A Word from Mark Zuckerberg*. I was delighted to see Ben insert himself into the CEO chair at Meta on Tuesday and write a script for Mark Zuckerberg as he tells the story of Meta and its AI investments in 2026. That article traces past Meta mistakes as well as those of investors who doubted the company, all to frame current investments in AI and the massive opportunities that remain central to the Meta’s future. A combination of history, analysis of the future, and fun, it’s a perfect summer read. As for a summer listen, we doubled back on all of it, plus Meta’s Muse-Spark release, for this week’s episode of Sharp Tech. — Andrew Sharp
