In a move that has left the tech world scratching their heads, Meta (formerly known as Facebook) has announced a major investment in AI firm Scale and has recruited its CEO, Alex Wang, to lead their ‘superintelligence’ team.
“We believe that Alex Wang and the team at Scale have the expertise and vision to take our AI capabilities to the next level,” said Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg in a statement. “With their help, we hope to create the most intelligent and sophisticated AI system the world has ever seen.”
When asked about his new role at Meta, Wang responded with a chuckle, “I can’t wait to see what kind of mischief we can get up to with this ‘superintelligence’ team. Who knows, maybe we’ll finally figure out how to make the News Feed algorithm less addictive.”
The news has sparked a mix of excitement and confusion in the tech community, with many wondering what exactly Meta has in store for this new AI team. Some speculate that they are working on a virtual assistant that can answer all of life’s burning questions, while others fear they are building a robot army to take over the world.
One anonymous source close to the situation told us, “I heard that Meta is planning to create an AI system that can predict the future. I mean, who wouldn’t want to know the winning lottery numbers before they’re even drawn?”
In response to the rumors, a Meta spokesperson stated, “While we can’t confirm or deny any specific projects at this time, we can assure you that our ‘superintelligence’ team is working on groundbreaking technology that will revolutionize the way we interact with AI.”
Only time will tell what Meta has in store for their new ‘superintelligence’ team, but one thing is for certain – the tech world will be watching closely to see what kind of mischief they get up to next.
