Zuck's billion-dollar bet on superintelligence sounds exactly as unhinged as it should

A Facebook post by Mark Zuckerberg announcing Meta's new 'Compute' initiative, featuring plans to build massive computing infrastructure (tens to hundreds of gigawatts). The post outlines leadership assignments and mentions delivering 'personal superintelligence' to billions. The image captures a classic corporate announcement with tech-bro energy, positioned above a carousel of various creative/artistic stories. Extracted text: Create story TIMEWHEEL Ewa Tapolska London Electricity AmiaFelicia Sound Metaphors Mark Zuckerberg 4h Today we're establishing a new top-level initiative called Meta Compute. Meta is planning to build tens of gigawatts this decade, and hundreds of gigawatts or more over time. How we engineer, invest, and partner to build this infrastructure will become a strategic advantage. This effort will be led by Santosh Janardhan and Daniel Gross. Santosh will continue to lead our technical architecture, software stack, silicon program, developer productivity, and building and operating our global datacenter fleet and network. Daniel will lead a new group responsible for long-term capacity strategy, supplier partnerships, industry analysis, planning, and business modeling. They will work closely with Dina Powell McCormick, who just joined Meta as President and Vice Chairman to work on partnering with governments and sovereigns to build, deploy, invest in, and finance Meta's infrastructure. I'm looking forward to working closely with Daniel, Santosh, Dina and their teams to scale Meta Compute and deliver personal superintelligence to billions of people around the world. 64K 19.2K comments 1.8K shares
