Is Sam consciously mirroring Mark's body language and style of dress, or is that just a weird coincidence?

Actually Sam Altman, Mark Zuckerberg and Peter Thiel has extremely similar body language and facial expressions.

Are you an idiot? Combine fecesbook with twitter, aol, myspace, linkedin, etc. and they are an order of magnitude less valuable than Google. Google did not start by being a voyeristic social network that anyone could copy and paste.

> So who doesn't want that, right? What about privacy? Doctors in my country (France) are legally obliged to respect the privacy of their patients and the confidentiality of medical data. A third-party cloud service, not so much. Edit: To be more precise, I'm not saying that medical apps can't be done right. I'm just disagreeing with the implication that an efficient medical app is automatically a good thing.

Erm, in the United States we have HIPAA which directly makes "a third-party cloud service" "legally obliged to respect the privacy of their patients and the confidentiality of medical data". Besides, using AI doesn't have to mean using centralized cloud architecture.

Election campaigners of Trump/Hillary would cringe at this video.

Zuck's body language looks bad because of the chair their are using. It is slanted and Zuck is sitting straight. It makes him look less relaxed (like a job interview). Same with Sam Altman.

Complete lack of emotions in Zuck's eyes. It might be part of his personality but it makes him look very detached from what he is talking about.

Refreshing advice: Work on a problem you care about and don't worry about the rest until it's working. > Sam: So you were 19 when you started Facebook. One question we hear a lot at Y Combinator is, "I'm 19 today. I really want to do whatever I can to make the world better. What should I do?" > Mark: I always think that the most important thing that entrepreneurs should do is pick something they care about, work on i…

And also be extremely lucky.

He gave away, or atleast appeared to give, 99% of his wealth away. I can think of better PR stunts for much less money. He is still a net positive person for me, who inspires me more than most others.

He gave his own facebook stock to his own charity. If you've ever owned a corporation, you know just how cynical, contriving, and conceitful that move is.

If you're giving away so many billion, you might as well oversee yourself how they are going to be spent. What sketchiness do you see here? It was already his money.

The good part is that if you are working on something you care about, you won't be as upset when you fail if you were building something just to become the next Zuck.

This does contrast with pg's story, however.

Am I the only one who see a some kind of deep emptiness in Mark's eyes?

Nah but i do think it seams like he is terrified of being caught.

Caught for what? I don't know. It is merely a feeling i get watching parts of the interview.

It might have something to do with him shaking his head slightly side to side most of the time.
