Mark Zuckerberg

Awesome, Mark.

yeah i don't know it's a good question i don't know the problem is there was no ceo of google plus it was just like a division within a company i think it's like and you asked before about what are the kind of scarcest commodities but you asked about it in terms of dollars and i actually think for most companies it's um it's of this scale at least it's focus right it's like when you're a startup maybe you're more constrained on capital

You know, you just are working on one idea and you might not have all the resources.

I think you cross some threshold at some point where the nature of what you're doing, you're building multiple things and you're creating more value across them, but you become more constrained on what can you direct and to go well.

And like there's always the cases where something just random awesome happens in the organization.

I don't even know about it.

And those are, that's great.

But like, but I think in general,

organization's capacity is largely limited by what like the ceo and the and the management team are able to kind of oversee and and kind of manage it's i think that that's just been a a big focus for us it's like all right keep the as i guess ben horowitz says keep the main thing the main thing right and and

try to kind of stay focused on your key priorities.

Yeah, I was commenting to the team before that I feel like we've choked each other from further distances than it feels like we are right now.

Yeah, so I mean, for background, we both did these scans for this research project that we have at Meta called Kodak Avatars.

And the idea is that instead of our avatars being cartoony, and instead of actually transmitting a video, what it does is we've sort of scanned ourselves in a lot of different expressions.

And we've built a computer model of sort of each of our faces and bodies and the different expressions that we make and collapse that into a Kodak that then when you have the headset on your head, it can...

It sees your face, it sees your expression, and it can basically send an encoded version of what you're supposed to look like over the wire.

So in addition to being photorealistic, it's also actually much more bandwidth efficient than transmitting a full video or especially a 3D immersive video of a whole scene like this.

Yeah, eyes are a huge part of it.

Yeah, I mean, there's all the studies that most of communication, even when people are speaking, is not actually the words that they're saying.

It's kind of the expression and all that.

And we try to capture that with the kind of classical...
