But it really needed a face and it needed a salesman.
And he did both things very well.
And you look at when ChatGPT launched and he was the face of AI suddenly, look at how much has changed in the world just in the last three
years.
Look at how much real world investment, construction projects, everything else that is happening all around the world.
And that really comes from that Chad GPT moment and Altman selling it.
And so I think there is some suspicion around him, particularly in regards to converting OpenAI from a nonprofit to a for-profit company.
And so I think that there is still room that he could be remembered negatively, but right now I'd say it leans positive.
I think it can be both.
Look, Zuck is headed for the Hall of Fame for sure.
I know he's the butt of a lot of jokes out there.
I'm not saying that he is a perfect CEO, but really, he made social media what it is.
He cracked the code with digital advertising and has done so exceedingly well that he has burned money and a lot of other things that have not paid off as social media did.
Just think about what he's been able to do with Instagram and WhatsApp and Facebook.
Can you imagine a world where digital advertising was still 100% Google?
I mean, what he has delivered in value for many people who do advertise on all of these other social media platforms.
I mean, I can't imagine a world without that.
So yeah, Zuck is headed for the Hall of Fame.
John?
I think he said for the Hall of Fame as well, incredibly tough thing that he's doing right now.
