Mark Zuckerberg’s AI Manifesto Is 6,500-Words—and Barely Says Anything
Mark Zuckerberg’s AI Manifesto Is 6,500-Words—and Barely Says Anything
马克·扎克伯格的 AI 宣言长达 6500 字,却几乎什么都没说
In today’s episode of Uncanny Valley, Brian Barrett, Zoë Schiffer, and Leah Feiger break down Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s 6,500-word AI manifesto and why it ultimately rings hollow. Plus, why are job seekers scheduling bot-run interviews at 1 am? WIRED’s Andy Greenberg also joins to unpack the best findings from Black Hat and Defcon, from a hacked kids’ smartwatch to a coin-sized device that can hijack a Boeing 737. 在今天这期《恐怖谷》(Uncanny Valley)节目中,布莱恩·巴雷特(Brian Barrett)、佐伊·希弗(Zoë Schiffer)和莉亚·费格(Leah Feiger)深入剖析了 Meta 首席执行官马克·扎克伯格那篇 6500 字的 AI 宣言,并探讨了它为何最终显得空洞无物。此外,为什么求职者会把机器人面试安排在凌晨 1 点?《连线》杂志的安迪·格林伯格(Andy Greenberg)也将加入节目,解读黑帽大会(Black Hat)和全球黑客大会(Defcon)上的重磅发现,从被黑客入侵的儿童智能手表,到能劫持波音 737 的硬币大小设备,应有尽有。
Brian Barrett: Today on the show, we’re going to be talking about Mark Zuckerberg’s manifesto on AI, which weighs in at over 6,500 words. We will be talking about it for less time than it would take to read it, so you’re welcome for that. But most importantly, we’ll discuss what it says about Meta’s strategy as it continuously tries to catch up in the AI race. 布莱恩·巴雷特: 今天节目中,我们将讨论马克·扎克伯格关于 AI 的宣言,全文超过 6500 字。我们讨论它的时间会比阅读全文的时间短,不用谢。但最重要的是,我们将探讨这篇宣言反映了 Meta 在持续追赶 AI 竞赛过程中的战略意图。
Leah Feiger: We’ll also get into the rise of the 1 am job interview. As more people talk to a bot instead of a human for their first interview rounds, some job seekers are choosing to schedule theirs very late at night. We’re going to look into that and how it’s far from the only way that AI is changing job interviews as we know them. 莉亚·费格: 我们还将探讨“凌晨 1 点面试”的兴起。随着越来越多的人在首轮面试中面对机器人而非人类面试官,一些求职者选择在深夜进行面试。我们将深入研究这一现象,并探讨 AI 如何以多种方式彻底改变我们所熟知的求职面试。
Brian Barrett: And later in the show, we’ll be joined by WIRED’s Andy Greenberg to dive into some of the most exciting research that came out of Black Hat and Defcon, two of the world’s biggest cybersecurity events. So on Monday, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg published a roughly 6,500-word essay on AI titled “The Future Is for Everyone.” And doesn’t that sound nice? It’s the latest entry in the unfortunate genre of philosophical manifestos from tech CEOs. They’ve all got one. Sam Altman, Dario Amodei. Everyone’s got a manifesto these days. 布莱恩·巴雷特: 节目稍后,《连线》的安迪·格林伯格将加入我们,深入探讨黑帽大会和全球黑客大会(全球最大的两个网络安全盛会)上发布的一些最令人兴奋的研究成果。周一,Meta 首席执行官马克·扎克伯格发表了一篇约 6500 字的 AI 文章,题为《未来属于每个人》(The Future Is for Everyone)。听起来很美好,对吧?这是科技公司 CEO 们撰写的那种令人无奈的“哲学宣言”流派中的最新作品。他们每个人都有一篇,萨姆·奥特曼(Sam Altman)、达里奥·阿莫代(Dario Amodei)……如今每个人都有自己的宣言。
Leah Feiger: It’s a requirement. 莉亚·费格: 这简直成了标配。
Brian Barrett: Some people have multiple manifestos. Even Zuckerberg’s manifesto was an expansion of a Wall Street Journal op-ed that he wrote. Anyway, they all want to lay out their views for the industry, for the world, why their companies are best positioned to tackle the future, why you shouldn’t be scared of their products, right? The core argument of Zuckerberg’s manifesto is that concentrating AI power in a few institutions is dangerous, and broad access to these models is what you need to diffuse that power. He didn’t name specific names, clearly taking jabs at OpenAI and Anthropic, which favor tighter control over their private models. At one point he writes, and I quote, “Historically hoping that an absolute power will benevolently provide for humanity if sufficiently enlightened has not led to safe or positive outcomes.” 布莱恩·巴雷特: 有些人甚至不止一篇宣言。扎克伯格的这篇宣言其实就是他之前为《华尔街日报》撰写的一篇评论文章的扩充版。总之,他们都想阐述自己对行业和世界的看法,解释为什么他们的公司最有能力应对未来,以及为什么你不应该害怕他们的产品,对吧?扎克伯格宣言的核心论点是:将 AI 权力集中在少数机构手中是危险的,而广泛开放这些模型才是分散权力的必要手段。他没有点名,但显然是在暗讽 OpenAI 和 Anthropic,因为这两家公司倾向于对私有模型实施更严格的控制。他在文中写道,我引用一下:“从历史上看,寄希望于绝对权力在足够开明的情况下能仁慈地造福人类,从未带来过安全或积极的结果。”
Leah Feiger: I think it’s a pretty Philosophy 101 way to say I just wasn’t invited to play at the sandbox with the big kids. I mean, we can’t divorce this from Meta’s desperate attempts to stay relevant in the AI industry and race. And also we have to talk about the fact that they laid off so many people on this team just a few months ago. It was so all over the place. So there’s something very funny to me about Mark Zuckerberg being like, “Whoa, whoa, whoa, let’s rein in OpenAI and Anthropic.” But I’m like, “You wish that you were them. That feels very obvious.” 莉亚·费格: 我觉得这简直是用“哲学入门”的方式在说:“我只是没被邀请去和大佬们一起玩沙子。”我的意思是,我们不能脱离 Meta 在 AI 行业和竞赛中拼命保持存在感的背景来看待这件事。而且我们必须提到,就在几个月前,他们还裁掉了这个团队的许多人。他们的策略一直摇摆不定。所以,马克·扎克伯格表现得好像在说“嘿,嘿,嘿,让我们约束一下 OpenAI 和 Anthropic”时,我觉得非常滑稽。我的感觉是:“你只是希望自己能成为他们,这太明显了。”
