The story behind the story

At Meta Connect, Mark Zuckerberg was the whole show, giving it a “Zuck or nothing” feel, and he has never seemed more intent on claiming the mantle of innovator

The company has an expansive vision for the future — and until then, some incremental updates

    Craziest story arc ever Zuck goes from evil incel who the entire world hates to evil tech rizz master who is somehow likable Historic turnaround. Study this. [image]

  • @richardhanania Richard Hanania on x
    Zuckerberg is now a libertarian, or classical liberal. This appears not to be a conversion where politics becomes important to him like Elon, at least not yet, but it seems that he just doesn't want the headache of conservatives yelling at him all the time. [image]

    Stuff like this is why I say Zuck has the makings of a great statesman, LKY tier. He kept pushing with Reality Labs and Metaverse for decades, in the face of mounting costs, ridicule by snarky peons, stack changes. And now he shall seize this market. That's how you run empires.

    yknow I was never on the zuck hate train he was just a boss nerd. gates was ruthless, jobs was jobs, they're just doing the best they can but somehow, without my willing it, just from arm's-length observation, an opinion of sam altman has coalesced in my head and it's not good

    In case you were wondering, Zuck's shirt says “either Zuck or nothing” in Latin. [image]

    If you had told me 5-years-ago that Mark Zuck would be more widely revered in the public eye than Elon Musk, I'd have thought the world ended.
  • @lulumeservey Lulu Cheng Meservey on x
    Respectfully but candidly: On the image front, it feels like Zuck has been getting fluffed a bit too much and has jumped the shark. The email leak (below) changed the dynamic. The “based awakening” thing worked because it felt effortless and insouciant. Recently, it's been

    i know meta has invested a lot into reality labs and they probably would have built the glasses anyway but i can't help thinking about how badly he must want to destroy snapchat lol. evan turns down the acquisition, zuck puts stories into everything and now has better AR glasses …
  • @deliprao @deliprao on x
    zuck casually dropping in jensen as one of the glass test subjects is the most alpha-ceo thing i've seen
  • @alexheath Alex Heath on threads
    And here's my full interview (audio podcast and video) with @zuck.  We talk about a lot: why he thinks AR glasses are they future, AI, why he's done with politics, and more https://www.theverge.com/...
  • @reckless1280 Nilay Patel on threads
    This is broadly how basically every tech company feels about the value of AI training data — they are using so much of it no single creator or publisher matters, and they're striking deals to keep the loudest happy.  Sort of good that @zuck just came right out and said it on Deco…
  • @w3stfa11 Gabriel Flores on threads
    Excellent Threads related questions by @alexheath with @zuck!  —  Definitely seems like Zuck and team want to take things in a slightly different direction (in regard to politics on Threads) to achieve a billion-person app (something Twitter never did) …
  • @alexcartaz Alex on threads
    AR glasses replacing your phone seems insane to me Some activities / use cases are streamlined via audio I/O, and some via AR visuals, but the majority of things ppl do on their phone are not.  AR will likely eventually be huge and great in many ways but not a phone replacement
  • @jimprosser Jim Prosser on threads
    I have to imagine the aftermath of the 2016 election/Cambridge Analytica looms large in Zuck's head as he makes a full-throated defense on child safety concerns here.  He got rolled by the conventional wisdom when he recanted his assertions then.  No more. https://www.theverge.co…
  • @abelian_cat Paul Pantea on threads
    Zuck on Deocder with @alexheath about Meta's partnership with EssilorLuxottica: Italy has set up to be the place to build the next generation of smart glasses, like South Korea is the hub for building smartphones.  Eurobros, we're so back 🇪🇺
  • @nick_statt Nick Statt on threads
    So @alexheath sat down with Zuckerberg this year for Meta Connect.  He had a lot of spicy things to say, particularly around the AI training debate, getting blamed for Cambridge Analytica, the link between teen mental health and products like Instagram, and his current hands-off …
  • @reckless1280 Nilay Patel on threads
    Second exclusive alert: @zuck is on a special video episode of Decoder this week, interviewed by @alexheath.  Lots in here — everything from Threads to politics to the future of AR tech https://www.theverge.com/...
  • @maxwinebach Max Weinbach on x
    So this video from The Verge on Project Orion from Meta shows me sorta 2 things 1. The hardware can exist, but not at the scale that's needed for any retail device 2. The silicon is basically there, and only gets better from here, but we're waiting on hardware to catch up
  • @jason_kint Jason Kint on x
    Oh come on, Alex Heath. It's one thing to let Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg spread misleading history as part of your getting access and an exclusive interview but it's another thing to do it for him. You stated this for him rather than fact-checking on what actually happened? /1 …
