The chatbot of the American company Meta Platforms says about the founder of the company Mark Zuckerberg that it exploits people. The automaton told a BBC reporter that Zuckerberg was doing it for the money and that he didn’t care. The company hastened to explain that it is only a prototype. Otherwise, according to her, the chatbot is able to talk about almost anything because it uses artificial intelligence.
When asked what the robot thinks about the company’s director and founder, this so-called chatbot replied that “our country is divided and he didn’t help at all.” Meta noted that, as a prototype, the robot can still respond with obscenities and insults. The chatbot was named BlenderBot 3 and the company demonstrated it to the public last week on Friday.
The chatbot learns by using a large number of publicly available language expressions. When asked about Mark Zuckerberg’s persona, the chatbot said: “He did a terrible job testifying in Congress. It worries me about our country.”
Zuckerberg sold the villa. It’s the real estate deal of the year in San Francisco
Facebook co-founder Mark Zuckerberg has sold his home in San Francisco. Price? 31 million dollars, converted to about 745 million crowns. It is the most expensive home sale since the beginning of this year in the entire Bay Area. This was reported by the real estate website The Real Deal.
American politicians questioned Zuckerberg several times, the hearings in 2018 probably attracted the most attention. There, he answered, for example, the topic of privacy on the Internet and how his company behaves in this environment. Facebook is the world’s largest social network, currently having more than 2.9 billion active users according to Statista.
“His company exploits people for money and he doesn’t care. This has to stop!” said Zuckerberg’s chatbot.
Facebook crushes TikTok’s competition. The social network earned significantly less
Inflation, lower demand for advertising and also overwhelming competition from China. The results of Meta Platforms, which operates Facebook and Instagram, were disappointing. Stocks are falling.
Meta Platforms has come under fire for does not do enough to prevent misinformation and hate speech on its communication platforms. Last year, former employee Frances Haugen accused the company of putting its own financial interests ahead of ensuring user safety in the online environment.
Meta Platforms owns some of the largest social media and chat platforms in use in the world. Including networks or applications Facebook, Facebook Messenger, Instagram and WhatsApp.
BlenderBot 3’s chat bot algorithm searches the internet to find relevant information to answer. So it’s likely that he got opinions about Zuckerberg by taking other people’s opinions from the Internet that his algorithm analyzed.
The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reported that BlenderBot 3 told one of his reporters that Donald Trump was and always will be the President of the United States. A reporter from the business website Insider then found out that the chatbot finds Zuckerberg obnoxious and manipulative.
Meta went public with a prototype chatbot even at the cost of bad publicity for a clear reason – it needs to get data. “When you allow an AI system to interact with real-world people, it leads to longer and more diverse conversations, as well as more varied feedback,” Meta said on its blog. Chating machines that learn from human interactions can learn good and bad behavior from them.

Brain implant: chance or threat? For Musk, an opportunity he is pushing forward
Can we have a connection directly from the brain to the computer and the Internet, so that we could look up the necessary information “in our head” at any time? Technology originally developed for disabled people will probably soon be able to do something similar for healthy people as well.
Software company Microsoft apologized in 2016 after Twitter users taught its chatbot racist behavior.
Meta Platforms acknowledges that its BlenderBot 3 may be saying something wrong. Likewise, it can imitate language that could be “risky, biased or offensive”. The company says it has installed security features in the software, but the chatbot can still behave vulgarly.
Patrik Tkáč: Food is a great place to test a robot
Slovak billionaire and business partner of Daniel Křetínský, Patrik Tkáč, opened a “futuristic” grocery store in Bratislava.
