  "account": "Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg declared in a public post titled \"The Future is for Everyone\" that the future belongs to a select few billionaires. Zuckerberg argues that superintelligence should be centralized and directed towards improving the lives of the wealthy elite. He claims that Meta is developing AI models that will provide free or affordable access to billions of people, but the distribution and monetization of these tools will be controlled by Meta and a few other cloud service providers. Zuckerberg also references Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s statement about the arc of history bending towards justice, but ultimately dismisses its relevance in the context of AI and wealth distribution.",
