When you consider that Zuckerberg lies all the time about everything, it makes sense
- robbedpeter 5y agoI think he doesn't lie, he just has a severely warped view of reality, and an incredibly inflated sense of his own capabilities. He won a lottery and thinks it was intentional. His public blabber on ai and automation are a great peek inside his mind. The mindset is "That problem isn't solved because I haven't worked on it yet." There's no self awareness or humility involved, and he can afford the apparatus to maintain that for the rest of his life.
- sarajevo 5y agoThis is solid reasoning here. On the “lottery” side, imagine if he went to college (where he scraped student profiles) a couple of years before or after, his timing would be completely off and there would be no Facebook.

- colordrops 5y agoHe's not even close to this naive. He's a sociopath, as evidenced by even his earliest statements calling his users idiots for trusting him. I worked closely with Facebook around 2011 and everyone I encountered knew exactly what they were doing and that it was fucked up. It's very difficult for those with ethical and moral standards to grasp that there are truly nasty people out there.
- titzer 5y agoBoth things can be true. He can be a sociopath who knows what he is doing and naive true believer of his own abilities in alternating time slices. Most crazy people are several contradictory varieties of insane all at once.
- colordrops 5y agoWhat reason to you have to believe that he is anything but a selfish liar only out for himself?
