Why do tech leaders keep waxing lyrical about artificial intelligence?

Zuckerberg's latest manifesto echoes earlier techno-optimist rants, arguing that AI will create more jobs than it eliminates. Yet, as Meta cuts staff, his convictions ring a little hollow.

Others like Sam Altman and Dario Amodei join the chorus of positive forecasts, framing AI's potential benefits while downplaying its risks.

The push for open-source AI brings both promise and peril, as some question whether such powerful tools should be shared with the world.

With public outrage over AI's impact on jobs and the environment, these manifestos aim to paint a rosy future but may fall short of convincing many.
