“our strategy is that if we can learn faster than other companies, we’ll win,” zuckerberg said last week during a taping of the “acquired” podcast. “we’ll build a better product than anyone else because we’ll be first or earlier to launch it, and you learn faster.”

zuckerberg attributed meta’s strong performance this year to the company’s focus on artificial intelligence. “by the end of this year, meta ai is on track to be the most used ai assistant in the world,” zuckerberg said in a july earnings report.
