Zuckerberg will make an appearance in this week’s episode of The Simpsons on US station Fox. His brief appearance will see him talking to Nelson Muntz and Lisa at an entrepreneurial show in Springfield where Zuckerberg will apparently explain to a horrified Lisa the benefits of dropping out of university.
This appearance follows Zuckerberg ‘s announcement of a $100 million (€72.25 million) grant to US schools last month (the film grossed over $23 million (€16.63 million) on its opening weekend in North America). Zuckerberg is said to be furious at his depiction in the film which, according to the BBC, he has described the film as “a fiction.” Fiction or not, this did not stop the company from renting out a Californian cinema last week for a private screening of the film for its staff.
The film will be released in Ireland on October 15th a day after Sky broadcasts the episode.

With technology advancing rapidly, have you ever stopped to think if our style of learning should be advancing with it? The term information overload is nothing new, but what are we doing to address it?
That’s where Ruban Phukan steps in. He’s an entrepreneur who sat down with Erick Espinosa for this episode of Brains Byte Back to discuss the issue of traditional learning in a world where time is a luxury. However, we’re still expected to learn about technological changes in our respective industries and apply it to our work at the same speed technology is advancing. Ruban says there is a better way, and it’s called GoodGist.
One-third of an employee's day is spent researching information online. It highlights that much of their time is dedicated to researching rather than applying, essentially eating away at productivity. This ignited Ruban's idea for GoodGist, an AI software that helps companies support, learn, and grow through a centralized platform that delivers specific learning modules to individuals based on their work requirements.
