How Mark Zuckerberg, Palmer Luckey, Josh Kushner & Scott Wu Think | Jeremy Stern

Zuckerberg's two-decade infrastructure and distribution buildout, not AI model quality alone, is what insiders say makes betting against Meta in AI unwise.

• Zuckerberg as Augustus: Stern says Zuckerberg has revered Augustus since age 15-17, still recites Virgil's Aeneid, and named his personal AI agent 'Agrippa' after Augustus's key lieutenant.
• Underestimated ruthlessness, overestimated meanness: Sources told Stern people underrate Zuckerberg's competitiveness and wrongly assume he's an 'asshole'; a former AI researcher called him 'the fucking Terminator.'
