A thread of reposted Alexandr Wang (Scale AI founder, Meta AI chief) quotes:
- On growth: he credits constant overdoing and focus — the extra 10 miles are where the gap over everyone else opens.
- On enterprise perception: better products can still lose because big buyers rarely confront reality; Palantir famously handed hires an acting book. His take: perception is more real than reality.
