Zuckerberg’s Long-Game Advice Becomes a Hard Lesson for Fidji Simo’s Health Battle

Fidji Simo revealed she has postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) and is transitioning from OpenAI’s CEO of Applications to a part-time advisory role. She recalls Mark Zuckerberg advising her to slow down and “play the long game,” a counsel she now wishes she had followed as her chronic illness affected her ability to sustain a demanding career. Simo emphasizes that taking care of oneself today can enable longer, more meaningful contributions tomorrow, and notes that POTS requires individualized management since there’s no universal cure.

Zuckerberg: Meta's AI progress slower than hoped amid restructuring

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said at an internal town hall that AI agent tech hasn’t progressed as quickly as hoped, and the sweeping restructuring that cut about 10% of the workforce and reassigned roughly 7,000 employees to AI-focused roles hasn’t yet borne the expected fruit; he cited optimism about tools like Anthropic’s Claude Code and said Meta could spend up to $145 billion on AI infrastructure this year, with meaningful benefits expected in 3–6 months.

Meta Bets on Human Habits Again with Arena Prediction Market

Meta Bets on Human Habits Again with Arena Prediction Market

Gizmodo reports Meta is developing Arena, a cross‑app prediction‑markets platform for Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp to bet on almost anything, viewed as a knockoff of Kalshi/Polymarket and a continuation of betting on people’s worst impulses for profit. The piece ties this to Meta’s history—from the Facemash era and a notorious quote about users’ “trust” to harnessing dopamine‑driven engagement and whistleblower claims about addictive design and mental health harm—arguing Arena would extend that business model into gambling, with concerns about addiction and vulnerability, including minors.

Tech Billionaires Align with Trump: A MAGA-Politics Confluence

The Daily Beast’s Jonathan Weber argues that Trump’s rise has pulled fringe tech figures—Thiel, Sacks, and Zuckerberg—into the corridors of power, turning their long-standing business and ideological ambitions into political influence. Thiel and Sacks have been early Trump allies, with Sacks serving as AI/Crypto adviser and Thiel a PayPal Mafia figure, while Zuckerberg has been labeled “MAGA Mark” as he shifts to align with Trump’s political clout. The piece frames this as a broader trend of tech oligarchs leveraging political power to benefit their influence and profits.

Trump Mocked Zuckerberg and Bezos for Groveling Texts, Book Claims

According to The New York Times reporters Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan in the book Regime Change, after the 2024 election Donald Trump mocked Mark Zuckerberg and Jeff Bezos for courting him, flaunting their fawning texts to guests. Zuckerberg reportedly sent a photo of a letter from his child praising a “golden age of America,” while Bezos disparaged The Washington Post during a Mar-a-Lago dinner and later pitched a Blue Origin/SpaceX contract angle that Trump did not pursue. The episodes show Silicon Valley’s scramble for favor and Trump’s gleeful ridicule, with Elon Musk reacting approvingly and other tech leaders also meeting with him.
