Meta spins up AI version of Mark Zuckerberg to engage with employees https://arstechnica.com/ai/2026/04/meta-spins-up-ai-version-of-mark-zuckerberg-to-engage-with-employees/

@cwebber you laugh but this will be a godsend for all the people clamoring to spend more time talking to such a famously charismatic, personable, cool guy

@vv @bean @cwebber Alas, ZZ Top refused licensing rights.

@cwebber I'm here for CEOs replacing themselves with AI. This idea definitely has legs.

[isaackuo@spacey.space]

@bean @cwebber Legs are too technologically challenging to implement.

Not a single video game Mark Zuckerburg studied before, during or after inventing the Metaverse implemented legs.

I think we can safely conclude that an abysmal track record of zero out of zero means that videogames can't implement legs.

[cargot_robbie@urbanists.social]

@cwebber Finally a legitimate use for AI: not talking to Mark Zuckerberg.

[slembcke@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@cwebber Oh Santa Claus, if I'm really really *really* good this year for Christmas, will you leak access to this official/fake Zuckerberg AI to the general public? PLEASE?!

[eviloatmeal@ak.angelstrapped.com]

@cwebber Will the Metaverse version of him get its own AIsona? Or will the AIsona have a Metaverse version of it? And in either case, will the resulting abomination have legs?

[slembcke@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@cwebber Maybe the real laugh will be over in a few days when Ars retracts the story because it's AI slop after all? (sigh)

@cwebber I thought he was a bot already.

@cwebber I've been wondering when The Onion writers get a reprieve.

Obviously April 2026 isn't it.

[jt_rebelo@ciberlandia.pt]

@Fedihacker I am sure the AI will be more humanlike. @cwebber

@cwebber “you raise an interesting point employee #34726. Now back to work “

[dvshkn@social.treehouse.systems]

@a2_4am @cwebber yeah the funniest outcome is definitely if it works too well

[noplasticshower@infosec.exchange]

@cwebber Great time to ask for some budget and a raise...with proper prompting of course.

[kwayk42@sechtor.social]

@cwebber

Employee : It comes off as an emotionless robot that doesn't have any morals

Zuck : 🤌 perfect

[whitecattamer@mastodon.online]

@cwebber Gotdam, they’ve drunk so much Flavor-AId that they’re starting to replace themselves.

[ottaross@mastodon.social]

@cwebber hoping that people who use it find themselves suspending their filters when talking to the real one too, and everyone around him is suddenly hostile. lol

[prism@infosec.exchange]

@cwebber IDK who would actually use it. I can assure you at no point did the times get tough enough for me to wish for a "what would Mark do?" bracelet to consult.

[two9a@hachyderm.io]

@a2_4am @cwebber Appreciate the double entendre of the idea having legs even though metaZuck doesn't have legs.

@cwebber
When the AI version of yourself is somehow less alienating than the real thing.
