lol, and now the boss has one so his employees will feel more connected, lol.meanwhile:
The Financial Times reports that Zuckerberg is personally involved with building the avatar that is made to “engage with employees in his stead.” It’s all part of Meta’s push into the generative AI industry.
The 3D-animated AI is reportedly trained on photos of Zuckerberg and it can converse with employees through a clone of the billionaire’s voice. The model is also being trained on Zuckerberg’s mannerisms, his tone, and the content of his public statements. Meta is also trying to add in Zuckerberg’s thinking on things like the company’s strategy. The hope is that employees will “feel more connected” to the company’s founder.
So the AI is being trained to look and act like a computer?

Xpeng has said its updated AI model allows drivers to give the car commands - like, “park near the entrance to the shopping center” - rather than designating a spot on a map. Xpeng vehicles can use cameras to navigate even without mapping or coordinates.

Xiaomi has said its AI-empowered HyperOS operating system in its cars would allow drivers to task the system with complicated to-do lists, making restaurant reservations, placing coffee orders and compiling notes from the road. The system could also detect when drivers seem stressed or agitated and adjust the lighting and music for their arrival at home.
"So much focus on AI in other parts of the world has been on how can we use it to improve business? That's not what Chinese automakers are talking about," said Dan Hearsch, global co-leader for automotive at advisory firm AlixPartners. "The AI they're building in is going to make the car easier to drive, easier to interact with, easier to do all of the things that otherwise take effort."Learned helplessness - Wikipedia
Learned helplessness is the behavior exhibited by a subject after enduring repeated aversive stimuli beyond their control. In humans, learned helplessness is related to the concept of self-efficacy, the individual's belief in their innate ability to achieve goals.3 -
The FT’s Alphaville section reports the astonishing news that the working age population of China is on course “to fall by two-thirds by the end of the century.”
No wonder China is pushing hard on AI and robots, lots of elders and a deficit of workers.

Key data on American retirement and savings:
Only 55% of U.S. adults have a rainy-day fund equal to three months of expenses, down from 59% in 2021, according to the Federal Reserve.
Fewer than half of Americans surveyed could cover a $2,000 emergency expense from savings alone, the Federal Reserve confirmed.
The Social Security trust fund is projected to be depleted as early as fiscal 2032, at which point automatic benefit cuts of 23% to 28% could follow without Congressional action, the Motley Fool noted.0 -
