But is this really about democratizing technology, or is it a desperate PR move to catch up with OpenAI and Anthropic? </p><p>I sat down with New York Times technology reporter Mike Isaac, who has covered Zuckerberg and Meta for more than a decade, to unpack what Zuckerberg is really proposing and why Meta is making such an aggressive push into AI right now.</p><p>We discuss Meta&#39;s battle with OpenAI and Anthropic, Zuckerberg&#39;s renewed embrace of open models, the company&#39;s massive data center buildout, the backlash against AI infrastructure, and why Meta may be trying to position itself as the alternative to the AI safety movement.</p><p>We also get into the biggest problem with Zuckerberg&#39;s vision, and Mike explains why Zuckerberg is suddenly talking to the media again, how far behind Meta really is in the AI race, what the company&#39;s next generation of AI agents could look like, and what to watch for at Meta Connect. </p><p> </p><p><strong>To get access to ad-free listening and my weekly newsletter, subscribe to my Patreon or Substack 👇🏻</strong></p><p>Buy a paid subscription to my newsletter at<a href="https://www.usermag.co/"><u> ⁠https://www.usermag.co⁠</u></a>         </p><p>Support my work on Patreon:<a href="http://patreon.com/taylorlorenz"><u> ⁠http://patreon.com/taylorlorenz⁠</u></a> </p><p><br></p>
