How Many More Things Will You Get Wrong? AI Too?
Mailbox verified letter
Dearest Mark, I forgave you for turning the algorithm into whatever in the TikTok it is today. I watched the legion of followers I had amassed turn to dust overnight as you gated my reach at levels that sometimes feel like a shadow ban. All this I forgave and continued to spend money on your app, even as the value depreciated before my eyes. Cool, whatever. And then you started believing you could do whatever you liked. Should we discuss the $80Billion flushed down the drain in the name of the Metaverse, which also coincided with the rebrand of Meta as a company name. Like really? How wasn't it obvious the VR thing was at best a gaming console play? I bet you 80Billion with a gaming focus would have been profitable by now. For general purpose, no. I don't want to meet even you Mark, with your billions, in a VR room. Zoom is just fine. It's even funny that you guys got Apple buying into this as well. I guess the lesson is learned now. And I'll tell you in advance, the Meta glasses play is just a gimmick. We don't even want the notifications of the phone disturbing our peace, why would I want to strap it onto my head? And let's not even get into the social stigma of wearing a survellance data gathering device. But it's whatever, do you. This letter is actually about your AI approach, which I think is just front-backwards. Why are you dying in the ring with OpenAI and Anthropic, while you have left your core in socials? Why am I not waking up to the next update where Facebook has an AI friend for me across all your platforms? This friend will report my analytics, help me reply messages, moderate the comment sections, etc. That's what I want to pay the $20 a month for, not some blue tick. Like why am I asking other agents to do anything on Meta platforms? We don't want to ask Meta, we want to ask Willbot, our friendly digital buddy that knows all my accounts and what I need for each. And ohhh! Don't get me started about your ad set-up dashboard. Vercel, GitHub, Supabase, Cloudflare... EVERYONE HAS AN AI CHAT INTERFACE! Why do I have to still slave away in that God-awful display? Fine, what's the token cost? But just make it easy. Why can't I just give my page to Meta's AI to manage? On a more positive note... Congratulations on Muse Spark. It definitely outperformed the free Deepseek model for me, and even the ChatGPT super cheap model - Go plan I think it's called. Again, perhaps my Meta AI friend would have sent me news about Muse Spark and even directions to activate and some usecases customized to my needs. You are giving out agentic capacity for free and you aren't even marketing it. Is there a legal thing blocking this because I'm telling you, people will pay for custom skins for their AI friends, and Muse is a sweet spot nobody knows about. I'm not even going to ask you why AI content production isn't a natural part of uploading images on Meta. No, not some gimmick generation. I should be able to copywrite and generate real flyers and carousels natively and seamlessly! You have all the data for the character reference, page voice, style, it's all already on the page. Anyways, I can't teach you everything for free. Muse should be the baseline for African enterprise because it's free and can actually do agentic work, and it works locally. But you have to actually make better marketing efforts. Have a great day, and if you felt offended reading this, now you know I felt when my 20k plus followers stopped seeing my posts. Bye
