Remember when everyone made fun of Second Life? Now the people who made it don’t need to feel embarrassed anymore because at least they weren’t involved in Metaverse. If you were involved with both, there’s no salvation left.
motherfuckers could probably have ended hunger in their country for that kind of money.
that’s how much of a piece of shit this pedophile nazi is.
I think that would end all poverty in the entire world
Hilarious that this company is now named after a failed product. It would be like if Ford changed it’s name to Pinto.
Haha. I will remember that.
lol wtf
bummer
They could have cured homelessness 4x over. But instead we got crappy little Zuck-like avatars and an ecosystem nobody ever asked for or wanted.
Fuck this world man.
The world is okay, it’s billionaires and stupidity that’s the problem
Yes, but have you considered that you can simply buy a house on the Metaverse?
Can’t believe they really rebranded around this shit when we all knew it was a nonsense non-concept five years ago, lmao
This should be taught in MBA and finance classes for how Bros get caught up in a hype cycle and how it’s all bullshit
they don’t learn either cause they dove head first into AI right after.
well we need to remember they changed their name to meta after zucc went to the senate due to the Cambridge Analytica scandal
I think it’s hilarious that the entire press and Meta are both like “ope, people don’t want to hang out in VR”.
furries continue to hang out in VR chat
I think its hilarious they are called meta. they will never be able to get away from their shame.
They lose $80B and are still in business? That’s insane.
Gotta pad that balance sheet with losses. Can’t be paying taxes if you can write off speculative ventures that just might
pay offfund other misadventures.Not only that, their company is worth over $500B more than it was when they rebranded as Meta. They were valued around $1T at the time and around $1.5T today. So they have completely failed to accomplish anything of value or substance, anything that improves life for anybody, or anything at all related to their entire metaverse concept in that time, and yet the market has deemed that they should continue to skyrocket in value.
Which is why they do it. Stock markets don’t like idle money. For all they wasted here they made it back anyway. They’ll do it again with some other bullshit too.
Also, there are still people dying of hunger.
Iirc zuck bankrolled most of it himself
Not only was the entire project thing a completely repulsive, uncanny mess, but also they could’ve just bought roblox for half that amount which is effectively the closest thing to a “metaverse” but ig zuck ego wouldn’t allow that
It doesn’t matter now. All those idiots who wrote books about how good the mataverse was, how it was going to change our lives, how we will be able to talk to costumer support in a virtual office from our house… all those people who wrote about it did the leap to talk about AI and now are writing about how good AI is… goshhhh
can’t wait for current AI hype bubble to burst. Not neccesarily have AI stop being relevant, just have it stop being forced into everything.
For everyone who never tried it, they had honest to god paid employees in Horizon Worlds to help players get oriented. I cannot imagine a worse job.
The one I ran into was standing in front of some “game” experience that was like…jumping on tiles or some shit.
The Metaverse cycle:
10 Some article remind me it exist;
20 I shrug and continue not to care about the Metaverse;
30 I forget about the existance of the Metaverse;
40 Some amount of time passes;
50 GOTO 10.
Slop ai header image to talk about the slop company. Ai use is so embarrassing
remember 6 years ago when everyone was saying ‘learn to code’?
now what?
Go to a trade school
Back to physical hardware, installation, troubleshooting. Been doing that as my focus for years. I’m so busy I turn down work.
yeah looks like this is the way now, people are not buying new hardware
They are. Just at the Enterprise and business level.
Buying real estate in the Metaverse used to be compared to buying land on the moon. But Zuck can’t turn off the moon, so it’s arguably a better investment.
