This is nonsense.

Every new technology we discover from here on out has a compressed lifecycle.

math talent is over-rated.

I know many math talented guys - olympiad level. What are they doing 30 yrs on? nothing special.

The unfortunate truth for many is (and the lie they got told) - none of that stuff has any relevance to large contributions in the economy.

This is gonna sound evil but idc.

If I hire ex-Meta guys its for one reason only: squeeze them dry to repent their sins. Literally squeeze, squeeze... and squeeze and til they quit.

Personally I wish others would do it too. Working there is a choice.

Yeah. Its crazy really. His legacy still carries Apple to new highs. And they will continue doing so, Tim did a great job preserving the values at Apple whilst scaling.

Zuckerberg influenced people to hand over their personal data.

His team then enabled lots of people to become influencers. Those influencers influence their followers to buy products (aka generate ad-revenue).

And that is the pure essence of the business model.
