Mark Zuckerberg's $300 Million Superyacht visuals slammed as 'climate hypocrite's hideaway'

Mark zuckerberg's superyach sparks controversy over climate hypocrisy as internet mocks his ownership of luxury vessel despite environmental advocacy..

Mark Zuckerberg's latest status update screams real-world billionaire choice: a $300 million superyacht. With an estimated net worth of US$180 billion per Forbes, one of the world's richest men and founder of Meta dropped a whopping sum on a superyacht he calls Launchpad. While the yacht itself looks like something out of a James Bond movie, complete with stunning features and cutting-edge tech, the internet isn't oohing and aahing. Instead, critics are slamming it as a “Climate Hypocrite's Hideaway.”

Mark Zuckerberg’s superyacht visuals go viral

Mark Zuckerberg's new yacht has become a social media sensation thanks to a viral TikTok video capturing its stunning visuals. The massive vessel, currently docked in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, isn't shy about its luxury. Spanning 118 meters, the yacht made its debut sail back in March 2024 across the Atlantic and has been turning heads ever since. Designed by the Swedish-based Espen Øin International, the reported $300 Million Superyacht boasts “a sleek, multilayered exterior with a robust steel hull and an aluminium superstructure.” Reports Suerpeyacht Times.

With a gross tonnage of 5,000 gross tons, the yacht can cruise at speeds of up to 24 knots, providing an epic cruising experience for the billionaire owner. It currently holds the 45th position as being one of the world’s largest yachts. The beast also has a helipad designed in case the Meta owner changes his mind and wants to catch a sudden flight. With this Mark Zuckerberg joins a group of tech billionaires who also own superyachts, including Jeff Bezos, Larry Ellison and the Google cofounders, Sergey Brin and Larry Page.

Zuckerberg’s superyacht criticised for carbon emission

Mark Zuckerberg's stunning new yacht has the internet buzzing, but the awe is laced with mocks and confusion. Poking sarcastic fun at the Meta founder, a vocal advocate for fighting climate change, the internet questions why he owns a private jet that reportedly burned over $158,000 in fuel within two months. Now, this superyacht is being criticised as one of the most polluting activities an individual can engage in.

For example, Roman Abramovich's yachts supposedly pump out over 22,000 tons of carbon a year, exceeding the emissions of some small countries reports the NY Times. Jeff Bezos' $500 million yacht, Koru, is another most polluting Billionaire toy contributing 7,000 tons annually. Zuckerberg's superyacht's environmental toll remains to be seen, but the juxtaposition with his climate activism has sparked a fierce online debate.

“Hey look it’s Mark Zuckerberg‘s yacht. I’m sure him flying private jets with Bill Gates is helping to plan it though. It’s all our fault instead.” Wrote an X user. “Mark Zuckerberg's giant yacht. But they tell you that driving a gasoline car is ruining the planet…,” wrote another.” “Is Zuckerberg's Yacht a Luxurious Paradise or a Climate Hypocrite's Hideaway,” said one more.

SYT 3D: Game-changing virtual yacht world launched by SuperYacht Times

SuperYacht Times 3D (SYT 3D), the first-ever virtual superyacht world, launches today. SYT 3D is aimed at yachting enthusiasts who are interested in buying, designing or building a yacht, but also for those who admire the world of superyachts.

SYT Founder & Director Merijn de Waard says, “ we created SYT 3D for a few reasons. Clients willingness to buy yachts after only having seen them digitally has seen a big jump in the past year and we very much believe that VR will become a major tool in the (near) future. With better online tools and more awareness for their carbon footprint, people will travel less – especially if we can provide an even better online experience. Last but not least, we need to open up yachting to a broader audience and with our game-like virtual yachting world we have the opportunity to do so. ”

The launch is being supported by superyacht builders, Lürssen, Feadship, Turquoise Yachts, Delta Marine, Gulf Craft, Lynx Yachts and Sirena Yachts. Furthermore, superyacht designers Bannenberg & Rowell, Diana Yacht Design and Marco Casali have also joined this industry's first virtual world.

SYT 3D offers the visitor a completely new visually-driven dimension and puts the visitor in control of their own journey through the virtual yachting world. It makes yachting easily accessible to anyone from anywhere in the world.

The options for SYT 3D are endless, but in our first release you can already enjoy some very cool features:

Tender Tour

Explore the virtual superyacht fleet as you drive the tender yourself and discover all the different yachts and design projects in SYT 3D from a unique perspective.

Private Islands

Discover the private islands of some of the world’s most renowned superyacht builders and discover what sets them apart.

Floating Marinas

Visit the floating marinas of some of the best superyacht designers and builders and see which yachts they have docked in their marina.

Compare & Discover Yachts

SYT 3D is the first-ever yachting tool whereby you can compare yachts and design projects at exact scale. Thanks to 3D technology, visitors can also view the exterior of a yacht from all angles, with complete control of the camera.

SYT Founder & Director Merijn de Waard, says “ SYT 3D will give those interested in yachting a completely new experience. However, it does not replace actual events or other digital tools but rather complements them. Exciting content such as photos, videos and virtual tours can be seamlessly integrated into SYT 3D. Additionally, it is a great tool for events too. That’s because we can model all yachts in attendance in 3D and clients will have the opportunity to compare and discover yachts ahead of visiting the actual event. ”

This is just the beginning of SYT 3D and some of the features on the roadmap include a world for yacht shows, several options for yachting games, as well as educational content. One example might be showing how a stabiliser or a virtual engine room works.

Built on gaming technology, SYT 3D is now only available on desktop browsers and works best in Firefox or Google Chrome. Soon it will be joined by a desktop application and a mobile application is also on the roadmap.

A thousand times smaller than a grain of sand—glass sensors 3D-printed on optical fiber

I n a first for communications, researchers in Sweden 3D printed silica glass micro-optics on the tips of optic fibers—surfaces as small as the cross section of a human hair. The advance could enable faster internet and improved connectivity, as well as innovations like smaller sensors and imaging systems.

Reporting in the journal ACS Nano , researchers at KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm say integrating silica glass optical devices with optical fibers enables multiple innovations, including more sensitive remote sensors for environment and health care.

The printing techniques they report also could prove valuable in production of pharmaceuticals and chemicals.

KTH Professor Kristinn Gylfason says the method overcomes longstanding limitations in structuring optical fiber tips with silica glass, which he says often require high-temperature treatments that compromise the integrity of temperature-sensitive fiber coatings.

In contrast to other methods, the process begins with a base material that doesn't contain carbon. That means high temperatures are not needed to drive out carbon in order to make the glass structure transparent.

The study's lead author, Lee-Lun Lai, says the researchers printed a silica glass sensor that proved more resilient than a standard plastic-based sensor after multiple measurements.

"We demonstrated a glass refractive index sensor integrated onto the fiber tip that allowed us to measure the concentration of organic solvents. This measurement is challenging for polymer-based sensors due to the corrosiveness of the solvents," Lai says.

"These structures are so small you could fit 1,000 of them on the surface of a grain of sand, which is about the size of sensors being used today," says the study's co-author, Po-Han Huang.

The researchers also demonstrated a technique for printing nanogratings, ultra-small patterns etched onto surfaces at the nanometer scale. These are used to manipulate light in precise ways and have potential applications in quantum communication.

Gylfason says the ability to 3D print arbitrary glass structures directly on fiber tip opens new frontiers in photonics. "By bridging the gap between 3D printing and photonics, the implications of this research are far-reaching, with potential applications in microfluidic devices, MEMS accelerometers and fiber-integrated quantum emitters," he says.

‘How to Have Sex,’ ‘Miller’s Girl’ and More Streaming Gems

Provocative debuts from two exciting new female filmmakers lead off this month’s roundup of recommendations from your subscription streaming services.

• Share full article

By Jason Bailey

‘How to Have Sex’ (2024)

Stream it on Mubi.

The title is provocative, but this is no how-to manual; instead, the writer and director Molly Manning Walker tells a contemporary coming-of-age story that will reverberate with viewers of all ages and sexes. Her focus is on Tara (Mia McKenna-Bruce), a 16-year-old British girl on a post-exams holiday in Crete with her friends. They plan to party, drink and hook up, and the latter is of particular import to Tara, who is keen to lose her virginity — less out of desire or romanticism than to simply get it over with. Manning is a cinematographer making her feature directing debut, and she deftly uses compositions, color and sound to convey Tara’s isolation, desperation and disappointment. She gets a big assist from McKenna-Bruce, a charismatic and empathetic lead who can whisper, in a throwaway line or discreet gesture, everything you need to know about this young woman’s past and present.

‘Miller’s Girl’ (2024)

Stream it on Netflix .

The first-time writer and director Jade Halley Bartlett makes occasional rookie errors in this psychosexual drama. But she has a knack with actors, particularly Jenna Ortega, who plays the lead role of a brainy teen seductress with wit and verve. Bartlett photographs Ortega like a movie star, and she comes off like one; she has a particular way of chewing on a line of loaded dialogue, and she and Martin Freeman (as the creative writing professor whose professional interest becomes personal) create a specific, uneasy but undeniable chemistry that smooths over the script’s rougher stretches. The third-act turn into a 21st century “Oleanna” is effective, with Bartlett inventively intermingling her levels of fiction and cleanly visualizing the inevitable he said/she said conflicts. The moment when Ortega decisively takes the upper hand is screen acting of the highest order.

‘Men’ (2022)

Stream it on Max .

Alex Garland’s latest, “Civil War,” has struck up a fair amount of conversation for its provocative ideas. This is his bread and butter; he delights in using the conventions of genre filmmaking to reflect on the complexities and difficulties of the human condition. His previous film falls along the same lines, taking up the forever-topical subject of the power dynamic between men and women. Jessie Buckley (excellent as ever) stars as a young woman whose peaceful getaway at a country cottage turns into an unsettling exploration of misogyny; Rory Kinnear co-stars, in a clever bit of casting, as every man she encounters. It’s a rather unsubtle method of underscoring the ever-present threat of gendered violence, but these are not subtle themes — or times.

‘A Most Wanted Man’ (2014)

Stream it on Amazon Prime Video .

In one of his final performances, great Philip Seymour Hoffman is Günther Bachmann, the German intelligence officer at the center of this modest but affecting adaptation of John le Carré’s post-9/11 novel. The director Anton Corbijn, his visual style sharpened by years as an in-demand photographer, finds the right look and feel for this story of weary bureaucrats trying (and often failing) to navigate a shifting geopolitical landscape. The supporting cast (which includes Willem Dafoe, Rachel McAdams and Robin Wright) is first rate, but this is Hoffman’s aria, and he performs it with the grace and nuance that made him such a special actor.

‘Mr. Turner’ (2014)

Stream it on Hulu .

The biographical drama of the tortured artistic genius has become one of the most tiresome touchstones of contemporary cinema, but Mike Leigh does not make check-the-box movies, and this dramatization of the life of the British painter J.M.W. Turner eschews the shopworn biopic tropes. Instead, Leigh sees Turner as a pragmatic painter, blunt in his personal interactions but inspired in his work, and Leigh’s regular collaborator Timothy Spall plays his complexities and contradictions adroitly, while the cinematographer Dick Pope gives his process a breathtaking pulse.

‘The Dead Don’t Die’ (2019)

‘the dead don’t die’ | anatomy of a scene, jim jarmusch narrates a scene from his zombie comedy featuring bill murray, adam driver, chloë sevigny and carol kane..

This is Jim Jarmusch. I’m the writer and director of “The Dead Don’t Die.” This is a scene that takes place in the Centerville police station. It’s a three-cop town, Centerville. Bill Murray, the chief. Adam Driver and Chloë Sevigny play the other two officers. There are two parts to this scene. The first is Officer Peterson — Adam Driver — explaining to Chloë Sevigny’s character that there is, in fact, a zombie apocalypse. “It’s zombies.” “What are you saying?” “Well, it’s the undead. They’ve been reanimated, caused by the Earth having been pulled off its axis, caused by the polar fracking.” And the second part of the scene is dealing with one of the undead who comes to life, played by Carol Kane. Her name is Mallory O’Brien and was known as the town drunk. - [screams] These undead in our film have a kind of vestigial memory for one thing that they were sort of obsessed with when they were alive. And in this case, being the town drunk, her obsession was chardonnay. “Look out, kids.” I’m not a big splatter film guy, so all the zombies in our film are dried up and dust inside. “Chardonnay.” “I got this, Cliff.” The visual effect is quite stunning and was done by a wonderful company, Chimney. It was quite daunting. We had to have a stand-in for Carol Kane for the actual swinging of the machete. The machete itself was only a very short blade so that it actually didn’t touch the stunt person. “Chardonnay.” - [screams] [gunshot] Bill Murray’s last shot to the severed head was improvised. In each of the other takes, he didn’t do that. But I found that very funny. Chloë Sevigny, as an actor, she is a real master of small reactions. And she is our kind of scream queen in the film because she screams maybe six times throughout the entire film.

The eternally hip writer-director Jim Jarmusch summons up a cast of his go-to actors (including Steve Buscemi, Adam Driver, Bill Murray and Tilda Swinton) for this delightfully unpredictable zombie apocalypse comedy. Driver, Murray and Chloë Sevigny are police officers in the small town of Centerville, a tiny world turned upside down by the rise of the undead, and what begins as a fairly standard “Night of the Living Dead” riff becomes a pointed commentary on Trump’s America — and then a clever meta-textual riff on filmmaking itself.

‘The Witness’ (2016)

Stream it on Amazon Prime Video and on Peacock .

After her violent 1964 death, the name Kitty Genovese became a kind of shorthand for urban indifference, after the Times reported that her stabbing had been witnessed by 38 neighbors who failed to act. In later years, The Times reconsidered its account ; this powerful documentary also attempts to set the record straight, following Ms. Genovese’s younger brother Bill as he attempts to not only clarify the circumstances of her death, but highlight the joy and bravery of her life. Kitty Genovese was a person, not a symbol, and the director James Solomon admirably and poignantly corrects that error.

‘Riotsville, USA’ (2022)

As news outlets have recently reported on police clashing with protesters on college campuses, some necessary historical context is available via this documentary account of how our government addressed similar civil unrest in the late 1960s. The title comes from a government training facility, a fake town built for urban riot training exercises, and the director Sierra Pettengill uncovers shocking (and occasionally amusing) archival footage of those exercises and contemporaneous images of police and soldiers violently stifling peaceful protesters. This is a fierce, angry film — the kind of documentary where historical overview blurs uncomfortably into contemporary commentary.
