Mark Zuckerberg published "The Future is for Everyone," a statement of Meta's values for building what it calls personal superintelligence, arguing for individual empowerment, invention over automation, and balance of power rather than technical alignment of a single benevolent system. He positions Meta against labs building AI primarily for companies, governments, and institutions, and commits to free versions accessible to billions plus a dynamic auction mechanism for paid compute intended to give the lowest possible price. On infrastructure, Meta announced a Future Is For Everyone Fund and "Community Compacts," citing a $50,000 teacher bonus in Richland Parish, Louisiana funded by data center tax revenue, an America's Workforce Academy offering free skilled-trades training, and a pledge to be water-positive by 2030 with 200% restoration in high-water-stress areas.
