It must be so hard being Mark during interviews. You can see he has to word everything carefully because of how much a wrong word from him means.

Why do you not have chapters enabled on this podcast? :/

Mark should give his new comms team ALOT OF MONEY! This guy went from being a walking meme to most hated man in tech to being down to earth, likeable and funny.

My opinion about Mark has changed over the last few years because of his role in leading the open source revolution. I'm heavily dependent on some of the recent AI models open sourced by Meta, and not to forget all the AI researchers heavily depend on PyTorch. Thank you Mark, I'm glad and grateful that he is able to do what he does, and I'm rooting for him to succeed.

I really love that Mark is becoming more liked by the public, because Meta is pushing VR to where we VR lovers want it to be and i really love him for that ❤

[kelownatechkid]

This is a pretty good interview. Seems clear that Zucc is trying harder to improve his comms

[ScottThePisces]

Can someone please just ask the man about GTA SA VR lmao

[PeterNooteboom]

He swerved that data question pretty well. lol

[TheOvadex]

13:41 How's that gonna work out when all the other instances defederate from threads?

A lot are pre-blocking it. lol

[AlexisRoucourt]

Did Zuck completely change his diction and overall speech style? Sounds like a different person, much less stiff and stereotyped. Although in more business-focused questions later in the video he goes back to that style. Interesting interview overall.

Does anyone know which boom arm they use? It looks so sleek!

[mjmikaelson]

Great interview, thank you for sharing! 😊

[umairusman]

The fact that he said iOS is the dominant player in the market really shows how his prespectives are US centric.

[prabaljitwalia]

Mark is the most sought after CEOs. Meta is a really hard company to run, still he has done a terrific job!

[weeeeeoow]

it's midnight here and i have a bunch of work so I decided to search Mark Z on yt to see if I could find a channel where he vlogs, I hope I do

[whiteycat]

let me say it, great camera quality and colors. It just pops!

[bukurie]

Thank you for beautiful interview!An❤d to be human is a strong point🌏

[tonybayarea]

Mark, with Facebook owning Myspace. Is there any chance that Myspace social network gets revitalized and rebranded in (2024) for people to use on a weekly basis by the end of next year?

[Laurie-egct]

Everything he says about Twitter is correct.
