The following is a conversation with Mark Zuckerberg, his second time on this podcast. He's the CEO of Meta that owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, all services used by billions of people to connect with each other. We talk about his vision for the future of Meta and the future of AI in our human world. And now a quick few second mention of each sponsor. Check them out in the description. It's the best way to support this podcast. We got Numeri for the world's hardest data science tournament, Shopify for e-commerce, and BetterHelp for mental health. Choose wisely, my friends. Also, if you want to work with our amazing team, we're always hiring. Go to lexfriedman.com slash hiring. And now onto the full ad reads.
As always, no ads in the middle. I find those annoying. But these here ads, I try to make interesting. Though you may skip them if you must, my friends. But please still check out the sponsors. They help this podcast out. I enjoy their stuff. Maybe you will too. This show is brought to you by Numerai, a hedge fund that uses AI and machine learning to make investment decisions. I'm a huge fan of real-world datasets and real-world machine learning competitions to figure out what works. This is not ImageNet. This is not an artificial toy dataset for the development of toy systems that illustrate toy concepts. Those are the early, early, early stages of research. But when you really want to see what works, you want benchmarks that have stakes, that have the highest of stakes, especially ones that have money involved.
So I'm a huge fan, money or not, of data sets that represent the real world and demonstrate that the system can operate in the real world at the highest of stakes. That's why I was really interested in autonomous vehicles when the stakes were our life and death. It's safety critical systems. Incredibly exciting to work on systems that are truly real world data sets. Anyway, if that kind of thing interests you, if you're a machine learning engineer, head over to numer.ai.lex to sign up for a tournament and hone your machine learning skills. That's numer.ai.lex for a chance to play against me and win share of the tournament prize pool. This show is also brought to you by Shopify, a platform designed for anyone to sell anywhere with a great looking online store that brings your ideas to life and tools to manage the day-to-day operations.
Operations is such a badass word. I feel like you're running things. Anyway, a few folks asked me about merch. I'm a huge fan of buying merch for the podcasts, shows, bands I love. And so I love the camaraderie of merch. And I think Shopify is a great place to sell merch. I'm definitely going to put out some merch. I'm really sorry it's been taking forever. I've been working with this incredible artist. I just love art. I love artistic representation of the funny, the profound, and the t-shirt that allows you to celebrate with others, something super cool. I love it. To me, there's nothing promotional about it, all that kind of stuff. It's just sharing your happiness. Anyway, so I'll definitely use Shopify to create a merch store so that people can share a bit of their happiness with others.
If you have stuff to sell or you have merch to sell or you want to share some of your happiness with others, sign up for a $1 per month trial period at shopify.com slash lex. That's all lowercase. Go to shopify.com slash lex to take your business to the next level. This episode is also brought to you by BetterHelp, spelled H-E-L-P, help. They figure out what you need and match you with a licensed professional therapist in under 48 hours. I do a podcast. Obviously, I'm a big fan of talk therapy. In fact, when I just listen to podcasts, it's a kind of talk therapy because I'm having a conversation with the people I'm listening to in my mind. Whenever it's an interview show and there's two folks talking, I'm always the third person in the room, kind of almost participating in the conversation.
And there's something therapeutic about that.
