*Zuckerberg’s Superintelligence Scam? Meta’s AI Play Might Be Smarter Than You Think…* This week on *They Might Be Self-Aware*, Hunter Powers and Daniel Bishop saddle up for a wild ride through the AI rodeo: from clowns and cranberry juice to Zuckerberg’s billion-dollar brain trust. Are we really heading toward *personal superintelligence* — or is this just another clever PR spin? We break down Mark Zuckerberg’s ambitious plan to develop “personal AI” — a supposed altruistic vision for AI that works *for you*. But is it truly revolutionary, or just a strategic mask for building the most powerful AI team in the world? We dig into Meta’s hiring spree, the reality behind their “superintelligence” narrative, and what it means for the future of human agency and data. Plus, we roast Microsoft Research’s list of “most at-risk” AI jobs — from translators and teachers to… switchboard operators?! Some make sense (travel agents, we see you), but others left us scratching our heads. Oh, and we meet a robot French hostess and a chimpanzee train operator along the way. Whether you're already using AI for work (shh… we won’t tell your boss) or still trying to figure out what “10x productivity” actually means, this episode dives deep into the real-world impact of AI — and the difference between what companies *say* and what they *build*. --- 🎧 *Listen & Subscribe* 📱 Listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3EcvzkWDRFwnmIXoh7S4Mb?si=3d0f8920382649cc 🍎 Subscribe on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/they-might-be-self-aware/id1730993297 ▶️ Subscribe on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCy9DopLlG7IbOqV-WD25jcw?sub_confirmation=1 👍 Like the episode?
