Mark Zuckerberg has an Instagzam

马克·扎克伯格的“Instagzam”

On The Vergecast: Instagram’s new logo, Zuck’s AI manifesto, and lots of other bad ideas. 在本期《The Vergecast》中:Instagram 的新 Logo、扎克伯格的 AI 宣言,以及许多其他糟糕的点子。

Instagram’s wordmark is iconic. Well, was iconic. Apparently Instagram thought it looked old, so the company rolled out a new one this week. It doesn’t look like the old Instagram wordmark. It doesn’t even look like it spells Instagram anymore. And we cannot figure out why Instagram decided to do this. Instagram 的文字标识曾是标志性的。好吧,曾经是。显然,Instagram 觉得它看起来过时了,所以公司本周推出了一个新版本。它看起来一点也不像旧的 Instagram 标识,甚至看起来都不再像是拼写着“Instagram”了。我们实在无法理解 Instagram 为什么要这么做。

On this episode of The Vergecast, David and Nilay start by discussing the new logo, the executive urge to redesign everything all the time, and whether new is always better. After that, they get into the other big Meta release of the week: Mark Zuckerberg’s many-thousand-word missive on the future of AI. There are a lot of ideas and proposals in the post, all centered on one really big, very Zuckerberg-y thesis: that if you give all the technology to everyone, everything will be fine. Quite a take from the guy who sees what happens on Facebook every day. 在本期《The Vergecast》中,David 和 Nilay 首先讨论了新 Logo、高管们总是想要重新设计一切的冲动,以及“新的是否总是更好”。随后,他们探讨了本周 Meta 的另一项重大发布:马克·扎克伯格关于 AI 未来的数千字长文。文中包含了许多想法和建议,核心都围绕着一个非常“扎克伯格式”的宏大论点:如果你把所有技术都交给所有人,一切都会好起来的。对于一个每天都能看到 Facebook 上发生什么的人来说,这真是一个相当独特的观点。

(By the way, here’s the Meta Design Blog post we reference, and the incredible Pepsi branding doc.) (顺便提一下,这是我们提到的 Meta 设计博客文章,以及那份令人难以置信的百事可乐品牌文档。)

After that, it’s time for some more AI news, including a new way of “watermarking” AI-generated text, Apple’s stamp of reality, Spotify’s crackdown on AI artists (but not AI music), and some chaos in the guitar industry. Then it’s off to the lightning round, with news about Brendan Carr, ChatGPT, Flock, cheap phones, and more. 接下来是更多 AI 新闻,包括一种为 AI 生成文本添加“水印”的新方法、苹果的现实印记、Spotify 对 AI 艺术家的打击(但非 AI 音乐),以及吉他行业的一些混乱。随后进入快问快答环节,内容涵盖 Brendan Carr、ChatGPT、Flock、廉价手机等新闻。
