THE FUSE

Something shifted last week inside a corporate compound in Menlo Park. Meta has begun building a 3D, photorealistic AI persona of Mark Zuckerberg, trained on his voice, mannerisms, public statements, and strategic thinking. The intent is to give employees direct, on-demand access to their CEO. Or rather, to a convincing simulacrum of him. Simultaneously, a separate CEO agent handles Zuckerberg's own information retrieval, collapsing the management layers that ordinarily stand between a leader and raw data. Two bots. One wearing a founder's face, the other running on his behalf. Welcome to the new org chart.
