Zuckerberg learned computer programming in his childhood. At about the age of eleven, he created “ZuckNet”, a program that allowed computers at the family home and his father’s dental office to communicate with each other.[11] During Zuckerberg’s high-school years, he worked to build a music player called the Synapse Media Player. The device used machine learning to learn the user’s listening habits, which was posted to Slashdot[12] and received a rating of 3 out of 5 from PC Magazine.[13] The New Yorker once said of Zuckerberg, “some kids played computer games. Mark created them.”[7] While still in high school, he attended Mercy College taking a graduate computer course on Thursday evenings.[7]
I’d say this is enough to call him brilliant.
Just because he’s an arrogant sociopath doesn’t mean he’s also a knuckle dragging idiot.
Why is this ‘either or’? He is a brilliant person and a sociopath. It’s not mutually exclusive.
He is not brilliant person. He would be fired many times over if he didn’t own majority shares.
For example that whole Horizon Worlds blunder.
Billions and billions into VR and AI and really nothing to show for it.
I’d say this is enough to call him brilliant.
Just because he’s an arrogant sociopath doesn’t mean he’s also a knuckle dragging idiot.
