the exclusive shipyards of La Ciotat (France), the Strait route is the shortest to go down to the Canary Islands and, from there, head to the warm waters of the Caribbean to meet its owner in Miami. The same thing happens with the reverse route, allowing ships to refuel without deviating from the most optimal route between both continents. He launchpadwhich is more similar to a small cruise ship than a pleasure boat, stops in Gibraltar regularly on its routes between Europe and America. It is not because of the pleasure of its views, but because of the price and the refueling infrastructure for superyachts, cruise ships and large freighters that has created Gibraltar. Its special tax status allows boats over 18 meters to refuel with duty free fuel, making it a mandatory stop for these giants of the sea. It is no coincidence that he is one of the bunkering points busiest in the world, with prices that, even after the escalation following the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, remain lower than in many ports in northern Europe or the eastern Mediterranean.

Zuckerberg in the front row of Prada seems like a mistake in The Matrix, but it’s actually Meta’s biggest statement of intent

by

Any regular attendee of Milan Fashion Week know what to expect in the first row: a perfectly choreographed ecosystem of K-pop idols, internet stars and Hollywood actors with million-dollar contracts. However, at the presentation of the Prada Fall/Winter 2026 women’s collection, a figure appeared which at first glance seemed like a mistake in The Matrix: Mark Zuckerberg. As the magazine points out GQthe usual fashion audience is undergoing a metamorphosis and the technological elite is reclaiming its place in the spotlight, as demonstrated the appearance by Jeff Bezos in Jonathan Anderson’s debut for Dior. However, the founder of Meta did not finish blending in with the environment. As described The Times With a certain British irony, Zuckerberg looked tense in front of the flashes, like “someone who has ever heard of the concept of sitting on a bench, but has never tried it,” awkwardly spreading his fingers over his pants and not really knowing where to look as the models paraded. But what are the Silicon Valley elite doing there? Despite its recent change of image – which some have dubbed the Zuckaissanceleaving behind his uniform of gray t-shirts for Balenciaga clothes and gold chains—his presence in Milan does not respond to the mere whim of a shopping tourist. It’s a top-notch corporate chess move. As detailed The Timesthe key was in the seating arrangement (the coveted Frow either front row). Zuckerberg was not placed next to any random celebrity, but strategically shoulder to shoulder with Lorenzo Bertelli, Prada’s marketing director and son of designer Miuccia Prada. At his side, his wife, Priscilla Chan, shared confidences with none other than Andrea Guerra, executive director of the Italian brand. Besides, they fulfilled the aesthetic duties completely changing her style for the sobriety of Prada. lhaute couture as a Trojan horse. All this social choreography points in a single commercial direction. According to the CNBCMeta and Prada are collaborating closely to launch luxury smart glasses powered by artificial intelligence. The corporate bridge that connects Silicon Valley with Milan is already built. Goal has been collaborating for years successfully with EssilorLuxottica, the Franco-Italian giant that manufactures the current Ray-Ban Meta. Glasses that, by the way, will reach the not inconsiderable figure of 7 million units sold in 2025. Given that EssilorLuxottica has just renewed its licensing agreement with Prada until the 2030s, the triangulation of the business is evident. The goal of this maneuver is to legitimize personal surveillance technology through exclusivity. As explained TechCrunch, Bringing AI to high fashion fills a niche that more sporty or casual brands like Oakley and Ray-Ban can’t reach. Consolidating these glasses as a symbol of status and luxury is the definitive step to benefit the global image of the Meta brand. The technological muscle behind the design. For a Prada product to make sense, the technology inside cannot fail, and this is where the specialized technology media provides the crucial context. As explained in an in-depth analysis by my colleague Lacort in Xatakahe hardware The current Ray-Ban Meta is brilliant—fantastic as speakers and great as a discreet camera—but its software is the weak link. Your “Meta AI” assistant currently feels like a “clueless intern” suffering from a lack of context and erratic responses. To solve this and live up to a luxury label, Meta has taken out the checkbook. Another recent report by Xataka details that the company has just signed a multi-million dollar agreement with NVIDIA to acquire its new generation of server infrastructure (the Rubin architecture and Grace processors). Mark Zuckerberg knows that to sell the glasses of the future he needs to achieve what he calls “personal superintelligence”, processing data in real time without the current glitches, whatever the cost. The elephant in the room. Despite the change of look and multi-million dollar investment, Meta faces a challenge that fashion cannot easily hide. Just a few days before sitting on the catwalk, the owner of Meta was testifying in a Los Angeles courtroom in a landmark trial over social media addiction. Most ironic of all, the judge threatened to hold her team in contempt for showing up in the courtroom wearing Meta glasses equipped with a camera, in a place where recording is prohibited. As he warns TechCrunch, Prada glasses will arrive at a time of growing citizen rejection of constant surveillance devices. Society is beginning to react against invasive technology. The rejection is so real that, as the media highlights, there is already a developer who has created a mobile application exclusively to notify you if someone around you is wearing AI glasses. This raises serious doubts about whether Meta will dare to incorporate controversial features such as facial recognition, something that The New York Times He already suggested that it was under study. Does the devil wear Prada? At the end of the parade, one detail did not go unnoticed. As observed Business InsiderZuckerberg was not wearing his signature Meta smart glasses while sitting in the front row. And he didn’t need it. The photograph of him sitting next to Prada’s leadership was the message in itself. Silicon Valley has finally understood that to convince millions of people to wear a camera, microphone and AI on their faces every day, design matters as much as microchips. The next great technological revolution will not be announced in an aseptic California auditorium with a presenter in jeans; It is being decided right now, under the spotlight on the Milan catwalk.

The trial against Meta increasingly resembles that of tobacco. Zuckerberg has sworn things that his internal documents contradict

by

Mark Zuckerberg has been testifying under oath in Los Angeles in what is already considered the largest trial in history against a social network. And each session leaves uncomfortable headlines for Meta. What is happening. A Los Angeles court judges whether Instagram is a platform designed to hook minors. The plaintiff, a 20-year-old woman identified as KGM, alleges that she became addicted to Instagram when she was nine years old and that it ruined her mental health during her adolescence. It is not the only case, since behind this trial there are more than 1,600 plaintiffshundreds of families and more than 250 school districts with similar complaints against Meta, YouTube, TikTok and Snap. These last two reached a financial agreement before the trial began. Meta and Google are still in. Tobacco. The parallel that is most repeated in the American media is that of the tobacco companies in the nineties, since the companies that knew about the damage caused by their products hid it and paid for the consequences decades later in court. Here the accusation holds that Meta designed features like the infinite scroll‘likes’, push notifications… All with the deliberate objective of maximizing the time that users spent in the app, including minors. The company’s internal documents are being the heaviest ammunition in the trial. What those documents say. During cross-examination, the plaintiff’s attorney, Mark Lanier, was presenting emails and internal messages from Meta before the jury. One of the most striking: a researcher from the company itself wrote in an email that “Instagram is a drug… we are basically traffickers,” according to shared the Financial Times. Another document, from 2018, estimated that in 2015 there were four million users under the age of 13 on Instagram, which was equivalent to approximately 30% of all American children between 10 and 12 years old. Zuckerberg had declared before Congress that minors under that age could not use the platform. Where the testimony squeaks. Zuckerberg insisted before the jury that Meta never aimed to maximize the time users spent in the app, that the company focuses on long-term “value” and “utility.” The problem is that the accusation brought to the table emails of his from between 2013 and 2022 in which this increase in screen time appears explicitly as an internal goal. He also presented documents from Adam Mosseri, director of Instagram, with specific objectives: reaching 40 minutes of daily use in 2023 and 46 minutes in 2026. Zuckerberg responded that these data are “milestones” to measure results, not objectives in themselves. lyou filters. One of the most tense moments of the statement came with questions about Instagram filters, you know, the ones that users can apply to their face through the camera. In 2019, Meta temporarily suspended them to study its impact. 18 experts consulted by the company itself concluded that they caused well-being problems, especially among adolescents, with effects linked to body dysmorphia. Zuckerberg decided to lift the restriction as well. At the trial he explained that he preferred “to err on the side of giving people the opportunity to express themselves” and that the restrictions seemed “paternalistic” to him. The prosecution also showed the jury an email from Margaret Stewart, then vice president of product design at Meta, warning that, although he would comply with Zuckerberg’s decision, he did not believe it was “the right decision given the risks.” Between the lines. What makes this trial especially delicate for Meta is not only what Zuckerberg says now, but the distance between that story and what has been revealed over time through internal documentation and emails. The accusation opts for a strategy in order to show that the company knew about it, that it discussed it internally and that it still prioritized the growth of its platform. What is at stake? Goal. An unfavorable ruling in Los Angeles would not only be an economic blow, as it would set a precedent for thousands of similar lawsuits that are waiting in courts across the country (and around the globe, perhaps). For now, there are similar cases planned for this summer in Northern California, focused on the impact on schools, and another trial already underway in New Mexico where the state attorney general accuses Meta of failing to protect minors from sexual predators on its platforms. “For the first time, Meta’s CEO will have to sit before a jury, under oath, and explain why the company launched a product that its own safety teams warned was addictive and harmful to children,” counted Matt Bergman, attorney representing hundreds of plaintiffs. And now what. The trial is expected to last until the end of March, according to they count from Bloomberg. Meta maintains its defense on two fronts: that science does not prove that social networks are addictive and that Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act exempts them from responsibility for the content that users publish. The prosecution, however, insists that the case is not about content, but about deliberate decisions about how the application is built.

for Mark Zuckerberg to leave California

Jeff Bezos is not going to be the only technology mogul patrolling the warm waters from Florida with his imposing superyacht. Everything indicates that Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan are preparing to change zip codes and move to Miami from California, as published The Wall Street Journal. The founder of Facebook could have found a mansion on the exclusive artificial island Billionaire Bunkerwhere you will have Jeff Bezos, Tom Brady or Ivanka Trump or Julio Iglesias as neighbors. Like other millionaires settled in California, Zuckerberg is not moving for the climate or the views, but rather he is doing so in the midst of the debate over new wealth taxes on West Coast millionaires. The Zuckerberg family packs its bags. According what was published by BloombergMark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan are in the process of purchasing an oceanfront mansion in Indian Creek, off the coast of Miami, for an estimated price between $150 and $200 million. The operation is considered one of the most expensive in the history of Miami-Dade County, despite the exclusive nature and privacy of Indian Creek, means that the few mansions that come on the market in that location reach prices well above the average. Sources of The Wall Street Journal they assure that the mansion that Mark Zuckerberg would be negotiating for is recently completed, on a plot that is almost one hectare of land and access from the sea. The “billionaire bunker”. Indian Creek is an artificial island in Biscayne Bay, off Miami, that was conceived almost as a residential bunker (hence its nickname “Billionaire bunker”) with a single road that connects it to the rest of the keys. The island is divided into about fifty plots facing the sea, located around a large golf course. The extreme security and level of discretion offered to its residents, far above that of a conventional gated community, make Indian Creek a perfect place for the privacy of large fortunes. Among the residents already settled on the island are figures like Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner, who own a beachfront plot for which they paid about $32 million, while others like Tom Brady or Carl Icahn reinforce the idea that this is less of a neighborhood and more of a private club for the ultra-rich. In fact, Mark Zuckerberg’s mansion is very close to the two adjoining mansions that Jeff Bezos bought, and that now is reforming to join them. California squeezes the ultra-rich, Florida rubs its hands. Rumors of Zuckerberg’s move to Miami come while an initiative to apply a single 5% wealth tax net of those who exceed 1,000 million dollars. This measure would affect to about 200 billionaires who live in that state. Most of these great fortunes are from the sphere of Silicon Valley and big technology, although some of these millionaires, like Jensen Huang, have assured have no problem paying more taxes. Several billionaires, including Peter Thiel or Larry Pagehave already abandoned California due to the threat of this tax. He California exodus to other states with more lax fiscal policies is not something new. Figures like Jeff Bezos or Elon Musk already changed zip code more than a year ago, establishing their new residence in Florida and Texas respectively.

The PSOE wants Mark Zuckerberg to appear in the Congress of Deputies. It is a gesture towards the gallery

by

The PSOE wants to investigate a “possible massive violation of the privacy of millions of users” uncovered a few months ago and to do so has requested the presence of several Meta executives in Congressamong whom is its CEO Mark Zuckerberg. The problem is that it is entirely unlikely that your request will be fulfilled. what has happened. The PSOE registered the request in Congress last Wednesday the 4th. In addition to Mark Zuckerberg, they also request the presence of Javier Oliván, head of operations at Meta, and José Luis Zimmerman, director of public affairs at Meta in Spain and Portugal. They count in The Countrythat during an intervention at the Metafuturo forum, the President of the Government assured that “in Spain, the law is above any algorithm or big technology. And whoever violates our rights will pay the consequences.” The reasons. everything comes following an investigation directed a few months ago by the group IMDEA Networks in which they accused Meta of spying on users through their Android apps. Specifically, they claim that Facebook and Instagram spy on the traffic that comes from the browser, evading Android permissions, allowing users to know their browsing habits even if they use the browser’s incognito mode. Meta would have carried out this practice for at least a year, starting in September 2024. The reality. How likely is it that Zuckerberg will set foot in the Congress of Deputies? From little to nothing, and the PSOE knows it. It is not the first time that a country requests the appearance of the CEO of Meta in its institutions. In 2018 Five countries came together requesting their presence in the United Kingdom to investigate Facebook’s disinformation and electoral influence after the Cambridge Analytica scandal. They were the United Kingdom, Canada, Argentina, Ireland and Australia. Meta’s response was “it is not possible for Mr. Zuckerberg to be available to all Parliaments.” Richard Allan, who was then vice president of political solutions at Meta, attended in his place. What will surely happen. In a statement published by EFEMeta has assured that he will collaborate “constructively with the authorities in this matter”, but at the moment they have not said anything about who will attend. In its request, the PSOE names two other Meta officials. It’s as if they admitted knowing that Zuckerberg won’t go and directly put a second and third option. The profile with the most votes to go to Congress is José Luis Zimmerman, who, as we said, is responsible for public affairs in Spain and Portugal. Zuckerberg’s appearances. The CEO of Meta has sat in front of politicians in the United States on several occasions, the first time in 2018 at the Capitol for the Cambridge Analytica scandal. A year later he returned to give explanations about Facebook’s cryptocurrency, Libra. In 2021 he had to answer questions about the role of social networks in the spread of hoaxes and extremist ideas. Outside the United States he has only appeared once, it was in 2018 in the European Parliamentwhere he was harshly criticized for avoiding many issues.

The weirdest thing that Mark Zuckerberg was carrying in his presentation of the Ray-Ban Meta Display were not the glasses

by

During the last goal presentation, the brand revealed its new technology of connected glasses. On stage, Mark Zuckerberg made a master of ceremonies presenting in the first person the new glasses and did so equipped with the Integrated screen glassesas well as with the bracelet in your right hand that captures the movements of your fingers to control the functions of the glasses. However, while we were all looked at the operation of that technological pairnobody paid attention to what the meta -founding millionaire dressed in his left wrist: a rare watchmaking piece valued at more than $ 585,000. Hidden. While all worldwide attention focused on the technology of the new Ray-Ban Display glasses and the innovative bracelet designed to control them, Mark Zuckerberg managed to hide an even more unusual accessory than glasses with screen: a rare Swiss clock Greubel Forsey Nano Foudroyante Ewt valued at more than $ 585,000. It is not the first time that the millionaire chooses an exclusive piece of these Watchmaking artisans Switzerland to make some important announcement of the company. On the occasion of the announcement of changes in the moderation of target content, Zuckerberg chose a Greubel Forsey Hand Made 1 Tourbillona totally handmade piece of the Swiss watchmaker valued at about $ 900,000. A “rare avis” of collection. The Greubel Forsey Nano Foudroyante EWT (Experimental Watch Technology), one of the most unique and advanced pieces ever produced by the renowned firm. Highlights the level of crafts and complexity of its manufacture, with 428 components inside and an extremely limited annual production, since only 11 units have been manufactured for this first version, making each specimen an ultra exclusive rarityas Zuckerberg himself confessed to Drip in a later interview. According to the experts in the fieldhis greatest technological merit is found in his Foudroyante or “steering second.” The seconder is one of the elements that consumes the most energy in a clock since it requires that the hands of a complete return every second. However, Greubel Forsey has applied nanomechanics to reduce the size of that mechanism by consummating 1,800 times less energy to function than a conventional clock. Nanomechanics and High Watches. As indicated in The page From the manufacturer, Nano Foudroyante Ewt is the result of twenty years of investigations of Greubel Forsey, and his innovation with the functioning of the seconder It is qualified as his tenth “fundamental invention.” In this case, its milestone has been to get energy not measured in joules, it is that the mechanism is managed on a nanojulios scale. The technological advance of this model, not only affects its electrical consumption, but also the miniaturization also affects the size of the components, making the clock the most compact that has come out of its workshops, with only 37.9 mm in cash diameter and a 31 mm movement. With an innovation in each hand. The image of Mark Zuckerberg with the bracelet that controls the operation of the Ray-Ban Meta Display on a doll and the very rare Greubel Forsey clock in the other, is full of symbolism. A little over a year ago, this presentation would have made a Mark Zuckerberg dressed in Gray t -shirt and blue cowboy pantswithout more complement than the one presented by goal. On this occasion, on the other hand, an innovative company is presented that does not hesitate to ally with companies from other sectors such as Essilorluxotics to continue innovating. Who knows, if one day target dares to enter the field of smartwatches, maybe he does it from Greubel Forensy. In Xataka | The second -hand luxury watches market was in crisis.

Mark Zuckerberg doesn’t care to lose $ 200,000 million in AI. The real risk would not be betting on it, ensures

by

“We are going to invest aggressively. Even if we lost a couple of hundreds of billions of dollars it would be an annoyancebut it is better than being left behind in the race for superintelligence. “Those words recently pronounced Mark Zuckerberg, Meta CEO. The founder of Facebook does not tend to shake his hand when making risky technological bets. He already knows what it is to lose them: Metaverso is being a failure for the moment, but even if he does not seem to want to leave that bet. The company continues to invest in it even though It is estimated which has already lost 45,000 million dollars in that project. But for him the commitment to AI, although it seems exorbitant, is almost mandatory strategically. In the interview In the Podcast Access The Meta CEO explained how In fact the Risk for a company as a goal would not be aggressive enough. In the recent Trump dinner With the great leaders of the technological segment in the US, Zuckerberg promised to invest at least 600,000 million dollars in the United States until 2028. Analysts believe that The numbers do not fit: It is estimated that Meta will invest about 80,000 million dollars in the US in the second half of 2025 (including all its expenses). That would make it necessary that from 2026 to 2028 he spent 520,000 million, but experts do not see it feasible and some They think than these comments They are more business marketing than anything else. But what is true is that both goal and other large technology companies are investing extraordinary amounts of money in this field. We already saw that Capex’s forecasts of some of them are huge in 2025 due to that commitment to AI data centers: Amazon: 100,000 Millions of dollars Microsoft: 80,000 Millions of dollars Google: 75,000 Millions of dollars Goal: 65,000 Millions of dollars Apple: 12,000 Millions of dollars Thus, Mark Zuckerberg is not too frightened to lose 200,000 million dollars in AI, but he also knows what is something like that. In April 2024 their financial results were so disastrous That their shares suddenly 19%, which was equivalent precisely to a drop in the stock market capitalization of 200,000 million dollars. Of course, Meta recovered. In that downturn the goal shares were just 500 dollars. Today and a half later, they are at maximum, $ 778. The company has stumbled in the past, but Zuckerberg has risen again and again AI bubble: “I think there is definitely the possibility, at least empirically, based on large infrastructure constructions of the past and how they led to bubbles.” And even so, Zuckerberg is clear that this is a critical moment for this technology and it is better to bet on the big not to do it and lose. For him going too slow can make you lose a privilege position, and that would be fatal because according to him “it will be the most important technology that will allow the greatest number of new products, innovation and creation of value in history.” In Xataka | Big Tech have buried thousands and billions in AI.

Three years after the Fiasco del Metaverso, Zuckerberg has another burning nail for the goal: digital glasses

by

Mark Zuckerberg believes that in 2030 we will not get the smartphone out of his pocket because We will do almost everything from the glasses. That is his particular new obsession, and he has all the meaning of the world because Meta is in a delicate position. And if one It is cornered In the future that does not control, better create one that can control. Glasses, glasses and more glasses. The presentation this week of the promising Goal Ray-Ban Display and his small sisters (Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 2) and Oakley Meta Vanguard) It is a clear message to the world. Zuckerberg He sees us all Taking glasses in the future, and the new options of their connected glasses are precisely aimed not only to make them more with them, but to get more and more forget about the device that has governed our life for two decades: the smartphone. An event to redraw the target of Meta. In the presentation event of the Zuckerberg glasses, he also confirmed that new silent transformation of his company, which first focused on social networks and then bet on everything to the Metaverso. Now the proposal is different and Zuckerberg made it clear in the event saying the following: “Our goal is to create glasses with an attractive design that offer personal superintelligence and a sense of presence through realistic holograms. The combination of these ideas is what we call” metaverso. “ Metaverso V2.0. Suddenly the metaverse now is different from that before. In that metaverso that seemed A bad copy of Wii Sports We have moved to another in which virtual reality is totally displaced. Four years ago, when Facebook changed its name by goal, there was not even talk of artificial intelligence as part of that platform. Now it is a fundamental part, logically. Metaverso 1.0 – who is careful, is still alive and Also losing money– It has remained In the background. Killing smartphone is going to be (very) difficult. Of course, we will need a device in which to be able to do all those things that Zuckerberg proposes, now the candidate is in many cases the mobile. If not as the center of experience, yes as an important element. Will the smartphone give prominence to the glasses or other hardware products? It seems difficultbut of course both goal and others – Hello, OpenAI+Jony Ive– They are willing to achieve that goal. It is normal: if they achieve it, they can control something they have ever managed to control: the hardware. But. If something has characterized Mark Zuckerberg it is his ease to change focus. After the success of Facebook later seemed to focus much more on WhatsApp Supervitaminar –Do you remember Libra?– Or Instagram. Then, of course, his obsession with metoverso would arrive, and more recently With superintelligence and AI glasses. If there is a new technological fever, the Facebook founder usually goes for it. What will be next? And it will have a lot of competition. It is not that Zuckeberg achieves that we use the glasses more than the phone: no one is going to let it do it alone. Google works tirelessly on Android XR and has already shown us that you will have products in this segment, and Apple also seems convinced that the shots will go here. Not to mention Amazon or – major words – of Chinese manufacturers. All of them are going to put it very difficult at the finish line, but one thing is true: if they manage to move the mobile focus on the glasses, there at least they will predictably have part of the cake.

Zuckerberg already has his superintelligence team. It also has many employees angered by the abysmal salaries difference

by

Imagine that you have been working in a company for many years and hire a new team, which is dedicated to the same as you, but charges much more. I wouldn’t make any grace. This is what is happening in goal after the arrival of the new superintelligence team and its millionaire salaries. Zuckerberg has spent summer hiring the best talents of AI And now that he has them, he faces a problem: get everyone to be happy. Page more. As reported in the Wall Street Journalone of the consequences after the formation of the superintelligence team has been that the most veteran employees have begun to compete for new positions and salary increases. An employee who achieved a millionaire bonus left anyway because he thought the new ones continued to win more than him. Privileges. The new team, to which TBD Lab have baptized, works at the finish line in Menlo Park, in a restricted access zone very close to the office of Zuckerberg himself and their names do not even appear in the organization chart of the company. The secretism surrounding the project and these security measures are creating the perception that there is a distinction between employees. Counteroffertes. Some unhappy employees went to the competition in search of new opportunities and got a counterofferte by the goal to stay. According to the Wall Street Journal, some got important increases and even moved to the TBD Lab team. Meta has denied it, ensuring that they already planned to move those employees. Resignations.
