For the past few years Meta CEO and Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg has been the butt of the joke that he is a robot. “Zuckerborg”,as he has been referred to because of his communications skills that can sometimes come off as rehearsed or impersonal. And don’t get me started on the influx of memes after he got grilled by Congress back in 2018. His blank, emotionless face harkens the character Data from “Star Trek”. And to top it all off, Alex Moffat of “Saturday Night Live” has portrayed Zuckerberg as so every time he plays the character.
Well to keep the joke going, Lex Freidman had the Meta CEO on his podcast and before he began the interview, Friedman hands Zuckerberg a sheet of paper and asks him to, “Circle the street lights”. That’s right, he made Mark Zuckerberg perform a CAPTCHA puzzle IRL. CAPTCHAs are security checkpoints that make sure people are truly people and not robots. To Freidman’s surprise, Zuckerberg completes the task impressively.
