We need better tech billionaires

You know, I would have a bit more confidence in his predictions if it wasn't actually all about the money supposedly to be made by him:

Meta has spent billions of dollars to revamp its artificial intelligence strategy in recent months, including on a new team of researchers dedicated to creating a “superintelligent” A.I.

On Wednesday, Mark Zuckerberg, Meta’s chief executive, told investors why the team would be worth its return on investment.

Superintelligence, which Mr. Zuckerberg defined as an A.I. model more powerful than the human brain, will improve “nearly every aspect of what we do,” he said on a call with investors. The A.I. will help Meta’s advertising business by improving its social media feed to keep users on its apps longer, which is already happening, he said. A.I. will also serve as a personal tool for users to create “a new era of individual empowerment,” he added.

The main way people will interact with superintelligence will be through Meta’s smart glasses, which have cameras and software that can shoot and process videos, Mr. Zuckerberg said. 

It's a little weird, isn't it, that we have one arm of AI researchers and advocates warning everyone that a disaster is coming;  and another arm (the one that stands to make lots and lots of money from it) telling us that it's going to mean we can all retire to the Bahamas (or Mars), or something, while superintelligent AI runs the world for us.

Isn't it hilarious that the Zuck also makes this claim:

“I think that if history is a guide, then an even more important role will be how superintelligence empowers people to be more creative, develop culture and communities, connect with each other, and lead more fulfilling lives,” he said. 

Is he just rehashing what he wrote for the Metaverse investors meeting all of (what?) 5 or 6 years ago?
