I mean, the "world-changing" stuff they're investing in is what directly led to this layoff. The metaverse was the most heavily impacted by these layoffs.
Where are you hearing that?
I have no idea if Metaverse is a game you download and run or it's supposed to be some tokens you take from game to game. I just have no idea. I've seen the creepy/shitty Zuck avatars, so I assume there is some chat-game involved somewhere.
Notice there are no questions in this post. I don't care to learn. Just re-stating how poor the messaging of what it is they apparently want me to care about is.
It may not be realistic or desirable, but I don't get how someone couldn't possibly wrap their head around what it is.
What I'm poking fun at is that i haven't seen a single piece of news explaining Zuck's plan. Did he even have one?
If these smart people spend their brain energy to address these needs, which the world actually needs, they'll find success again, and the world will be changed in the way it needs to be... and frankly that's the way capitalism is supposed to work. Changing the world is only rewarded when people want it.
And I disagree that solving climate change etc. is a "need" for most people. I think we all pretty much accept that climate change is going to happen unless some major coups or revolutions take place, and there's nothing we can do about it. Seems like the plan for the individual is just to ride it out for our 80 years, or until there's some food shortage or water crisis that kills us.
