Curing, preventing or managing all disease by the end of the century is now too conservative a goal.
But still, I thought that by the end of the century was a stretch. Now, I think it's like uh too conservative.
“Curing All Disease by next century is too conservative" - Mark Zuckerberg Said 10 Jun 2026
The point is not to cure diseases but to build the tools with which the whole scientific field cures them.
And again, I mean, the the theory isn't that we're going to cure the diseases. We're not. um it's that we want to help accelerate the pace of progress for the whole scientific field.

This work could have been run as a business; open-sourcing it simply puts the tools in more scientists' hands faster.
I mean it's not actually clear that we couldn't run it as a business if we wanted to. I just think that we'll have a bigger impact by getting this in more scientist hands quicker

Biology models are smaller than language models only because there is less data, not because biology is simpler.
I think in a lot of ways the data is actually even more of a constraint and um because if you look at like the scale of these models compared to language models they're smaller but they're smaller because the amount of data is less
“Curing All Disease by next century is too conservative" - Mark Zuckerberg Said 10 Jun 2026
There is no factory you can pay to produce biological data; each new dataset requires inventing a new scientific method first.
it's not just like there's some factory somewhere that you can pay to produce the the data like you actually need to invent new novel scientific approaches

Tools this complicated need a ten-to-fifteen-year horizon, which is why they belong in a philanthropy rather than a startup.
I think part of the theory is like if you're building tools that are this complicated, you kind of want to have a 10 to 15 year time horizon on on building out these efforts.

Disease will never be finished, because the body is a dynamic system: fix one thing and the next appears.
I mean, I'm optimistic it'll be sooner. I mean, I think that the thing that's complicated is that it's a dynamic system, right? So, if you fix something, there will obviously be future things that you need to work on.

The right unit of study is a system like inflammation rather than a named disease — understand the system and others can build the therapies.
rather than studying the specific diseases we think that by trying to understand inflammation more broadly that will make it so that other companies that can then use these tools can work on specific therapies.
“Curing All Disease by next century is too conservative" - Mark Zuckerberg Said 10 Jun 2026
There will be no central superintelligence that solves science; a good future is many people holding powerful tools.
We don't believe in this like very centralized future where there should be a small number of institutions that um that basically are are advancing all this stuff. Our vision is not that there's going to be like some central super intelligence that solves all of science.
“Curing All Disease by next century is too conservative" - Mark Zuckerberg Said 10 Jun 2026
People will matter more in an AI future, not less, and giving them better tools is what makes that future a good one.
I think like people are really important and I think we'll be more important in the future and giving people more tools to be more productive is going to be like a critical part of any kind of positive future
“Curing All Disease by next century is too conservative" - Mark Zuckerberg Said 10 Jun 2026
Progress has never come from centralization; it comes from individuals trying things the mainstream had written off.
that's how progress has always been made historically, right? It's not um through centralization. It's through empowering individuals to try things that are somewhat out of the mainstream that other people didn't think were good ideas
“Curing All Disease by next century is too conservative" - Mark Zuckerberg Said 10 Jun 2026
Social media and open-source AI come from the same conviction: hand the technology to individuals.
I mean to some degree it's like why you create something like social media, right? To give people a voice.
“Curing All Disease by next century is too conservative" - Mark Zuckerberg Said 10 Jun 2026
Open-sourcing biology models is right in principle but has to be balanced against biosafety.
In terms of science, I think it really makes sense and we're deeply committed to open source. Um, there are obviously interesting considerations on this that are important too because there's a lot of considerations around biosafety and things like that that we're going to need to balance and think through how to how to handle.

Progress in AI takes a very strong dozen or two researchers, not hundreds or thousands of them.
in order to make progress in AI you don't need like many many hundreds of AI researchers um or thousands or anything like that I think you can really make progress with um you know a very strong group of a dozen or a couple dozen people.

An exponential feels like it cannot possibly keep going, which is exactly why people keep expecting AI progress to stop.
when you have an exponentially growing curve, I think the way that an exponential curve feels is it's growing so quickly that the the kind of emotional feeling is it can't possibly keep going, right?

The real world is not the physical world; it is the physical and digital worlds coming together into one experience.
And I kind of think increasingly, the physical world is super important, but I actually think the real world is the combination of the physical world and the digital worlds coming together.

By the end of the 2020s, walking into a room will mean seeing as many holograms as physical objects.
And in that world, I think that there are going to be, not too far off, maybe by the end of this decade, we'll be living in a world where there are as many holograms when you walk into a room as there are physical objects.
Mark Zuckerberg: First Interview in the Metaverse | Lex Fridman Podcast #398 Said 28 Sept 2023
Screens, books, art and board games are all better as holograms you can summon and dismiss than as physical objects.
I mean, any screen that you have can be a hologram, any media, in any book, art. It can basically be just as effective as a hologram, as a physical object. Any game that you're playing, a board game or any kind of physical game, cards, ping pong, things like that, they're often a lot better as holograms.

The future is a variety of AIs each person works with, not one big super intelligence.
I don't think we necessarily want there to be one big super intelligence. We want to empower everyone to both have more fun, accomplish their business goals, just everything that they're trying to do. We don't tend to have one person that we work with on everything, and I don't think in the future we're going to have one AI that we work with.

Open sourcing a foundation model creates significantly more value than the risk it carries.
I think at this point there's the value of open sourcing, a foundation model like Llama 2. It's significantly greater than the risks in my view.
Mark Zuckerberg: First Interview in the Metaverse | Lex Fridman Podcast #398 Said 28 Sept 2023
Building an AI that embodies a real person is a much harder problem than inventing a new AI character from scratch.
So that's a lot of what I think we need to nail for the creators, and that's why that one is actually a much harder problem, I think, than starting with new characters that you're creating from scratch.
Mark Zuckerberg: First Interview in the Metaverse | Lex Fridman Podcast #398 Said 28 Sept 2023
An AI copy of a person is worth building while they are alive, to meet demand for their attention, not as a way to talk to the dead.
So at some point, I think making it so that you could build an AI version of yourself that could interact with people not after you die, but while you're here to help people fulfill this desire to interact with you and your desire to build a community.

Digital worlds should carry fewer restrictions than the physical one, because acts that would do damage in reality do none there.
So it's like, is that problematic? I don't think so because fundamentally you're not causing harm in that world. So I think that part of the question that I think we need to figure out is what are the ways where things could have been harmful in the physical world that we'll now be freed from that? And therefore there should be fewer restrictions in the digital world.

Toxic behaviour online is a consequence of anonymity removing the repeat game that makes people behave well in person.
It's because you have one identity. And if you stiff them, then life is a repeat game and that's not going to work out well for you. But in a digital world where you can be anonymous and show up in different ways, I think the incentive to act like a good citizen can be a lot less, and that causes a lot of issues and toxic behavior.

Sending a model of a face beats sending pixels: a photorealistic avatar is more bandwidth-efficient than a video call.
So, in addition to being photorealistic, it's also actually much more bandwidth efficient than transmitting a full video or especially a 3D immersive video of a whole scene like this.
Mark Zuckerberg: First Interview in the Metaverse | Lex Fridman Podcast #398 Said 28 Sept 2023
After text, photos and video, immersive presence is clearly the next frontier of how people communicate.
And I think the ability to be immersed and feel present with the people around you or the people who you care about is, from my perspective, clearly the next frontier. It just so happens that it's incredibly technologically difficult.

Computers, TVs and phones are badly designed for people because they keep us sitting still, and the human experience is a physical one.
But they're fundamentally like you're sitting, you're still. I mean, people are just not meant to be that way. I mean, I think you and I have this shared passion for sports and martial arts and doing stuff like that. We're just moving around. It's so much of what makes us people is like, you move around. You're not just like a brain and a tank. It's where the human experience is a physical one.

What is a korrent?
A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at korrents.com.
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said. The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.
