7. "Zuckerberg has been spending five to ten hours a week coding"

I find that hard to believe. I didn't think he was still coding or was very good at it when he was. That aside, it takes an especially clueless person to think employees interacting with an AI version of him will feel more connected to him. People like Zuckerberg don't realize all the effort to make these bots seem more human, or, short of that, more Zuckerberg, is actually a form of fraud. It's like when the demon in The Exorcist made Regan sound like Fr. Karras' dead mother. People don't like to be scammed like this. It's creepy.
