You can thank Marc Andreessen whose world view is apparently limited solely to "Snowden is a traitor". Thank god someone like him has fuck you money and can shape the world to his desires (And I've heard he stole Mosaic code, which I don't know if it's true but would be consistent)

Marc Andreessen would be a perfect case study in duality if he actually had some redeeming qualities besides just being rich.

> if he actually had some redeeming qualities besides just being rich.

“Besides”? Being rich isn’t a redeeming quality, I’d say. It’s not even a quality in general.

The shape of his head might be interesting to study, though. Not in a phrenology sense, just anthropological, I’d be curious to see his skull.

How will a machine ever replace his famous warmth or empathy?

Actually it shouldn't be too hard, just a cardboard cutout with a pullstring which, when pulled, intones "we're really sorry about this and it will never happen again, I promise".

Reminds me of Notch from Minecraft fame. Struck lightning once and everything since has been pretty mediocre because he was lucky, not talented.

He build the company for years, and made the brand to everything it is now. "Luck once" is a weird POV

The game being successful wasn't luck but it being as successful as it was definately was. Block based games had existed for years before minecraft, I don't think there was any reason to believe that this one in particular was going to explode in 2010.

The games he made for programming competitions like ludum dare were decent. I especially enjoyed Prelude to the chambered.

These people are certifiable and have too much money to misallocate on nonsense. This is like Gavin Belson's holographic avatar (which of course did not work).

Seeing Zuck's "swag" makeover, down to the gold chain and Justin Timberlake curly coiff, I'd say the analogy should be Russ Hanneman's 100-foot Coachella hologram.

This is extraordinary. The FT piece says "They added that the character was being trained on the billionaire’s mannerisms, tone and publicly available statements, as well as his own recent thinking on company strategies, so that employees might feel more connected to the founder through interactions with it." Surely the more likely outcome is that employees feel less connected to "the founder" because they know that…

This sounds like a Sheldon plotline from The Big Bang Theory.
