Welcome to Uncanny Valley. Today we’re asking the question on everyone’s mind: “What is superintelligence?” Meta has just announced a major move in its AI efforts—“investing in Scale AI and building a superintelligence AI research lab.” After trailing big names like OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google, Meta is dropping serious cash to acquire talent and accelerate research. But what exactly is superhuman intelligence? Is it an AI that outthinks us in every domain, from science to creativity? Or a system that learns and adapts faster than any human could imagine? We’ll break down the deal between Meta and Scale AI, explore what Meta hopes to achieve with this investment, and probe the frontier where machine smarts may eclipse our own. Stick around as we unpack the promise—and the risks—of machines that could think faster, learn deeper, and maybe even surprise their creators.
