Person: Mark Zuckerberg

Meta CEO Mark Zuckeberg sits down with Decoder guest host Alex Heath for a rare interview on the future of AI, his feud with Elon Musk, and all the Quest 3 news out of Meta Connect.

With an opening line like that, how could we not include this article from Bireme Capital. Bireme believe that investors are missing the strong story in social media because of all the noise about TikTok.

That is a quote from an analyst at investment bank Needham that covers the Facebook stock. And it’s a big call. Facebook, well now Meta, still operates some of the biggest online platforms in the world - Instagram alone is certainly a business to be admired. But the sentiment of the quote is shared amongst more and more of the investment community these days - can Meta figure it out?

When we think about the next generation of social media challenging Meta’s supremacy, we often think about TikTok and Snapchat (Snapchat isn’t so much new as just incredibly popular with Gen Z). But there are other social platforms out there giving Facebook and Instagram a run for their money. One of these apps is BeReal.

Two days before Mark Zuckerberg announced the Facebook name change, he sat down with Ben Thompson of Stratechery. There has been a lot written about Facebook's name change but we thought this was particularly interesting to hear the inside view of the metaverse from Zuckerberg himself. This is a transcript of that interview.
