   AI glasses will become your primary computing devices according to Mark   
   Zuckerberg as he ushers in the era of personal superintelligence

   Description:   
   Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg believes that personal superintelligence is almost   
   here and will dominate the future.   
      
   FULL STORY   
      
   In a letter that resembles one of Sam Altmans long rambling blog posts, Meta   
   CEO Mark Zuckerberg describes his vision of the future where there is    
   personal superintelligence for everyone, and theres not a single reference to   
   the Metaverse in it.    
      
   Zuckerberg also delivered the letter in a monologue form via his Instagram   
   account .    
      
   Titled Personal Superintelligence, the 600+ word article sees Zuckerberg   
   attempt to stamp his ownership onto superintelligence. Developing   
   superintelligence, he confidently says, is now in sight.    
      
   In words that eerily echo exactly what the CEO of OpenAI has recently said ,   
   Zuckerberg proclaims, I am extremely optimistic that superintelligence will   
   help humanity accelerate our pace of progress. But perhaps even more    
   important is that superintelligence has the potential to begin a new era of   
   personal empowerment where people will have greater agency to improve the   
   world in the directions they choose.    
      
   According to Zuckerberg, everyone having their own accessible   
   superintelligence will help you achieve your goals, create what you want to   
   see in the world, experience any adventure, be a better friend to those you   
   care about, and grow to become the person you aspire to be.    
      
   In a nod to the Ray-Ban and Oakley Meta AI Glasses that the company is so   
   proud of, Zuckerberg says: Personal devices like glasses that understand our   
   context because they can see what we see, hear what we hear, and interact    
   with us throughout the day will become our primary computing devices.    
      
   Personally, I find this a bit hard to accept based on the current evidence.   
   While I haven't had the pleasure of using Meta's AI glasses yet, I have used   
   AI devices like the Rabbit R1 , which require voice commands to do    
   everything, and it's a slow and awkward way to use AI compared to quickly   
   typing a prompt or opening apps on a screen.    
      
   On exactly when we can expect this new era of personal superintelligence to   
   kick in, Zuckerberg still seems to be hedging his bets a little: The rest of   
   this decade seems likely to be the decisive period for determining the path   
   this technology will take, and whether superintelligence will be a tool for   
   personal empowerment or a force focused on replacing large swaths of society.   
      
   A force for good or evil   
      
   This battle between AI being used for good or evil seems to be a theme that    
   is playing on CEOs minds lately. For example, Sam Altman recently couldnt    
   seem to decide if he was scared of the power of ChatGPT 5 or in awe of it.    
      
   While predicting the imminent dawn of superintelligence seems to be the   
   favorite pastime of tech CEOs at the moment, it seems that the technology is   
   building towards a tipping point where superintelligence becomes a reality.   
   Let's just hope that the movies got it wrong about what happens next.
