Mark Zuckerberg is peddling a vision of the future where AI agents handle every aspect of life, from relationships to hobbies. But is this really progress? Love requires more than just data processing.

The poster I saw on my rock-climbing buddy’s wall was a bear walking a slackline over a canyon, with a sign that read 'Do cool shit.' It’s meant to inspire, but in reality, it’s empty. The effort and personal investment required for genuine inspiration are lost when an AI simply spits out a design.

Zuckerberg’s manifesto tries to soothe fears about job losses and government overreach, but the real issue is whether we want a future where technology replaces human interaction. Zuckerberg suggests every person will have a personal agent that works 24/7 on their behalf. But what does it mean if love can’t be reduced to an algorithm?

He uses an example of baking with his daughter, which could have been more meaningful and less about accomplishment than quality time. The point of hobbies is involvement—it’s the process that counts, not just the outcome. AI might streamline everything but at what cost? Our humanity.
