Remember, Tolkien didn't start working on "The Hobbit" until he was 41 years old. It started as tales for his children that took over 4 years to complete, and he finally published it at the age of 45.

The difference between Zuckerberg and Apple, of course, is that Apple has a solid record of creating products that people will actually pay for. Zuckerberg has yet to produce anything that a critical number of consumers give enough of a damn about to buy.
“‘Personal devices like glasses that understand our context because they can see what we see, hear what we hear, and interact with us throughout the day will become our primary computing devices,’ he wrote Wednesday in an online post detailing how Meta will bring AI to users.”
