The man who built the future in the past, and the man who is building the future in the present, sat together speaking about the future seven years ago... amazing!

[artursouto]

"In a world that's changing so quickly, the biggest risk you can take is not taking any risk."
Wow...

[Bizarado]

The fact that 6 years ago he was already thinking of virtual reality and turning Facebook into the meta verse shows how far ahead he’s planning. Imagine what he has planned today for 10 years from now

[yyy]

I don’t think he’s awkward, he just doesn’t have the fake social switch that makes you copy other peoples way of talking dressing expression.
He’s himself because he doesn’t care.

[LucaMasters]

sama: "Tell me about your low points."
Zuck: "Well....once we were offered $1, 000, 000, 000."

[larslover]

"Dont actually commit to open a company until its actually working"
Grear advise! Instead of making fun and conspiracy theories maybe we should actually humbly listen and learn?

[Marlo]

Maybe they should sit like normal people next time.

[Muslaw]

In a world changing so fast, the biggest risk you can take is not taking any risk

[TheSmashten]

Everyone’s calling him “awkward”, but I think this he answered pretty honestly

[octavianmsongamwanja]

Well said Mark, Money does not generate ideas, but proven ideas will bring money.

[richardmuthui]

If Sam Altman only knew at the time of this interview that several years later his product, ChatGPT, was gonna spark off an AI revolution and arms race that would change the world forever.

[Tangyang]

Six years ago, Zuckerberg said his three most important things for the next decade were:

Connecting the other half of the world that isn't yet online.
AI.
New computing platforms beyond desktop and mobile, including virtual and augmented reality.

[richardspain]

Mark Zuckerberg was the captain of the Men's Fencing Team at my high school (Ardsley New York)!

2:41 "I went out to get pizza with (thinking: dont mention Eduardo dont mention Eduardo) ... a couple of my friends"

[gabetheape]

Why do his eyes look so cloudy? Is his software breaking?

[willhenrygates]

He's gotta be so sick of the early days questions. Every single interviewer asks him that.

[oldk]

2 awkward people having a conversation


Sounds like fun

[officialcharleswisdom]

It's like watching two AI's chat. And if that's not enough, they are dressed the same too... Love you both.
