    The man who built the future in the past, and the man who is building the future in the present, sat together speaking about the future seven years ago... amazing!
  • @Bizarado
    The fact that 6 years ago he was already thinking of virtual reality and turning Facebook into the meta verse shows how far ahead he’s planning. Imagine what he has planned today for 10 years from now
  • @Noize
    killer posture dude...
  • @artursouto8525
    "In a world that's changing so quickly, the biggest risk you can take is not taking any risk." Wow...
  • @gabetheape3721
    Why do his eyes look so cloudy? Is his software breaking?
  • @88Marlo
    Maybe they should sit like normal people next time.
  • @larslover6559
    "Dont actually commit to open a company until its actually working" Grear advise! Instead of making fun and conspiracy theories maybe we should actually humbly listen and learn?
  • Mark Zuckerberg was the captain of the Men's Fencing Team at my high school (Ardsley New York)!
  • @cormierog7600
    Jesus Christ they both look extremely uncomfortable, forcing posture

    In a world changing so fast, the biggest risk you can take is not taking any risk
  • @old22k9
    2 awkward people having a conversation Sounds like fun
  • @yyy9221
    I don’t think he’s awkward, he just doesn’t have the fake social switch that makes you copy other peoples way of talking dressing expression. He’s himself because he doesn’t care.
  • If Sam Altman only knew at the time of this interview that several years later his product, ChatGPT, was gonna spark off an AI revolution and arms race that would change the world forever.
  • It's funny(!) that after few years Sam is the one who gonna make this kind of interview as the lead of one of the greatest tool's company.
  • @DewAlam
    What was with that awkward ending, - the do-I-go-for-a-handshake-or-hug look from the interviewer 😂
