Mark Zuckerberg posts on X without link, shares AI vision

On the morning of 29 July (Vietnam time), Mark Zuckerberg posted a short status on X that expressed his belief that the future of artificial intelligence should be accessible to everyone. The post contained no external link. In a separate comment, he added a link to the full essay published in the Wall Street Journal, titled “The Future of AI Is for Everyone.”

X product lead Nikita Bier replied in the comment thread, joking that Zuckerberg no longer needed to hide the link in a comment. In the essay, Zuckerberg warned that the greatest risk from powerful AI is not the technology itself but the concentration of that power in the hands of a few large companies, which could dominate the economy, science and politics. He cited examples such as AI‑driven legal assistants that could level the justice system.

The incident highlights the familiar practice among social‑media users of posting external links in comments to avoid algorithmic de‑ranking, a habit that even the platform’s chief executive appears to follow.
