So I'd love to start with these.

10 years of work right there.

Someone on your team call these the real life Tony Stark glasses.

Very hard to make each one of these.

That makes me feel incredibly optimistic.

In a world where AI gets smarter and smarter, this is probably going to be the next major platform after phones.

I miss hugging my mom.

Yeah, haptics is hard.

How does generative AI change how social media feels?

We haven't found the end yet.

The average American has fewer friends now than they did 15 years ago.

Why do you think that's happening?

I mean, there's a lot going on to unpack there.

I'm about to interview Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg.

Mark Zuckerberg.

There are not that many people with more power over what our future might look like.

Nearly half the total human population now uses Meta products.

And I just tested some of their new tech that feels like science fiction.

Stop!

This is crazy.

Mark Zuckerberg and the team at Meta are imagining a future that billions of other people might actually end up living in.

So my goal for this conversation is to try to figure out what that future really looks like.

To paint a picture of the future Mark Zuckerberg is trying to build, so that you can decide for yourself what you think of it.

Welcome to the first episode of our new series, Huge Conversations.

Awesome.

I'd love to tell you what my goal is of this conversation.

Go for it.

So we have a show called Huge If True, which is this very optimistic show about science and technology and the potential futures that we can build.

and in every episode we're sort of exploring what does it look like if you play a certain technological future out.

And so my goal in this conversation is to try to help people see the future

that you're imagining when you're building the products that you and the meta team are building.

What are you imagining this looks like in the future?

How are you imagining people use this?

All of that.

Yeah.

Cool.

Awesome.

So I'd love to start with these.

Let's do it.

10 years of work right there.

I got to demo them a little bit earlier today.

I heard someone on your team call these the real life Tony Stark glasses.

We're getting there.

But I'd love to just hear in your voice, what are these?

Well, these are the first full holographic augmented reality glasses, I think, that exist in the world.

We've made, I think it's a few thousand or something, right? very hard to make each one of these

but this is the culmination of 10 years of research

and development that we've done to basically miniaturize all the computing

that you need to have glasses not a headset but glasses

that can put full holograms into the world with a wide field of view

so you can imagine sort of in the future we'd be having a version of this conversation where you know, maybe I or you are not even here.

It's like one of us is physically here and the other one is here as a, as kind of a full body hologram.

And it's not just a video call.

You can actually interact.

You can do things.

I mean, in the demo, we had the, you know, ping pong and games and things like that.

But I mean, you could, you can interact, you can work together, you can, you know, play poker, play chess, whatever, like the holographic cards, holographic board game.

I just think it's going to be wild.

It's going to remake, I think,

so many different fields that we think about today from how we work and productivity to a lot of things around science,

a lot of things around education, entertainment, fun, gaming.

But this is just the beginning.

This is the first version.

It's a prototype version that we've made in order to develop the next version, which is hopefully going to be the consumer one that we sell to a lot of people.

Why build this?

Well, I think it's going to be the next major computing platform.

So if you look at like the grand arc of computing over time,

you've gone from like mainframes to computers that basically like live on your desk

or on a tower to phones that you have in your hand that you basically like, you know, can take with you everywhere that you want, but it's pretty unnatural, right?

It takes you away from the world around you.

And I think that the trend in computing is it gets more ubiquitous,

it gets more natural, and it just gets more social, right?

So you want to be able to interact with people in the world around you

and I think that this is probably gonna be the next major platform after phones.

Look at these two.

These are the clear ones that show all the technology.

Yeah, the whole thing is a special edition and this is like a really special edition.

There's not a single millimeter of.. space.

It's, you know, everything in here from the micro projectors that basically shoot light into the waveguides, right?

It's a special type of display system.

I mean, these aren't normal displays like you have in a phone or a TV or computer, like the type of displays that people have been building for decades.

It's a waveguide system.

The projector that's shooting light basically goes into these nano etchings across the waveguide that are what catches and creates the holograms.

In order to synchronize that with where you're looking, there's eye tracking and little cameras.

They illuminate your eyes.

And then, of course, there's all the basic stuff that you need, all the computing, the batteries to power the whole thing, microphones,

the speakers, because it needs to be able to play audio

and speak with you and the cameras

and sensors to see things around you in the world so

that way when it's placing holograms in the world it can do

that in the right place and understand where you are so

that probably is still not covering everything because there's a lot of things

that need to go into syncing up the holographic images between the two displays

because you don't just have a single display like you have in a phone

or TV you have two and it moves around and you know physical things are hard and need to be synced up.

There's also the radio that has to communicate with your other computing devices to do heavier computing

and the wrist -based neural interface that you probably got to try out.

We kind of miniaturized all of this

and fit it into you know normal looking pair of glasses

100

which is you know when I told the team

101

that we're going to do this ten years ago you know people weren't sure if we were going to be able to.

102

But I think not only are we going to be able to do this, but I think we're going to be able to get it cheaper

103

and higher quality and even smaller and more stylish over time.

104

So I think this is going to be a pretty wild future.

105

There are so many versions of trying to get a similar idea of digital objects in physical space.

106

I'm thinking of, for example, glasses that have heads -up displays where it's headlocked

107

and it's moving with my eyes glasses that are really creating digital objects in physical space that don't move as I move.

108

I'm thinking of these.

109

I'm also thinking of the Snapchat spectacles that they just announced.

110

Then, on the other hand, there are headsets like the Quest and also like the Apple Vision Pro that seem to fall into a different category.

111

I'm curious how you would organize this landscape for people

112

and how you think about people using these tools in their real lives in the near future.

113

Yeah, so when we were getting started on this about 10 years ago, I thought that something like this was going to be the ultimate product for everyone.

114

You get to a normal looking pair of glasses, and we'll continue improving that, that can have full holographic images.

115

I think it's super powerful and it is sort of the science fiction future

116

that I think we all hope to get to.

117

On the journey, we took a few other approaches as well to help us develop towards that,

118

including building glasses that don't have displays to try to learn just take a stylish pair of glasses today

119

and put as much technology into it as you can

120

but really focus on the form factor and that's the ray -ban meta glasses

121

and it's doing really well and initially we thought that

122

that was sort of intro product for us to learn how to build this

123

but one of the things that's clear now is you're going to be able to make

124

that product a lot more affordable than this, probably permanently.

125

So I actually think that there are going to be a bunch of different of these paths

126

that we've taken are going to be kind of permanent product lines that people will choose.

127

I think you'll see displayless glasses like the Ray -Ban metas continue to get better and better.

128

Great for AI.

129

No display, but you can talk to it.

130

It can talk back.

131

I think there's going to be something in between these that's basically a heads up display.

132

So it's not a 70 degree field of view.

133

Maybe it's a 20 degree or 30 degree field of view.

134

So that's not going to be what you want for putting kind of a full hologram of a person

135

or interacting with the world around you.

136

But it's going to be great for, you know, when you're talking to AI, not just having voice, but also being able to see what it's saying.

137

Or being able to text someone with your wrist based neural interface

138

and then have their text show up rather than having it read to you, which is we read faster than we can listen.

139

Or getting directions right or I'm just being able to search for information

140

and get all that So there's a lot of value for a heads -up display

141

that will be somewhat more expensive than the displayless glasses

142

But somewhat cheaper than this then I think you're gonna get this it's going to be

143

Probably the most premium and an expensive of the glasses products, but hopefully still something that you know,

144

like a computer, is generally accessible to most people in the world.

145

But I think that there are going to be all of those, and I think people will like them.

146

I also think that the headsets that people are using around mixed reality will continue to be a thing, too, because no matter how good we get at miniaturizing the tech for this,

147

you're just going to be able to fit more compute into a full headset.

148

Fundamentally, our mission is not build something that is advanced and only a few people can use.

149

We want to take it the last mile and do all the innovation to get it to everyone.

150

We just shipped or announced Quest 3S, the new mixed reality headset.

151

We basically are delivering high quality mixed reality for $299.

152

I was really proud last year when we delivered Quest 3, the first kind of really high quality,

153

high resolution color mixed reality device for $500.

154

It's like a fraction of the cost of what the competitors are doing.

155

And I think it's actually higher quality in a lot of ways.

156

And now we've just doubled down on that.

157

So I think that they're all actually going to end up being important long -term product lines.

158

Display lists, heads -up display, full holographic AR, full headsets.

159

I think that they're all going to be important.

160

Yeah.

161

If you play out the future of not just the hardware that we've been talking about.

162

So, Meta Ray -Bans, Quest, Orion, but also the Llama models.

163

If everything goes according to you and the team's wildest dreams.

164

I'd love for you to just begin to describe what that feels like.

165

Sure.

166

I mean, I think that there are two primary values that we're trying to bring.

167

On the AR and kind of mixed reality side, the main value we're trying to bring is this feeling of presence.

168

So there's something that I think is just really deep about being physically present with another person

169

that you don't get from any other technology today.

170

And I think that's the thing when people have a very visceral reaction to experiencing virtual or mixed reality.

171

What they're really reacting to is that they actually, for the first time with technology, feel a sense of presence.

172

Like they're in a place with a person.

173

And that's super powerful.

174

Like I focused on designing social apps and experiences for 20 years.

175

That's sort of like the holy grail of

176

that is being able to build a technology platform that delivers this like deep sense of social presence.

177

The other big track is around personalized AI.

178

And for that, and that's sort of where Lama and MetAI and all those things are going.

179

There's all this development that's going into making the models smarter

180

and smarter over time but I think where this is gonna get really compelling is

181

when it's personalized for you

182

and in order for it to be personalized for you it has to have context

183

and understand what's going on in your life both kind of at a global level

184

and like what's physically happening around you right now

185

and in order to do that I think

186

that glasses are going to be the ideal form factor

187

because they're positioned on your face in a way where they can let them see what you see

188

and hear what you hear, which are the two most important senses that we use for kind of taking an information and context about the world.

189

I think that this is all going to be kind of really deep and profound stuff.

190

But it's basically those two things.

191

It's this feeling of presence and this capability of really personalized intelligence that can help you.

192

I'd love to talk about each of those two things.

193

The first on presence, I owe a lot to being able to connect with people online, right? this job

194

that i have is by definition yeah yeah also with my

195

family my parents don't live anywhere close to me i video call them a lot

196

and when i think about the progress of technology like this

197

in a timeline from like the telegram to the telephone to

198

video call to some feeling of presence with another person who's feels like they're right there in front of me

199

that makes me feel incredibly optimistic i would love a future

200

where like i can lose in scrabble to my mom

201

and feel like she's really there in front of me yeah

202

and it feels like we're not that far away from something i agree

203

that persuades my brain that that's happening yeah totally and also i miss

204

hugging my mom right like that never goes away yeah haptics is hard yeah

205

and so my question is And my question is about that.

206

It's about this feeling of like,

207

it's hard for me to imagine a future where real physical presence is not different and special in some way,

208

where I don't miss literally hugging my mom.

209

And I'm curious how you think about the parts of human connection

210

that are eye contact and physical touch and things that our eight brains value for connection with other people.

211

Mm -hmm.

212

Yeah, well, eye contact I think we're going to get to a lot before the touch part.

213

For haptics, I do think we'll make progress on that, but it's obviously there's a spectrum there too from kind of hands, which is where

214

if you draw out the kind of like homunculus version of

215

a person in terms of like what are our kind of sensory, you know, what's like the majority of what we're sensing.

216

Yeah, it looks funny.

217

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

218

So I think being able to do that for your hands is probably the most important place to start.

219

And you have a rough version of that with controllers today.

220

I think that'll get even more over time.

221

We have this demo playing ping pong where you have a controller where as the digital ball hits the ping pong paddle,

222

you feel it hit as if it's hitting the ping pong paddle wherever it is.

223

So you actually have a sense of where it's hitting the paddle.

224

So I think that was just a wild demo.

225

So I think we'll get some of that.

226

The most extreme version of this is wanting force feedback, right?

227

So, I mean, like for doing a lot of sports, right, it's like, okay,

228

we can kind of do a good approximation of like boxing today where you get like good feedback on your hands.

229

But it would be hard to do a virtual reality version of jujitsu where you're like grappling with someone

230

and you need like real kind of force feedback on it.

231

So that's probably like the hardest thing to go do.

232

But I think we'll get there.

233

You know, I think like most science fiction, it's not this binary thing that you just like wake up one day and we're like, oh, we've realized all the dreams.

234

But I do think that these platforms are going to be the first time

235

that I think that there's a realistic sense of presence in all the ways

236

that that's special to people for most things that people want to do, which are not the most physical ones.

237

And even some of the basic physical ones I think we'll get.

238

But then there's a long tail of other stuff.

239

I mean smell is also really important for people.

240

Yeah.

241

Right?

242

I think it's disproportionately important for memories.

243

And that's not really a thing

244

that I think in the next few years we're going to have in any of these devices.

245

I mean that's a very difficult and challenging thing on its own.

246

What is the piece of that that you feel most interested in that you keep coming back to in your mind?

247

This has the frustrating property to develop

248

that the sense of presence is almost like when you're designing something that that's sort of trying to artificially deliver it.

249

You're delivering an illusion to a person and more than any one thing that provides a sense of presence.

250

It's actually more the case

251

that any one thing done wrong breaks the sense of presence you kind of know that you're interacting with technology,

252

but it's so convincing that you just kind of go along with it.

253

And you're like, okay, yeah, no, this person feels like they're there.

254

When I did that ping pong demo, at the end of it, I dropped the ping pong paddle on the virtual table and it shattered.

255

So that was not the best for our internal development.

256

But that's winning in our development right?

257

It's like when you feel like something is kind of so realistic that you're just convinced that it's there.

258

And there are a lot of things that can break that, right?

259

So I think a field of view that's too low, right?

260

So something feels real, but then you turn your head and it's not there.

261

Latency, right?

262

Physics that don't behave like realistic physics.

263

It also is interesting in some ways what people can accept as physically real even though it's not right

264

so like we've done a ton of work on avatars we

265

we have this whole work stream on codec avatars to do these photorealistic avatars

266

and it's i think it's going to be incredibly compelling and people are going to love it but

267

one of the things that i found interesting is the ability to mix photorealistic

268

and expressive kind of the cartoony avatars with photorealistic worlds and kind of more cartoony computer game type worlds.

269

So you can have the, a codec kind of photorealistic avatar of a person in what is clearly like a video game or cartoon world.

270

And people are generally pretty fine with that.

271

It's like, okay, that, that feels pretty good.

272

And similarly having a photorealistic world, but good, increasingly good kind of cartoon avatars,

273

as long as the avatars move in a way that feels authentic to the person you're interacting with, it actually feels pretty good.

274

You know, when you look at a 2D still frame of it, some of the stuff can look a little bit silly.

275

And we've certainly, you know, had our share of memes around that.

276

But when you're in there, you know, and you've played around with a lot of the stuff,

277

it feels realistic because it's basically mimicking the kind of authentic mannerisms of a person that you're interacting with.

278

And even if it's not a Kodak, but a realistic avatar, if it's kind of a more cartoony, expressive one.

279

So I think that that's...

280

It's very interesting to see kind of which pieces you need to unlock

281

and where you just need to be like very technically excellent and consistent.

282

But this isn't a space where it's like you deliver one thing and it's good.

283

This is like there's a wide breadth of things that you need to nail and then have it all come together.

284

And that's why these are 10 -year projects.

285

It seems like an interesting way to learn about the human brain

286

and what we actually care about with respect to what feels real.

287

I was wondering about, there was this moment in an interview that you did with Lex Friedman.

288

You quoted research that says that the average American has fewer friends now than they did 15 years ago.

289

Yeah.

290

And I was so interested in that because it seems like

291

if we want to get to a world where there's more human connection, this is the trend that we're going to have to grapple with.

292

And just to give some data on this, in the American Time Use Survey, over the last 20 years,

293

the amount of time American adults spend socializing in person has dropped by nearly 30%.

294

For ages 15 to 24, according to the Surgeon General, it's nearly 70%.

295

And I look at that data and I think to myself, well, maybe if we're all socializing digitally, that doesn't matter so much.

296

Maybe there's a future where that's actually fine.

297

But there's also data that suggests that we're struggling somewhat.

298

The number of Americans who say that they don't have a single close friend,

299

that share has jumped from 3 % to 12 % in the last 30 years.

300

It feels to me like with all the tools that we've built for human connection, we're struggling to connect.

301

And I'm curious, why do you think that's happening?

302

I mean, there's a lot going on to unpack there.

303

A lot has changed sort of economically and socially during that period.

304

And a lot of those trends go back before a lot of the modern technology.

305

So, I mean, this is something that a lot of academics and folks have studied, but it is an interesting lens to look at this,

306

though, because I think whenever you're talking about building digital types of connection, one of the first questions that you get is,

307

is that going to replace the physical connection? and my answer to

308

that especially in the case of something like this is that no because

309

people already don't have as much connection as they would like

310

to have it's not like this is replacing some sort of better physical connection

311

that they would have otherwise had it's

312

that the average person would like to have 10 friends

313

and they have two right or three

314

and there's just more demand to socialize than what people are able to do given the current construct

315

and giving people the ability to be present with people who

316

are in other places physically just seems like it will unlock more it's not going to make it

317

so if I have glasses it's not gonna make it

318

that I spend less time with my wife it's going to make it

319

so that I spend more time with you know my sister who lives across the country

320

and um that's I think that that's that's good I think people need that.

321

As for the rest, I think we could probably spend a multi -hour podcast just going into all of the different kind of socio -economic,

322

political dynamics that are going on.

323

But none of the trends that I've seen, does it seem like the primary thing that's going on, is that because people are interacting online,

324

they're now not interacting with people physically.

325

It's, no, certainly I think you, I do interact with people online who I also like to interact with physically,

326

but, and I think that that's kind of like a combination, like more combined, richer relationship that you have overall.

327

But I think that there's a lot going on with the loss of, of kind of social capital and connections that really predates a lot of the modern technology.

328

The goal of what I'm trying most to learn about is how we can structure the technologies

329

that we use in the future to get toward this future I think you're imagining of more human connection in more ways.

330

I'm curious, you brought up the other big pillar of AI.

331

And in some of your conversations, I'm thinking of a conversation with Tim Ferriss in particular, you talked about a lot of different use cases of AI.

332

And they seem to me to fall on somewhat of a spectrum.

333

Like, for example, you mentioned automatic real -time translation.

334

It's like basically the Star Trek translator, universal translator.

335

I think we're pretty much there.

336

Yeah.

337

And that's one example on one end of the spectrum where some people might argue

338

that there is a chance that someone is less likely, for example, to learn a language because we can all speak to each other in real time in different languages.

339

I think nobody would really argue that therefore we shouldn't have that kind of universal translator.

340

Also, a lot of people still learn Latin and Greek.

341

Right, exactly.

342

And so I think that end of the spectrum is something like technologies

343

that really measurably unlock our humanity because they remove a struggle between people.

344

And then on the other end of the spectrum, there are a lot of educational things, for example, where the struggle is kind of the point.

345

It's like building a muscle.

346

I can think of so many times in my life where the reason why I was doing something was not the output, it was the fact that I was trying so hard to do it.

347

There's one example in the Tim Ferriss interview where you talked about your kids struggling to articulate themselves emotionally.

348

And adults very much have the same problem.

349

And you talked about AI as a way to help them articulate those emotions.

350

Yeah.

351

And I thought about all of the many times in my life where I have struggled to articulate my emotions

352

and how I really could have used some help in those moments.

353

And I also find myself thinking about the times when that was really building a muscle,

354

where like the act of struggling to communicate with someone and understand what they wanted from me was important to my development.

355

And so my question is, if you think about that as a spectrum between things

356

that are really important to our humanity

357

and the struggle being removed is helpful versus things where the struggle is the point

358

and it unlocks something about our humanity and is important to preserve, like building a muscle.

359

How do you draw the line between those things

360

and how do we ensure that the muscles that we're building for this future are stronger and not weaker?

361

Yeah, it's interesting.

362

I mean, I think we're always going to find new things to struggle with.

363

And I mean, it's you can always get better at communicating with other people

364

and kind of expressing yourself and understanding other people.

365

So having a tool that can help you do that better isn't going to mean that like, oh, now we perfectly understand every, you know, it's.

366

Yeah.

367

And I mean, I think the maybe one of the most functional aspects of this, you're already seeing a lot of these AI models really help

368

people with coding right like a generation ago before I was

369

getting started a lot of coding was like really low -level system software

370

and you know then by the time

371

that I got into it there's a little bit of that

372

but you can make websites pretty easily make apps pretty easily

373

and I think in 20 years or a lot sooner than

374

that you're gonna basically be in a world where kids will be able to just describe the things

375

that they want and build incredibly complex pieces of software.

376

So it's, um, in that world, are kids going to be not struggling?

377

I don't think so.

378

I think that they're going to be just, um, expressing their creativity and it'll, it'll be this kind of constant iterative feedback loop around like,

379

okay, like, yeah, I, you know, took a few minutes to describe this thing and like,

380

yeah, this whole like amazing virtual world was created that I can now see on my glasses or whatever, but like these things are not exactly what I want them to be.

381

So now I need to like go back and edit them.

382

It just, I don't know.

383

I think that there's always more.

384

That's one of the things that makes people so good.

385

It just, there's always more to do.

386

We'll always find the struggle.

387

Yeah.

388

Another way to get at this is if you play this out to make the tools even better, in like 10 years, let's say your kids are in high school,

389

are there ways that you would want them using AI

390

because you think it would accelerate them intellectually and ways that you would

391

Advocate for them not to use it or things that you would have concerns about.

392

I Mean I think that there are some things

393

that you need to be able to do yourself I think that's a lot of the basic fear

394

that people have around this is that while we're building these amazing tools

395

We get away from the self -confidence and ability of being able to do like this basic stuff yourself So it's like, all right, you have a calculator,

396

but it's still good to be able to do kind of basic math in your head

397

because there are a lot of things that come up throughout the day

398

that you just want to have a general numeracy around, right?

399

That often they're not expressed in numerical terms, but just in terms of understanding trends or understanding arguments that people are making,

400

you kind of need to understand the shape of how numbers come together.

401

And so I think one of the big debates is like, should we still teach our kids to program computers,

402

even though you're going to have these these tools in the future that are just so.

403

much more powerful than anything that we have now to produce incredibly complicated pieces of software?

404

I think the answer to that is probably yes, because I think teaching someone how to code is teaching them a way to think rigorously.

405

And that even if they're not doing most of the code production, I think it's important that you kind of have the ability to think in that way.

406

And I think it's going to just make you generally a better thinker and better person.

407

So yeah, maybe that's like this generation's version of calculators.

408

It's like, so you'll want to use the calculator, but you'll also want to be able to generally do without it.

409

Other ones like language, I don't know, I mean, different people can come out.

410

I mean, I think this is one of the interesting questions about parenting these days is like,

411

is just kind of like what's important to teach your kids in an era where

412

so much is going to change over the time that they're even in school.

413

language I think you can make similar arguments I know there's

414

a lot of it's like it's probably gonna be less functionally relevant in the future to learn multiple languages

415

but it sort of helps you think in different ways you know I found from the languages

416

that I've studied

417

that a lot of it yeah you learn about the structure

418

of your own language you can you know you also learn about the culture right

419

because so much of how things are expressed in different places is tied to the nuance

420

and the history of of kind of what how so I I think that's all valuable and interesting stuff to get into.

421

But then, I don't know, at the same time, we only have so many hours in the day, so people need to prioritize what they're going to learn.

422

And it may be that, okay, in a world with perfect translation, which, by the way, we basically just announced on the Ray -Ban Metas

423

that now you're going to be able to just go to different countries.

424

I was testing that as well.

425

Yeah, we're starting out with just a few languages, but we'll roll it out to more.

426

And you could be traveling anywhere, and you have your glasses, and they just translate in real time in your ear. So it's wild.

427

Yeah, so I think people are going to need to choose what they want to focus on going forward.

428

How do the developments that we've been talking about in AI intersect with social media

429

and the platforms that most people use today?

430

There's a future where there's generated images and generated text and maybe AI influencers.

431

How does generative AI change how social media feels in the future?

432

Yeah, I mean, I think that that's a really deep one.

433

You know, there's already been one big shift, which is that social media started out as people primarily interacting with their friends.

434

And now it is, you know, at least half of the content is basically people interacting with creators

435

or content that's not created by people who they kind of personally know.

436

So we sort of already have that paradigm

437

and I think AI is probably going to accelerate that it will give all these people additional tools Right,

438

so your friends will create kind of funnier memes and more interesting content

439

That will come from a lot of different ways I think

440

some of it will be okay your friends have glasses

441

and they capture a bunch of stuff

442

and Before they might have not been able to edit it to make it interesting

443

Or maybe it was just too much work or they didn't realize

444

that they captured something amazing but now the AI is like, hey, I like made this thing for you out of your content.

445

It's like, okay, that's awesome.

446

Like people enjoy that.

447

Creators, obviously kind of much more specialized skills are going to

448

be able to use even more advanced AI tools to make more compelling content.

449

But then I think

450

that there will be a bunch of kind of green field

451

type stuff where maybe in the future there will be content

452

that is purely generated by AI by the system personalized for you.

453

Maybe it's summarizing things that are out there that are going to be interesting.

454

Maybe it's just producing something funny that makes you laugh.

455

This is going to be a very kind of deep zone that there's a lot to experiment with.

456

I know there There are going to be AI creators as well as creators building AI versions of themselves.

457

I mean, that's a thing that we just showed too at Connect is basically, I mean, if you're a creator, one of the big challenges is like, all right, there are only so many hours in the day

458

and your community probably has a nearly unlimited demand to interact with you

459

and you want to interact with them because you're trying to grow your community.

460

I mean, that's both socially and from a business perspective, that's sort of growing the community is an important part of what every creator does. So, okay,

461

if we can make it so that each creator can basically make an AI artifact that their community can interact with,

462

people will be clear that it's not the actual creator themselves, but it's almost like a piece of digital art that you're producing, like an interactive sculpture or something, that it's like you train it to,

463

here's the context that I wanted to have, here's the topics I wanted to communicate on, here's stuff that I wanted to stay away from.

464

You're giving your community something to interact with when you can't be there to kind of answer all the questions.

465

And I know that's going to be super compelling.

466

So there's like all these interesting things, but I think it's AI.

467

It's kind of like the Internet in a way where it's probably going to change almost every field

468

and almost every feature of every application that we use.

469

It seems sort of hyperbolic to say that, but I do think that's true.

470

And it's just hard to sort of enumerate all the different things up front.

471

But I think that over the next five to 10 years, we're just going to explore the impacts in each of these areas.

472

And it's going to be an amazing amount of innovation and really exciting.

473

I feel two things simultaneously when you say that.

474

I feel both like I really want to be optimistic about the future of these platforms

475

and I obviously have gained so much from an enormous pace of change, right?

476

Like everything that we're doing now.

477

And what I actually feel is worried.

478

I feel some specific concerns around the way that, you know, I might communicate with an audience and the way

479

that they might respond to that or the way that human communication might change, but also more generalized just sort of fear of the pace of change and worry.

480

And I don't think I'm alone in that feeling.

481

Yeah, and you're supposed to be the optimist.

482

I know.

483

And I'm curious, like, how you talk to people who feel that way.

484

What concerns do you feel are most legitimate?

485

And what do you feel most misunderstood?

486

I think the pace of change is always a concerning thing, right?

487

It's, um, there is a lot of uncertainty about how things will go in the future

488

and we're all going to get really amazing new tools to do both our hobbies and our jobs and

489

they'll make it so we can do better work

490

and have better lives

491

but at least on the professional side it's going to be our responsibility to keep up with that

492

or else it's going to be difficult for us to compete

493

with other people who are doing a good job of kind of keeping up with the new trend.

494

So I get it.

495

I mean, I think, um, um, you know, especially in the, you know, line of, of work of being a creator and it's a very sort of competitive space.

496

I don't think that like creators necessarily think about it as competitive, but it is right.

497

It's like, it's, you know, and, um, and so I get it.

498

I think that this is going to make it so

499

that like the quality of work that people produce

500

and how interesting it is and how much they can communicate

501

and and really efficiently is just gonna kind of go through the roof.

502

But when you're staring down a set of changes, like you know that there's some big change coming,

503

and you don't know what it is, that's always a time of anxiety.

504

So I get it.

505

If I take my creator hat off, and I'm just a person who is young -ish, starting out my career -ish,

506

starting out building a family,

507

how would you advise someone like me to prepare well for the future that we're headed toward,

508

to be able to learn new skills now or just think about this future in an educated way?

509

Yeah.

510

I mean, I just think maintaining curiosity about things is important.

511

I do think we can overstate to what extent the next

512

10 years is going to be sort of different from the last 10 or 15.

513

I mean, a ton of stuff changed over the last 10 or 15 years too.

514

It's not like this is the only time in history where there's some technology that's going to make it

515

so there's new opportunities and things change.

516

The internet coming into maturity and everyone having smartphones has already rewired things dramatically.

517

And I mean, maybe the next period will be a somewhat bigger change or maybe it won't.

518

Um, I think it'll feel different to different people, but, um, I don't think this is like going from zero to one.

519

It's not like, okay, everything's just kind of been normal.

520

And now like, now it's about to change.

521

It's like the technology evolves over time and, and like the opportunities that we have evolve and improve.

522

And I think that that's like the people who do well, I think are people who are generally, um, curious about it and dig in

523

and try to use it to live better lives rather than the people who basically try to fight it in some way.

524

One thing that I really want to ask you about is open sourced.

525

Yeah.

526

I think, imagine that we're talking to an audience that has maybe heard that term,

527

but doesn't have any real idea of how that might impact them in the development of AI.

528

Yeah.

529

How would you explain the reasonable debate that people in your field are having about this right now?

530

Well, I think there are two pieces.

531

I mean, so what does open source mean?

532

It means that people can build a lot of different things.

533

So at a high level, I look at the vision that a bunch of companies have.

534

So OpenAI, Google, they're building an AI, one AI that I think in general they're like, okay, this is going to be, it's like you're going to use,

535

they think you're going to use Gemini or ChatGPT for all of the different things that you want to interact with.

536

And at a high level, that's just not how I think the world is going to go.

537

I think we're going to have a lot of different AI systems, just like we're going to have, we have a lot of different apps.

538

I think in the future, every business, just like they have a website and a phone number

539

and an email address and a social media account is also going to have an AI

540

that can interact with their customers to help them sell things, to help them do support.

541

I think a lot of creators will have their own AIs, right?

542

I think like a lot of people will will interact with

543

with a bunch of different things there's a question of okay do you want a future

544

that's fundamentally kind of very concentrated

545

and where you're interacting with kind of one system for everything

546

or do you want one where a lot of different people are building a lot of different ais

547

and systems just kind of like you probably didn't want there to be you know just one app

548

or just one website it's like a richer world

549

when there's a diversity of different things So that's one piece is just giving people the ability to build it themselves.

550

And what open source does, it makes it so that everyone can take and modify the model and build stuff on top of it, which is different from the kind of closed and centralized approach.

551

The safety debate is a specific part of this, which is in a world where AI gets smarter and smarter.

552

What's the way that we have the highest chance of having a kind of positive future

553

and not having a lot of the safety concerns?

554

And I think some people think that if we keep the model closed and don't give it to a lot of developers,

555

that should make it safer because then you don't get bad developers doing bad things with the model.

556

Historically, I think what we've seen with open source is actually the opposite, which is that this is not the first open source project, right?

557

I mean, this is obviously, this has been a thing in the industry for decades.

558

And I think what we've traditionally seen is that open source software is safer and more secure, largely because you put it out there,

559

more people can scrutinize it because they can see all parts of the system.

560

And then there are inevitably issues with any software there are bugs, there are security issues, and initially with open source people thought,

561

hey, if you're putting the software out there and there are holes in it, isn't everyone just going to go exploit those holes, and especially the bad guys?

562

But it turned out that it sort of in this counterintuitive way that by adding more scrutiny to the systems,

563

the holes became apparent quicker and then were fixed.

564

And then people roll out a new version, just like we roll out a new version of our models

565

right llama 3 llama 3 .1 llama 3 .2 everyone upgrades

566

567

so i think the same thing is going to happen here

568

i think it's sort of this counterintuitive thing where even though

569

i think there's some concern around all right are bad guys

570

going to do bad things with these models i actually think you just get a kind of smarter

571

and safer model for everyone, the more it's rolled out, the more kind of scrutiny is on it.

572

And then part of that is we get feedback and we make the model safer.

573

So that as we roll it out to more people, it's safer for more people to use.

574

So I think that the history of open source and the software industry

575

generally would suggest that open source is going to lead to a more prosperous and safer future.

576

Our show is called Huge If True.

577

And what I mean by that is kind of testing the most optimistic, non -obvious thing.

578

And so my question to you is, what is the biggest open,

579

genuine question on your mind right now? In which field?

580

You're in so many.

581

I am particularly curious about the combination of AI and hardware, but I realize that we've covered a lot.

582

So I'm curious the direction you'd take this on a question that occupies you right now.

583

Gosh, I mean, I think maybe one that's a little more AI specific is the recurrent set of methods

584

that seem to be scaling very well, right?

585

So with past AI architectures, you could kind of feed an AI system a certain amount of data and use a certain amount of compute,

586

but eventually it hit a plateau.

587

And One of the interesting things about these new transformer -based architectures over the last,

588

you know, five to ten years is that we haven't found the end yet.

589

So that leads to this dynamic where Lama 3, you know, we could train on, you know, 10 ,000 to 20 ,000 GPUs.

590

Lama 4, we could train on more than 100 ,000 GPUs.

591

Lama 5, we can plan to scale even further.

592

And there's just an interesting question of how far

593

that goes it's totally possible that at some point we just like hit a limit

594

and just like previous systems there's an asymptote

595

and it doesn't keep on growing but it's also possible that

596

that limit is not gonna happen anytime soon and

597

that we're gonna be able to keep on just building more clusters

598

and generating more you know synthetic data to train the systems

599

and that they're just going to keep on getting more and more useful for people for quite a while to come.

600

And it's a really big and high stakes question, I think, for the companies,

601

because we're basically making these bets on how much infrastructure to build out for the future.

602

And this is like hundreds of billions of dollars of infrastructure.

603

So like I'm clearly betting that this is going to keep scaling for a while.

604

But it's one of the big questions, I think, in the field, because it is possible that it doesn't.

605

You know, that obviously would lead to a very different world where it's, I mean, I'm sure people still figure it out eventually,

606

just need to make some new fundamental improvements to the architecture in some way.

607

But that might be a somewhat longer trajectory for, okay, maybe, you know, the kind of fundamental AI advances slow down for a bit

608

and we just take some time to build new products around this.

609

Or it could be the case, and that's what I'm betting on, that the fundamental AI will just continue advancing for quite a

610

while and that we're going to get both a new set of products

611

that are just really compelling in all these ways and

612

that the technology landscape and what's possible will just continue being dynamic over like a 20 -year period and

613

That's probably what I guess is gonna happen

614

But it I think it's one of the bigger questions in the industry

615

and kind of for technology across the world today Is there anything else that you want to say?

616

I don't know.

617

We're good Amazing.

618

Thank you so much for doing this.

619

Yeah, no, thank you.

מילים ארוכות — שימו לב להטעמה: personalize /ˈpɜː.sə.nə.laɪz/, photorealistic /ˌfoʊ.toʊˌɹiː.əlˈɪs.tɪk/, optimistic /ˌɒptɪˈmɪstɪk/, articulate /ɑːɹˈtɪk.jə.leɪt/, counterintuitive /ˌkaʊntəɹɪnˈtuɪtɪv/

צלילים שדוברי עברית מתקשים בהם:

/æ/ — פתוח יותר מה-“אֶ” העברית, לא כמו “a” ב-“cup”: interact /ɪn.təˈɹækt/, avatar /ˌæv.əˈtɑː(ɹ)/, hologram /ˈhɑləˌɡɹæm/, paddle /ˈpædl̩/, haptics /ˈhæptɪks/
/r/ — הלשון לא נוגעת בשום מקום, לא ה-“ר” הגרונית: interact /ɪn.təˈɹækt/, avatar /ˌæv.əˈtɑː(ɹ)/, hologram /ˈhɑləˌɡɹæm/, photorealistic /ˌfoʊ.toʊˌɹiː.əlˈɪs.tɪk/, realistic /ˌɹɪəˈlɪs.tɪk/
/ŋ/ בסוף מילה — צליל אפי בלי “ג” בסוף: pung /pʌŋ/, ping /pɪŋ/

מהי טכניקת השאדואינג?

שאדואינג היא טכניקת למידת שפה מבוססת מדע שפותחה במקור להכשרת מתורגמנים מקצועיים ופופולרית על ידי הפוליגלוט ד"ר אלכסנדר ארגואלס. השיטה פשוטה אך עוצמתית: אתה מקשיב לאודיו באנגלית ילידית וחוזר עליו בקול רם מיד — כמו צל העוקב אחרי הדובר עם עיכוב של 1–2 שניות בלבד. בניגוד להאזנה פסיבית או תרגילי דקדוק, שאדואינג מכריח את המוח והשרירים בפה לעבד ולשחזר דפוסי דיבור אמיתיים בו זמנית. מחקרים מראים שזה משפר משמעותית את דיוק ההגייה, האינטונציה, הקצב, הדיבור המחובר, הבנת השמיעה ושטף הדיבור — מה שהופך אותו לאחת השיטות היעילות ביותר להכנה לIELTS Speaking ולתקשורת באנגלית בעולם האמיתי.
