Mark Zuckerberg โ€” AI Will Write Most Meta Code in 18 Months

There's a very rapid curve on the uptake of people interacting with the AI assistance and like the learning feedback and kind of data flywheel around that.

Mark Zuckerberg โ€” AI Will Write Most Meta Code in 18 Months

And then there is also the build out of

Mark Zuckerberg โ€” AI Will Write Most Meta Code in 18 Months

supply chains and infrastructure and regulatory frameworks to enable the scaling of a lot of the physical infrastructure.

Dwarkesh Podcast
Mark Zuckerberg โ€” AI Will Write Most Meta Code in 18 Months

But I think at some level, all of those are going to be necessary and not just the coding piece.

Dwarkesh Podcast
Mark Zuckerberg โ€” AI Will Write Most Meta Code in 18 Months

I guess one specific example of this that I think is interesting, actually, even if you go back a few years ago, we had a project on, I think it was on our ads team, to automate

Mark Zuckerberg โ€” AI Will Write Most Meta Code in 18 Months

ranking experiments, right?

Dwarkesh Podcast
Mark Zuckerberg โ€” AI Will Write Most Meta Code in 18 Months

That's like a pretty constrained environment.

Dwarkesh Podcast
Mark Zuckerberg โ€” AI Will Write Most Meta Code in 18 Months

It's not like write open-ended code.

Mark Zuckerberg โ€” AI Will Write Most Meta Code in 18 Months

It's basically look at the whole history of the company, every experiment that any engineer has ever done in the ad system, and look at what worked, what didn't, what the results of those were, and basically formulate new hypotheses for different tests that we should run that could improve the performance of the ad system.

Dwarkesh Podcast
Mark Zuckerberg โ€” AI Will Write Most Meta Code in 18 Months

And what we basically found was

Dwarkesh Podcast
Mark Zuckerberg โ€” AI Will Write Most Meta Code in 18 Months

We were bottlenecked on compute to run tests based on the number of hypotheses.

Dwarkesh Podcast
Mark Zuckerberg โ€” AI Will Write Most Meta Code in 18 Months

It turns out even with just the humans that we have right now on the ads team, we already have more good ideas to test than you actually have either kind of compute or...

Dwarkesh Podcast
Mark Zuckerberg โ€” AI Will Write Most Meta Code in 18 Months

really cohorts of people to test them with.

Dwarkesh Podcast
Mark Zuckerberg โ€” AI Will Write Most Meta Code in 18 Months

Right.

Dwarkesh Podcast
Mark Zuckerberg โ€” AI Will Write Most Meta Code in 18 Months

Cause I mean, even if you have like three and a half billion people using your products, you still want each, you know, each test needs to be statistically significant.

Dwarkesh Podcast
Mark Zuckerberg โ€” AI Will Write Most Meta Code in 18 Months

So it needs to have, you know, some number of whatever it is, hundreds of thousands or millions of people.

Dwarkesh Podcast
Mark Zuckerberg โ€” AI Will Write Most Meta Code in 18 Months

And, um,

Dwarkesh Podcast
Mark Zuckerberg โ€” AI Will Write Most Meta Code in 18 Months

And there's kind of only so much throughput that you can get on testing through that.

Dwarkesh Podcast
Mark Zuckerberg โ€” AI Will Write Most Meta Code in 18 Months

So we're already at the point, even with just like the people we have, that...

Dwarkesh Podcast
Mark Zuckerberg โ€” AI Will Write Most Meta Code in 18 Months

that we already can't really test everything that we want.
