    They added that the character was being trained on the billionaire’s mannerisms, tone, and publicly available statements, as well as his own recent thinking on company strategies, so that employees might feel more connected to the founder through interactions with it.

    Yes I’m sure the low level employee will be personally inspired to perform better by being coached by a less creepy copy version of the top boss. Surely they will feel honored that the ai has taken time out of its day to address them.

      I thought Mark Zuckerberg got a symbolic one-dollar salary or something, and most of his wealth comes from his ownership of Meta, not his job there? I may be misremembering this.

        Yep. Almost all of his compensation is in shares. Important both for his total wealth, and also voting power. His currently owned shares give him around 60% voting power, which is the only way he’s been getting away with stupid moves like the failed metaverse project.

        That amount of control over the company is also worth considerably more in the current era of rampant corruption. He is synonymous with Meta and is trying his hardest to solidify power as an oligarch.

    Zuck might be the only human AI can seemlessly replace…

    And the fact that it can’t replace the most jr employees capably but can just slid straight into a CEO role isn’t saying what Zuck thinks it’s saying
