Superintelligence is a dragon

Mark Zuckerberg published a 6,500-word manifesto titled “The Future is for Everyone” about “the path to a positive AI future,” arguing that “invention, not automation, will be the greatest contribution of superintelligence.” The column compares AI development to the dragons in HBO’s House of the Dragon, where a monopoly on a superweapon enforced peace but a split led to civil war. The author notes that while the technology industry invests trillions of dollars into AI models, day-to-day life feels unchanged, and CEOs cannot imagine significant job loss. The piece contrasts Zuckerberg’s focus on AI curing disease with headlines about scientists using AI to engineer new viruses, which pose no threat to humans. It also mentions that Anthropic published a blog post claiming an unreleased model made substantial progress on a problem related to the 167-year-old Riemann hypothesis after an employee with no formal mathematical training asked it to and told it to believe in itself.
