I can't believe the guy that wasted 80B$ in the metaverse did that mistake... Such a surprising turn of events.

The Metaverse was a true supervillain plan that makes one wonder about his sanity.

He and the Google guys are some of the richest data brokers in the world, but he’s the only one who openly hates the people who made him his fortune and let’s them know by asking them to train their AI replacement. Real misanthropic and mean spirited management strategy.

Fuck Spez BTW.

But hey, they've only dumped $230 billion into AI so far. Surely things will start turning for them now?

I didn't put a dime into my headset after Meta took it over so I didn't pay much attention but I don't know of many innovations from that 80B. I'm sure there's people who really work in it which can name some tools or libraries or games they thought were great but I don't think anything broke into the mainstream? The main VR games that I know of are HL: Alyx, Beat Saber, and Superhot. I can't believe with 80B there hasn't been another die hard game or application that hasn't broke into the mainstream.
