No not really - it's quite a good interview. Here's the masculine energy bit if you want to judge for yourself. You only have to watch a couple of minutes to get an idea [this video] To me "ranting" is not true. He calmly says he was brought up with girls and it's quite nice go get out and do martial arts for a change. To me that's normal and getting upset about 'men' not getting free tampons is kinda weird.
Zuckerberg interview with calm discussion of masculine energy
I don't have a horse in this race, but to be fair, Mark goes into great detail about all this on the Joe Rogan podcast [0]. I think a reasonable person would also listen to what he says about his own motivations. If you have already listened and have an opinion, then please ignore this suggestion! [0] [this video]
> a week later stating that the LLMs that his researchers / engineers are working on will soon be able to replace them. This is a pessimistic interpretation of Mark's words that has been trumpeted in the media. Which I am appalled to admit. He said that they anticipate the majority of new code to come from AI models rather than human engineers. He then adds that they expect developers to be augmented by these tools. Which tracks as you still need somebody to drive the AI and validate or correct their outputs. [this video]
Zuckerberg on AI writing most new code, with human augmentation
In regards to Apple hostility. There's obviously the whole app store shenanigans where devs often feel that they have arbitrary rules. DHH has talked about it as has Tim Sweeney. I listened to Mark Zuck on Rogan about his experience with Apple connecting his Ray Bands to the AirPods. [0] In that interview, he suggests they won't help with the integration (for stupid reasons) and that he expects that'll come out with a competing product. I think being a dev and working with the Apple eco (outside of 'normal') is a pita. Yes it's subjective. I'm hesitant to even purchase Apple's excellent hardware for this reason. [0]: [this video]
