The Mark Zuckerberg Interview
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 вер 2024
- Mark is the iconic founder CEO of our time. At Chase Center on September 10, 2024, he did an unprecedented thing: a live conversation in front of 6,000 people on Meta’s company strategy, sharing stories from early Facebook history, and his thoughts on the future of AI, VR, and AR. Mark was remarkably candid in our discussion, and gave us a window into his real and intense daily demeanor leading Meta. (And his other life endeavors!)
We can't wait to release the complete video of the whole night, including our surprise conversations with Daniel Ek, Emily Chang, and cameo appearances from Jensen Huang and Mike Taylor (the incredible singer of “Who Got the Truth?”). That’s coming in a couple weeks, but for now: enjoy this conversation with Mark Zuckerberg.

Certainly not the best chemistry between the interviewers and Mark...
Mark is awkward.
yeah they are not working off each other at all, I am hardcore cringing
Guy with short hair is actually a good interviewer but dude with long hair kept taking the convo off a different path that interrupted Mark too much.
Sorry, but I can't watch this one 😵💫
Dude that's EVERY interviewer and Mark, I'm convinced he's an android, go watch his congressional testimony lmfao
I don't know why, but I felt some weird energy between Ben and David, and Mark. Like something was off during conversation. It looked like Mark didn't get a chance to talk what he wanted about, and Ben and David didn't get the course of the interview they expected and planned, and like they had a silent battle over it. I think they both got nervous at one point when felt Mark is not happy how interview is going.
Mark probably wanted to use this platform and event to talk about the future of Meta, Ben and David are by nature of their podcast leaning towards history. They probably wanted to find some middle ground, but it didn't look very natural.
But I understand, it's a live event, can't be perfect. I'm sure they'll learn a lot from this one and be much better next time.
It seemed like they were too intimidated by him. He kicked things off with that awkward "I don't apologize anymore," but they just sat there, not pushing for more or asking about what he thought people expected him to apologize for. Instead, they just started with basic questions that we all know about his FB journey and kept praising him, literally every question was pure dickriding, they even seemed scared to ask anything wrong or challenging, there was stupid micro-pause before they spoke like they were afraid of setting him off
mark is always acting
something was definately off
agreed this interview was terrible
They couldn’t just let him elaborate on what he was saying lol
you guys did a great job with this one. I would be nervous too if i was to interview a titan like mark zuckerberg. The more titans you get to interview the easier it'll get. Keep it going guys. best regards from canada.
Super happy for Ben and David for growing such a great podcast and being able to host this. Thanks guys! Keep up the good work.
These two interviewers are too scared, nervous, or amateur to interview mark with actual good questions. missed opportunity
No u suck
Thank you for this interview! It was insightful and interesting. Glad I found you guys.
He kept talking to you instead of taking the call abt his kid in the hospital. Bravo
Ben and David were definitely awkward in this one! You can see them trying to steer the direction into what they want and asking about golden nuggets they found from the past and it just doesn’t feel natural.
Just let the guy talk
At ~11mins when zuck talked about building their own experiences. Steve Jobs said the same thing 20 years ago: “people who are serious about building software build their own hardware.”
Great interview! I listened to the audio at the gym and then watched the video after a walk with my friend. My big takeaway from this is that Meta is ultimately a technology company with talented people that is focused on enabling human connection. I’ve heard the approach of shipping a product quickly and having a feedback loop to learn from users, but it’s clicking more with me now. Looking at Meta that way helps me see the vision behind Reality Labs. Meta is following its goal of enabling human connection. I use video calls every day, but I feel like there is something better that’s coming, and I’m glad smart people are working towards it. I am appreciative of Meta’s open source contributions because I get to benefit from some of the technology smart people have made and possibly contribute to it as well. I was surprised to see Mark comment on politics. He started a project in college likely without politics on his mind, and now it has a role in politics. After collecting feedback, Meta iterates on how it fills this role. Thank you for this insightful interview - it’s nice seeing you guys branch out with a live event and learn in the hot seat. I’m a long time listener and I am excited to see more content going forward!
Beautiful 🔥🔥🔥
Ironically, he says Facebook is about social connections but we know that facebook and instagram has the opposite effect. And the hosts are just listening and nodding 😢
His new look is... interesting. Like "how do you do fellow kids" but if you had a billion dollar budget.
It's amazing how people allow history to be rewritten like he didn't take the idea he was hired to do the website for, and then disown and betray every business partner and friend he ever seemed to have and catapulted the site and the business by misleading people into giving up their data...? How do we arrive at hero status? This is the same way Diddy, Blake Lively, Kim K. and even Harvey Weinstein were so celebrated- so many people depend on them for their immediate job or long term financial success, where otherwise they'd dial 911 and testify at their indictment. ❤
Underrated comment!
Spot on stuff.
election interference, censorship, and many many other nasty things, but he smirks: "i don't apologize anymore"
also, let's fact check them:
Betrayal of Partners: Zuckerberg faced legal disputes with the Winklevoss twins, who claimed he stole their idea for Facebook. The case settled for $65 million, and co-founder Eduardo Saverin also sued over being unfairly diluted, leading to another settlement.
Data Misuse: Zuckerberg was heavily criticized for his role in the Cambridge Analytica scandal, where Facebook allowed third-party apps to misuse users' data. He faced legal actions for failing to protect privacy and misleading users about data security.
Celebrity Comparisons: Comparisons to figures like Harvey Weinstein are exaggerated. While Zuckerberg has faced ethical criticism, there is no evidence of criminal behavior on that level.
He did the best PR campaign ever. Dunking on Elon.
@@thundercat6963 lmao, you mean Zuck is Cuck memes
Great interview!
such a bland conversation. Jensen was a much better host that these two back in siggraph
Jensen interrupted him a lot he was not the best host either
Holy shit these interviewers were terrible
They are usually great.
What date is this interview?
Gorgeous setting
It's painful watching this interview. These interviewers man!!
Absolute wannabe's. The bar is EXTREMELY low these days to have a podcast and talk like you know something.
Dude they're sponsored by JP Morgan, one single word off and that sponsorship is gone, that's why they can't make any real question.
That guy literally silenced millions of people who had doubts about the pandemic, and nothing happened to him, do you think these podcasters can do anything?
They have their hands tied, like almost all influencers and media
Was good! but i recommend host to be most prepare next time and ask pertinent question
bruh nah wtf was 35:55 Mark was totally cooking lmao
100%, I think David realized he stepped in it too.
Good interview, got better half way through
Yes! I was waiting for this
So stoked for this!
This interview is absolutely fantastic-thank you so much for sharing! Mark has always been someone I’ve admired immensely. He’s built an incredible company, and I’m beyond excited to have him as a leader I can learn from. The story about his daughter wanting to be like Taylor Swift was amazing-such a fun and inspiring moment!
LOL... if you "admire immensely" then you have issues, or you don't know his history.
Let your guest speak, you aren't the main character.
He is impossible to listen to, non stop waffle.
The Bernard Madoff of business ideas and personal data.
If any of the critical comments with good points or personal opinions disappear, I'm going to make a video on it. On my main channel. *PROMISE.*
Tim-O-Theeeee! ❤
they liked only one comment who did not criticize LOL
They deleted my comment:(
called the PR era where he pulls the wool over most everyones eyes cause he got a new hair style and bought a chain and ppl are lazy thinkers. Guy has a 15-20 yr track record that ppl so quickly allow themselves to willfully ignore. Zuck will always be original zuck. His single decision the metaverse almost sunk meta entirely. If AI didnt come along so he could copy it like everything he does that works it would have been end days and life support for meta. Opensource which LLAMA is not to be clear and I really wish 'journalists' would stop saying it is, was the obvious choice as meta was so far behind on ai. So dont let it get framed like he is doing something good for society. It was their only option strategically.
Lazy thinkers- that's the term. Under rated comment. ❤
Instead of sitting and commenting, why don't you create something of use to society? If you can't do it, keep quiet and learn from people who have achieved in life.
@@Truth123-c3j
What has he achieved??
Steal from other people's work?
@@Truth123-c3j I’ve done plenty in my actions and decisions haven’t killed people, but thanks you bozo
As you see, kids.... even Jeffrey Dalhhhmerrr would be welcome on the podcast and interview circuit too in today's world if he could get clicks and views.
What do you think is going to be the act that pulls all of it together into a clear vision?
I know you guys focus on a companys history but bringing up sum html architecture from ipo days when he’s talking about owning the next generation platforms (ai, ar) is actually insane lmao

I am hoping you all are doing well in both health and work. The following is a fragment of my viewpoint related to what Mark has expressed here…
It´s always good to have a good conversation, yeah... But here, I have noticed there are ergonomic glasses in order to interact with the Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) [either A.I. Or AI hereafter]... But, I don´t believe there is one Facebook employee who could handle... Let´s say 10,000 persons a day... 10,000 accounts a day... Let´s say a 12 hr. Shift per day. That´s probably the reason why Facebook is working with A.I. Today. "BUT", it definitely reflects the lack of responsibility related to vital areas to cover. This is not a negative criticism, this is a positive criticism in order to show respect for others (humans). A.I. Is not doing its job... And it psychologically is diminishing human beings, mostly with the term: erroneous algorithms, for instance. Facebook is getting used to apply A.I. On people, instead of making things easier for employees, it simply is punishing humans.
I have experienced several bully actions from the A.I. That Facebook is applying in its platform [I am referring to Facebook... Not Instagram, not WhatsApp]...I´ve noticed there are some videos uploaded that Facebook allows, as movies, music clips, and they are still are ON in Facebook... There are no copyrights matches and allegations or claims related to the same, even if they don´t have the movie´s name on those posts that I have seen.
Additionally, related to Marketplace, there are restrictions applied to Facebook Users even if they don´t violate Facebook´s Policies. I believe this is getting out of Facebooks Hands since there are several... I mean too many issues related to these mentioned. There is a new option related to posting pictures with music on the User´s Stories... Additionally, Facebook also offers the option on posting music as shorts in the Facebook User´s Story, but Facebook doesn´t have the rights to do so... Why claiming about posting either videos, regular videos taken on any spot with music in the background, and the Facebook warns its users due to "Copyrights" or alike, related to ¨Author Rights¨, but its platform promotes posting music that Facebook has no rights to do so. I honestly don´t see it fair, and mostly if the A.I. Is judging others on this. I have posted music from Guatemala, on Facebook, where we, my colleagues or alike and I have worked on, and Facebook still POINTS OUT THAT MY STORY CAN´T BE POSTED DUE TO COPYRIGHTS on this. Facebook doesn´t own all music in the planet... It´s just as if I was pointing out on companies in the U.S., or elsewhere, related to using others´ music, in spite I don´t even live there.
Now, originally, I remember Facebook was categorized as a Social Platform, and persons still refer to this platform as a Social Platform... Now, related to that term "Human Communication" Company, I don´t buy it. First off, due to the policies presented in the platform... They mention things that Facebook does not respect, as for instance, the examples on how to use the videos and music, Copyrights, Intellectual Property and alike... Additionally, I honestly don´t believe all Facebook´s employees would be able to handle all the Facebook´s Users around the Globe. Reason Why I think of the following: If Facebook grows, and obtains benefits from its Marketplace sales, for instance, and if they proceed working in the International Space which is the Internet, then Facebook should respect the way of treating its users, mostly by not just applying in a greater percentage the A.I. As if showing its users a Human Being is handling their either queries, or restricting ASSUMED actions against Facebook´s Policies.
I have been banned from Marketplace, while Facebook at all times shows the option to boost [release] an Ad, suggesting to purchase a package to promote either a service or a product. Notwithstanding, the issue is: while posting as a regular service on the Marketplace option, to share it in other community groups or alike, most of the time they are banned or restricted and a warning pops up explaining the user the service Is Not Allowed in Marketplace due to Facebook´s Policies... Notwithstanding, when posting the SERVICE as A PAID AD, then Policies are left behind. DON´T OFFER A SERVICE IF YOU DON´T LET USERS DO THE SAY MANUALLY IN THE MARKETPLACE AREA Mr. Zuckerberg.
Additionally, don´t warn and restrict Facebook´s Users on something you are doing, as for instance, the Copyrights on music, while you are showing off with the option on posting music (I am referring to the Users´ Stories).
I don´t know... I honestly find it UN-CONVINCING the way handles things...
As of now, so you know, I was banned from Marketplace, and the reasons are clear. I explained my reasons to your either Customer Service Representative or A.I. (or probably a mix of both), but no response from the moment I was banned. I was banned about three or four days ago from my Marketplace, and it was ASSUMINGLY because my Facebook account was hacked... But it has never been hacked... Thereafter, I believe it was your A.I. Probably a Customer Service Representative, and with no reason, even without a notice, your Representative (who knows if it was a human or your A.I.), simply stopped responding to me, following the confirmation that I submitted related to my Facebook account not being hacked, and I was simply banned from my Facebook Marketplace, with no notice. Additionally, I have submitted about 10 times the explanations, and your policies with links, and no answer.
Let me remind you, Mark, you are dealing with HUMANS, and RIGHTS are in JEOPARDY while you handle with HUMANS throughout your whole platform, YOU ARE NOT DEALING WITH A.I. CUSTOMERS.
Let´s say you don´t get the profits you would expect, but letting Facebook grow, globally, of course, I can imagine lets you obtain profits out of it; otherwise, you would not own the installations that Facebook has today. And, I also believe that letting Facebook grow as much as it has, it is a responsibility to handle, not just to use a ROBOT (A.I. In this category) to judge humans.
How many humans are enrolled to Facebook? An equivalent amount of persons as the amount of persons that you have in your Facebook´s Installations? It is a legit commitment and responsibility that you have in your hands, it´s not just a cyber-platform where you sale specific either services or products (tangible or non-tangible). The Social Communication Company NEEDS to handle the RESPONSIBILITY related to Volume and Scale.
Man, if you guys knew how it feels to be banned from Marketplace on Facebook, it honestly hits the core of my ego, which I believe is the MAIN REASON WHY THE A.I. Is definitely acting, and in some circumstances, it also commits crimes since it, the A.I., might (the most probable) NOT UNDERSTAND HOW BAD IT FEELS, in spite explanations are presented. Probably letting Facebook operate just within the U.S. Or in a limited amount of countries would be the best you could do if you cannot handle the volume of Facebook´s Users around the Globe. Try making a balance related to the human users that you can handle instead of just throwing the A.I. Into Jeopardizing the Human Dignity.
What could be a great remedy to this? I guess a competitive LEGIT HONEST Authority could handle that.
I am sorry if I am being that frank and honest, but I honestly believe the way you Mark Zuckerberg and Facebook are handling the aforementioned… In conclusion: You are not ready and prepared to keep practicing whatsoever you are practicing with the volume of persons that you and your A.I. Are handling… But still, you are far away making a stable income.
All the best,
Maximo F. Wilhelm Muñoz.
The detour lol
Wow so many haters here. Life is short maybe move on rather than be hateful .
Try evaluating fraud, fraudsters, and thieves by their path to success, not just clapping because they have a company, CEO position, or podcast on UA-cam.
stop interrupting and let zuck talk
Mark - "once I learned how to remember to blink when I was talking to people that changed EVERYTHING"
Oh man the song is slow in 1x 😂😂😂
Am used to 2x in Spotify and this feels like this guys are about to sleep
That was very awkwarddddd
Kanye is the fashion designer thats inspiring Zuck
It's insane to me how Elon is literally landing rockets in the middle of the sea, building satellite constellations for those who need it the most and people still throw shade at him while going "He's not like Zuck, I like Zuck's new vibe", like the dude is literally selling your info, stealing business ideas, defrauding partners and knowingly refusing to stop harming kids, specially little girls, and people still go "yeah, but did you see his new look?" WHAT THE F DOES ANYBODY CARE ABOUT VIBES AND LOOKS??
F THIS GUY!!!
I don't see any way these social media companies could completely eliminate abuse from their platforms.
Nobody is giving ANY specifics on how a platform with billions of people could moderate EVERY communication. You're acting as if there is some self-evident solution. I think it's literally impossible to get close to perfect moderation.
Why has nobody blamed AT&T, for example? Surely they have a higher quantity of abuse using their tools. I have yet to see a single company create a tool that somehow prevents its own abuse.
It's an absurdly high standard that can be used for selective outrage at certain CEOs on the basis of ideology. Since it's technically true of EVERY tool and platform that evil people misuse it, if politicians want to take a certain company down they can apply rules that they would never apply to other companies or platforms.
Dude, both of them are awful 😑. You just fell for the PR campaign of one of them.
Elon's rockets are really badass, I don't think anyone denies that nor his other massive successes. It's just the fact that he's a manchild who can't control his emotions and spews trash on his social media that basically confirm he's a total nutcase when it comes to subscribing to cultish and brainrot ideologies. He's like me when I was 16 sh*tposting online, except he's in his 50s and has so much power and influence that his sh*tposts actually matter.
I love what zucc is doing for AI and VR. Musk is a Putin supporter.
I can build eingine for ambiental reserve whit my meta glasses
where are the timestamps?!
add chapters to your videos please
When your kid says they want to be x y or z when they grow up, you have to be truthful, or they will despise you when it doesn't work out.
😎i have a meta glasses
Really had to push through the entire thing. The vibe is so off.
starts at 5:30
Thry should ask how much his watch cost
Time stamps
Dark Mode version of Zuck 🏆🔥
underwhelming to say the least… also, how can a guy with his history just say he’s done apologizing and people just applaud that?
As someone else in here said, lazy thinkers. This is why Kamala seems normal to so many.
cause now he's a bad guy
who is the clown on the right? Doing detours and calling meta facebook. He's little bit behind the times lol
I think businesses in the past were scared to change what worked in the short term now these companies will change on a dime and implentment whatever mostly because they already have the platform but still.equals unreal success
Wow mark is the new orange man
No
I see now lol. Not answering questions.
Needs to be said that just because you've got a top podcast doesn't mean 1) you can do it live and 2) you're a good interviewer. To me, these guys are decent researchers at best. Even though the show is not for me, they've clearly had some success in digital. Stay there. So many big social personalities can't do it in IRL. It's a totally different ball game to do this show in a live setting. We don't need it. It must have been a nice payday, though :)
god i am so excited for meta connect
This to painful to watch. Both interviewers have no sense for WHEN to ask something and interupt with stupid remarks.
Sometimes you guys have a tendency to place too much emphasis on some small irrelevant fact in a companies history
Love what yall do tho . Not tryna hate
In 2025, kids, this is what evil looks like.
This was profoundly insane. Just Awesome. Very Inspiring! Great content. I love it.
Mark Zuckerberg is a CROCK!! Nothing from the sweet warm hearted fellow.
Is it just me and my Headphones or is David's mic crackling?
Legends
Is this episode worth listening to, or just a bunch of typical softball questions?
100% sir kelj irk.
13:15 🤔
Its fell awkward
it was not as awkward as I always assumed a sirk eljir k would be. 😂
yeeeeeeeeeeeeeet letsssss goooooooo!!!
Hey interviewer dude, you should be ashamed of yourself for ever giving Daniel Ek any kind of interview, and I'm turning this video off now, and making sure you don't get any more ad revenue because you gave Daniel Ek a platform by interviewing him, and you appear to be openly promoting that waste of oxygen. Enjoy losing money.
Mark been lifting huh
just as desperate to fit in as he ever was.
Stick to storytelling. Very clumsy interview.
Love Zuck 2.0!
Amazing! Thank you guys
He's crazy about Rome.
