Mark Zuckerberg’s Personal Superintelligence, Layoffs and Payoffs, Writing With AI — With M.G. Siegler

Mark Zuckerberg wants to build personal superintelligence, but does the term have meaning beyond marketing hype? We're seeing $100 million payouts and lots of layoffs in big tech. How does that work? Plus, should you use AI to write? That's coming up right after this.

This episode is brought to you by Genesis. What does it actually take to put Agentic AI to work across an entire enterprise? I recently spoke with Genesis chairman and CEO Tony Bates about why orchestration is emerging as a competitive advantage in customer experience and what companies need to get right in the AI era. Then, I sat down with Adam Mitchell, head of Enterprise Business Solutions at Voya Financial to go inside a large-scale Agentic CX transformation, including the business decisions, trade-offs, and lessons along the way. You can watch both conversations now on my YouTube channel today.

Welcome to Big Technology Podcast, first Monday of the month edition where we talk about everything happening in big tech and AI with the great MG Siegler of Spyglass. You could find his writing at spyglass.org, and we have so much to speak with you about today, including what superintelligence actually means, uh whether people are actually worth $100 million as big tech companies are laying folks off. And of course, whether you should use artificial intelligence to write. MG, it's great to have you back on the show. Welcome back.
