I was curious what the pitch, it's relatively typical US-style tech megcorp gibberish, perhaps even more meaningless than usual.

"If trends continue, then you’d expect people to spend less time in productivity software, and more time creating and connecting. Personal superintelligence that knows us deeply, understands our goals, and can help us achieve them will be by far the most useful.”

I wonder if deep down in Zuckerberg's mind there is a lonely, subconscious thought that if (when) there is such a massive economic disruption, there could be other outcomes, then using genAI to make custom emoji/gifs or whatever.

The last time we had such a major disruption, industrialization, we had the truely radical (for the time) global revolutionary movements, fascism, WW1/WW2, collapse of centuries old monarchies, national independence movements, decolonisation, the great depression and so on...

On the other hand it's good that American criminal leadership ignores history, hubris and absolute corruption is always the first stage in the collapse of dominant regimes.
