This week we passed a pretty major milestone: for the first time ever, one billion people visited Facebook in a single day. Dustin always used to say that this day would come, and that it would happen sooner than anyone thought. I will confess that I thought he was crazy at the time, or at least that his imagination was bigger than mine.

I am proud that Facebook today has the same belief that it did almost ten years ago when I joined: technology should be about bringing the world closer together. Though the work’s changed quite a bit — what used to be helping Michigan State students plan parties is now about delivering a proper experience on 2G, a legit Burmese translation, crazy streaming video infrastructure, autonomous drones to beam down internet, virtual reality -- they are all connected by the same wonderful idea.

It’s been a wild ride to get here and I couldn’t be more excited about connecting the next billion. Thank you to Mark, to our community, and to everyone over the years who’s helped to scale Facebook into what it is today.

An organization backed by Silicon Valley billionaires and tied to leading artificial intelligence firms is funding the salaries of more than a dozen AI fellows in key congressional offices, across federal agencies and at influential think tanks.

The fellows funded by Open Philanthropy, which is financed primarily by billionaire Facebook co-founder and Asana CEO Dustin Moskovitz and his wife Cari Tuna, are already involved in negotiations that will shape Capitol Hill’s accelerating plans to regulate AI. And they’re closely tied to a powerful influence network that’s pushing Washington to focus on the technology’s long-term risks — a focus critics fear will divert Congress from more immediate rules that would tie the hands of tech firms.

I'm not really sure where it comes from, but every time I meet someone who says 'I really want to be an entrepreneur' but has no idea what they want to do, I really just think: 'This person is totally aimless.'

It is easier to love humanity as a whole than to love one's neighbor.

There's an idealization of being an entrepreneur, but the most important thing is to have a really great idea.

Let us sacrifice our today so that our children can have a better tomorrow.

Facebook was a very big mission; it really knocked it out of the universe. It's pretty hard to focus on a small idea after that. You really have to be working on something that you believe will be of similar impact. Dustin Moskovitz

Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood. Now is the time to understand more, so that we may fear less.

When we founded Facebook, we put a lot of hours into it and worked hard every day. 'The Social Network' painted this picture that we were partying all the time, when really we only attended 2 or 3 parties during Facebook's first year.

“Mindfulness has helped me succeed in almost every dimension of my life. By stopping regularly to look inward and become aware of my mental state, I stay connected to the source of my actions and thoughts and can guide them with considerably more intention.”
