I think he’ll be looked back as one hit wonder, lacking any ethics to grow his company. He pumped a whole bunch of money in VR that didn’t seem to go anywhere and now AI seems like a fine direction to go in, copying the herd, with dangerous disregard to ethics.
100% agree, so many flops right at the top VR/AR Threads AI Probably missing some more..

Re: Mark Zuckerberg Shakes Up Meta's A.I. Efforts, Again
#32I really wonder how Zuckerberg will be looked back on. It's seemed obvious that he's an incredible CEO given the growth we saw with Facebook, but maybe he was just in the right place at the right time and had a cash cow that was difficult to mess up? Because when I look at the Metaverse and I look at this AI stuff... I dunno. Feels like throwing spaghetti at the wall.

> I think he’ll be looked back as one hit wonder, lacking any ethics to grow his company. I can't take this seriously - it reeks of hindsight bias. Zuckerberg's "one hit" was thefacebook.com. After facebook.com went public he, seemingly immediately, decided to buy Instagram and go all in on mobile. At the time, people thought he had way too much power due to the stock structure and many people thought his bet on mobi…
"I don't think there is a single founder/CEO in the 21st century that is performing better than Zuckerberg. I understand he's not a likable guy, and neither are are his products." Spot on.

Musk has performed an order of magnitude better IMO. Started 7 billion dollar companies, all of which are an order of magnitude harder to manage than Facebook which is a cash cow. Especially Space X which is incredible in what it's been able to do and actually has a positive impact on humanity

#37Gotta assume this was the plan all along. And would have been plan A if they weren't caught flat footed by chatgpt

Some of what you're remembering was Sheryl Sandberg's doing.

That seems impossible. What does that say about us?
I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that most of the products being promoted are actually highly treasured by a large number of people.

#40ok, but I want to know if these superstars still had to leetcode interviews.
Yeah I mean I know these are experienced AI experts, but they could be faking or coasting. We better give a twentysomething Sr. Software Engineer veto power over these hires just to be sure./s
