I think this is the problem for companies with a single person atop - when the company needs things they aren’t good at, the company cannot respond effectively. Zuckerberg was good at running a company to sell ads on an addictive platform; whether that will make him good at the next ten years of profitable tech innovation is difficult to see; people hate ads and dislike the addictions, so Anthropic or whom ever has to walk a different path; they have multiple smart people working together to find that path; Meta does not seem to have that collective vision of competing experts to draw on.

Yeah this type of conflation gets used a lot

A common one is "users don't care about privacy. that's why they use facebook. [zuckerberg was right?]"

No, you silly, silly people. People want to use products that allow them to communicate or reconnect with people or ...

They don't 'want' constantly changing privacy settings or changing TOS. If this is the best HN can come up with, ostensibly filled with S Valley people... well, it says a lot

I suspect there are many things AI can do to help people and make their lives better. But that's not how business works: products get made and marketed because they make their owners more money. Totally different goal.
