So it makes sense to me that Google, which derives most of its revenue from search, would find the advent of LLMs to be existential to its core business. But why do you think Meta is investing as much in AI, given that social networks are pretty sticky and wouldn't necessarily be impacted from a business model standpoint?

Back door to the metaverse vision + if AR/VR/XR are going to usher in the next wave of personal computing devices, AI is likely to play a role there

think it’s to do with this AI Assistant thing on mobile products they are probably most worried about TikTok, so I guess the theory is give everyday products more utility https://about.fb.com/news/2024/04/meta-ai-assistant-built-with-llama-3/

Definitely as a way to capitalize more on search. As an SEO, I can tell you one of the most alarming trends Google is seeing right now is people appending keywords like + reddit onto search terms. Use a keyword tool and any informational searches all now have a “+ reddit” keyword with high volume. People are getting wise to manipulated search results and looking for content written by actual humans. Basically, they’re losing search volume to a slew of competitors, including social. Speaking of this, I think not having individual casts indexed by Google is a missed opportunity for FC. It might be a simple fix to get more FC content indexed and showing up in Google. Currently, it’s only indexing profiles for the most part. Could bring a lot of longtail traffic if individual casts and comment chains were also indexed. A decent SEO will be able to take a look at your search console and tell you what’s up.

They want to own the next platform and LLMs may become a new OS https://x.com/karpathy/status/1723140519554105733

Zuck builds tech first, monetization after Facebook has learned that everything helps ad based monetization in some way (Automatic AI generated ads; businesses have an account and it automatically spends out of that)

It could be as simple as their scars from missing the mobile wave (at the platform level, not just apps). Now, they take every potential platform shift (VR, crypto, LLMs) very seriously.

Given the general negative reaction of Facebook audiences to AI, it's a very, very puzzling business decisions. Seems more like a personal interest of Zuckerberg's than a rational direction for the platform to take.

My guess is that all the mega tech companies have a lot to lose (not just Google) to see OpenAI lock the industry-leading LLM behind an API. You see partnerships that tell this story between Microsoft partnering with OpenAI and Amazon with Claude

I could see FB AI facilitating more engagement on the platform, especially for people that don't have an active friend group. This is going to have profound impact on their business model. Virtual friends will be perfect for advertisers. Also, FB social data is going to be a treasure throve for LLMs of big brands that pay to gain access.

AD targeting, powered by AI, will help Meta cross the uncanny valley (Yes I’m misusing the term but trying to convey a change from “spooky coincidences” that ad targeting currently has to “mildly useful and relevant”)

It’s pretty obvious, they just want to have an edge. Regardless of who it will benefit more, being early pays. Look at the rapid rate at which everything is moving, on the long run, it’ll pay for them and why?, cos “they were early”
