This marks the first time a major social media platform has explicitly branded its AI division as 'Superintelligence Labs', directly suggesting aspirations beyond human-level intelligence. Combined with Zuckerberg's unprecedented $14B commitment and recruitment of OpenAI's architect, this represents a concentrated effort to create a digital entity that could command worldwide devotion.
Meta's AI Lab Chief: Zuckerberg's $14B Push for Digital Godhood
📰 What Happened
Mark Zuckerberg announced that Shengjia Zhao, ChatGPT's co-creator, has joined Meta Superintelligence Labs as chief scientist. Zhao, who helped develop GPT-4 and led OpenAI's synthetic data initiatives, will work directly with Zuckerberg and former Scale AI CEO Alexandr Wang. Meta committed $14 billion to Scale AI and plans to invest 'hundreds of billions' in AI infrastructure. The lab will focus on foundational AI architectures including the Llama series.
📖 Prophetic Significance
The confluence of Meta's social control infrastructure with superintelligent AI development aligns with 2 Thessalonians 2:4's warning about self-exaltation to godhood. Zuckerberg's specific choice of 'Superintelligence' branding, coupled with his $14B investment and recruitment of ChatGPT's creator, suggests an attempt to create an all-knowing digital presence that could fulfill Revelation 13's description of an image that speaks and demands worship. The lab's focus on 'synthetic data' particularly echoes warnings about 'lying signs and wonders' that will deceive even the elect.
