It is important to note that Zuckerberg did not claim any original contributions, nor does he name any of the non-Facebook libraries used, denying the acknowledgement of others' work which he relied upon. For all we know, he used some off-the-shelf libraries for face recognition, language processing, and speech recognition, while having little to no understanding of how they actually work. This is what a lamer does, not a hacker.

There is a huge gap in public perception of the competence of the elite in the tech industry. People will get the wrong impression that Zuckerberg is an expert on any of these topics. It reminds me of the antagonist of Ex Machina who is portrayed as CEO of a giant software company, AI expert, and robotics engineer, all in one person.
