Mark Zuckerberg

“Zuckerberg had a great point in that article he just wrote... he said, why are you rushing to create a future that you don't believe in? You think you're going to basically put everyone out of work. You think you're creating a replacement species for humanity. Why are you rushing to create this if you're so bearish on the future that you're creating?”

“The effort is part of the 'personal superintelligence' vision outlined by CEO Mark Zuckerberg, though the company's AI software remains less powerful than that of rivals.”

“Mark Zuckerberg said something that I really liked. He's like, intelligence is not life. And these things that we associate with life, like we have an objective, we have free will, we're sentient — those just aren't part of a mathematical model.”

“Alexander Wang called the pricing of it in particular very aggressive versus OpenAI and Anthropic. As I said, Zuck broke a three-year silence on X to launch it.”

“Listed among attendees at Sun Valley alongside Bezos, Zuckerberg, Amodei, and others.”

“This is the first line of glasses that we've designed with our partner, Essilor Luxottica, from the ground up. It brings all of the functionality, including the most advanced AI models that we've built right into the glasses.”

“Zuckerberg names [bioweapons] his top concern for the next two years, alongside cybersecurity.”

“When we started that, we thought that that was really ambitious, cure and prevent all diseases this century. Now it's probably too conservative. I would guess it'll be much sooner than the end of the century when you get there.”

“The technology is secondary. The fashion and the wearing it is actually primary. In order to unlock that, it needs to be that the glasses are something that you're proud to wear, and they need to be comfortable, so that way you'll wear them for long periods of time.”

“What is the reason why five years from now, any of the glasses that people wear are not going to be able to have this kind of functionality to help people out throughout their day?”

“The Llama 4 model was not on the trajectory we needed to be. So we did this pretty big thing to reboot the lab and kind of build it up.”

“We funded the human cell atlas, which is now one of the largest databases of single cell transcriptomes.”

“Meta and Microsoft are both approaching 55% of revenue going to capex in 2026. In 2015, Meta was spending around 10%... The four biggest tech companies, Meta, Microsoft, Alphabet, and Amazon, are planning a combined $700 billion in capital expenditure in 2026 alone.”

“Zuckerberg said the worst case is that they 'just prebuilt for a couple of years.' Those are not confident statements. They are the sound of people who know what happens to the unprepared.”

“with a $500M commitment to the Virtual Biology Initiative. Building hierarchical world models of biology combining frontier AI with frontier wet-lab science.”

“You can't just go straight to cells in a way without understanding the protein modeling. And then if you're trying to understand something like the way the immune system works or a bunch of cells interact together, then it's tough to do that without first understanding cells... I do think that a big part of the strategy is this view that you need to build it up hierarchically.”

“Then a community came around Cell by Gene and started contributing more and more data that we had nothing to do with sort of creating or funding or making happen in the world. And now Cell by Gene is a corpus of knowledge that a lot of the transcriptomic-based models are based off of.”

“If you could unite this tribe in a single, great room — if you could convene Leonardo Del Vecchio, Howard Hughes, Kazuo Inamori, Sheldon Adelson, Ren Zhengfei, and Mark Zuckerberg — you would find deep unities between them.”

“The very fact that Meta needs an external hire to lead its core AI research effort signals structural weakness vs. peers.”

“Biohub's ESMFold2 release demonstrates that scaling laws apply to protein biology models just as they do to language models, and that inference-time scaling is now delivering real laboratory results.”

“We were the first people. We offered like $800 million cash with like a $900 million earn out... Their revenue was like $7 or $8 million a year.”

“I think about that all the time, to be 21 or 22 and being offered to be a billionaire and just the gall that he had.”

“CEO Mark Zuckerberg told shareholders the company can always rent out excess compute power to businesses if it winds up overbuilding.”
