Meta/AI and wearables

Nilay Patel and Mark Zuckerberg Podcast notes:

– I’m on board with the idea that computing’s future is shifting away from mobile towards wearables, likely eyeglasses. Might be worth looking into Luxottica investments given their Facebook partnership.

– The concept of companies using AI chatbots as customer-facing agents with real agency? Yes, I can see that happening. These AI instances could represent brands, proactively engaging customers through messages, ads, etc.

– AI-generated content in social media feeds seems inevitable, but I’m not thrilled about it. It’s unlikely to match the novelty or appeal of human-created content. However, the idea that social networks’ role is to spark conversations in private channels is intriguing. Take TikTok, for instance – people watch videos there but share and discuss them in private chats elsewhere.

– There’s definitely going to be a demand for user-friendly, private channels that offer more than just text messaging. But can anything really beat the richness of a letter with a photo? I’m not so sure.
