Really interesting interview of Zuck
Some key excerpts.
Zuck's point on blurring line between public and private in many countries (especially China) is spot on. Biden can hate Elon, and yet Tesla can be fine. Not sure that's how it would work in most countries.
Opinion on BeReal
"in the beginning, they feel so fun and whimsical, and people feel like they can be authentic doing it. But then over time, you get used to it, and then it gets a little bit more professionalized"
Is he happy that he launched Metaverse last year? Should he have waited more? Zuck seems to have a sigh of relief that he didn't wait longer.
Of course, some comments on the rivalry against Apple.
To the extent AR/VR is the next computing platform, I think people underestimate how uncomfortable Meta might make Apple given Meta's approach to thin hardware gross margin.
Unless Apple shows dramatically better execution, they're gonna miss the fat margins of the current computing platform. It is perhaps in Apple's best interest for AR/VR to be niche and fringe platform.
