True, but there is something to be said about making it to his level.

He isnt stupid. Stupid people don't make it this far. They don't. Don't let the media designed for The Commons tell you otherwise. There are too many filters from rational intelligence, social intelligence, willpower, book smarts, delegation/management/leadership, etc... If you fail at one of these, you don't ~10,000x your company's value.

John Mearsheimer said "They made the wrong decision, not an irrational one." And I think that goes for the Metaverse. VR was/is incredible. I personally would find it difficult to bet real money on that question.

He sees something that is reasonable to say. Will mid-level engineers be replaced by AI? If there is a 2x efficiency improvement, what will half those programmers be doing? Will 100% of their midlevel engineers be replaced? No, but I don't think a smart person would make that claim. Do You personally think 0 people will lose their jobs because they arent needed anymore?
