Zuckerberg: Meta's internal engineers will accelerate AI coding progress beyond rivals
“Having people internally build tools that, or solve tasks that that help teach the model how to code, We think is going to dramatically increase our model's coding ability faster than what others in the industry have the capability to do, who don't have thousa…”

Statements about Mark Zuckerberg, by other people (26)
Calacanis: Mark Zuckerberg is the greatest censor in human history
“His action was to be the greatest censor in the history of humanity. There's no human being who censored more humans than him.”
Sacks: Mandating government approval for AI will kill student startup innovation
“So you're going to replace permissionless innovation with going to Washington to go through some approval process, and it will be the politically connected, it'll be the big donors who get their projects approved, and the next Mark Zuckerberg, who's trying to …”
Friedberg: Zuckerberg should buy Epic Games for $50B instead of building metaverse
“If Zuck was a smart guy, he would go to Tencent and cut him a check and buy the whole thing for fifty billion and, you know, buy those guys.”
Calacanis: Developers are crazy to build on Meta's metaverse over decentralized platforms
“I think any developer who puts any amount of their effort into supporting in any way, Zuckerberg's view of the metaverse is crazy when they could do it on a distributed decentralized crypto based open source platform.”
David Sacks: Zuckerberg's Section 230 proposal is regulatory capture protecting Facebook
“Small startups can't hire 30,000 people to do content moderation. So this is like classic regulatory capture, but done brazenly in the open at a congressional hearing.”
Sacks: Deplatforming by Facebook and Twitter strips citizens of speech rights
“The town square is now owned by Facebook and Twitter. The town square got privatized and our speech rights are now in the hands of Mark Zuckerberg and Jack Dorsey as a practical matter. I mean, you do not have speech rights in the modern world if you get depla…”
Chamath: Zuckerberg's neutral free speech stance is socially and technologically untenable
“I think Zuck's position is the most defensible, but it also is the most untenable because it's the most, it's the least technologically and socially palatable, but it is the most defensible and philosophically, in my opinion, the only position you can have, bu…”
Palihapitiya: IRS has sued him and Zuckerberg for a decade over IP
“When I was helping to run Facebook, I was a signatory. When we were setting up Facebook abroad, we exported all of our IP to Ireland. And lo and behold, who do they sue? Zuck, Meta, and me. And we've been in this 10 year lawsuit, 15 year lawsuit with the IRS b…”
Calacanis: Zuckerberg's free speech pivot is strictly to appease Donald Trump
“I think he is terrified of Trump and having his company broken up, and he's doing this strictly to appease Trump.”
Bannister: 2025 leaks will reveal government coerced Zuckerberg into censoring Meta
“And after January, we're going to find out some interesting stuff and we'll get to the bottom of, you know, how did the government pressure him to censor things? And I think he's getting in front of that because it is going to come out. And I think that is a h…”
Calacanis: Zuckerberg would have doubled down on censorship if Harris won
“But I can tell you if Kamala Harris had been voted in, he would double down on censorship instead of taking this position.”
Levie: Zuckerberg's open-source strategy suppresses AI pricing for the industry
“Zuck is our counter pressure on the price of AI right now, and I think that he has a way of monetizing AI that is, I mean, Google kind of has a similar thing, but they're, they have a more existential challenge that I think they're actually doing relatively we…”
Zuckerberg told Phillips that verifying Facebook accounts is a competitive disadvantage
“I asked Mark Zuckerberg after a financial services hearing a couple years ago, you know, why, why doesn't Facebook just verify accounts, make this so much easier to hold people accountable and have higher standards of accountability? And he said it would be a …”
Sacks: Mark Zuckerberg contributed $11M to California's Proposition 15 campaign
“So so I saw that, that Mark Zuckerberg had contributed eleven million dollars to try and convince the people of California to vote for this prop 15, which is the largest property tax increase in California history.”
Calacanis: Meta sued every startup attempting to index its social graph
“Zuckerberg, please explain how this concept is compatible with the fact that you have sued every startup, many of which I've invested in, that has ever tried to index or use the social graph at Instagram or Facebook.”
Calacanis: Mark Zuckerberg is a political weathervane driven solely by growth
“I mean, if it was up to Zuckerberg, he would have continued to do it under Kamala. He did it with no problem under Biden. He's a weathervane. His entire position is based on what makes the system grow.”
Calacanis: Zuckerberg spent $150M on Meta's Oversight Board to dodge hard decisions
“Zuck created the oversight board. He's so spineless, he decided, I'll create and give a hundred fifty million dollars to this board to make these hard decisions for me, instead of me making the decision.”
Arora: Mark Zuckerberg's open-source AI models keep competitors honest
“Thanks to Mark Zuckerberg, throwing out open source models, he keeps them honest and fair everywhere around there, so we'll all get access to these models”
Chamath says Mark Zuckerberg burned a quarter-trillion dollars at Meta
“The guy burned a quarter trillion dollars and then found a way to stop it.”
Calacanis: Zuckerberg should have made Sandberg CEO of Facebook
“He should have put Sheryl Sandberg, a CEO of the Facebook corporation. He should have became CEO of Meta, and then he should have ran that other business to print even more profits.”
Friedberg: Tech founders Page, Brin, Zuckerberg, and Dorsey favor free speech
“All these guys, Larry, Larry and Sergei, Mark Zuckerberg, Jack Dorsey they are all fundamentally free speech people. They believe in the power of the open internet.”
Friedberg: Zuckerberg is much more product-driven than Larry Page was
“No, I think he's way more active and driven in terms of product direction than Larry ever was. So I don't think they're the same person and I wouldn't like in these two.”
