| CEOs (and other spokespeople) are actors paid to believe things convincingly in front of other people. |

| As you describe him Zuck sounds very much like the AI he's trying to sell. |

| Why are you comparing 2000s Steve Jobs to Zuck? |

| ▲ | danpalmer 2 days ago | parent [-] | | Felt like the best example of a true believer. I'd say a similar, but less clear version, would be Dario Amodei vs Sam Altman. I don't agree with either, but Dario comes across as a true believer who would be doing AI regardless of the current trends, whereas Sam comes across as a chancer who would be doing cryptocurrencies if that was still big, or social media if that was still the next big thing, evidenced by the fact that he did both of those but they didn't stick so he moved his focus on. Jobs would have been doing consumer computing hardware whatever happened. Apple in the early days wasn't the success it is now, he was fired and went and started another company in the same space (NeXT). |

| Surely this is the end of Zuck? |
