If this goes the same way as when Zuck entered the race to replace the US dollar, create a metaverse or cure disease, Ai will be dead in the next 2 years.
My old office was in the same building as Chan-Zuckerberg HQ hq and all the scientists I worked with rolled their eyes at their completely over the top mission statement to "cure all disease within our lifetimes." Cure ALL disease? Really?? Maybe pick one and try hard to eradicate it. But *all* disease?! All of it? Geeze.
Also one of their top scientists exposed himself taking his junk out of his pants and tried to feel up my coworker at STEM restaurant in the middle of the restaurant during happy hour. So overall they seemed like poor decision making reckless arrogant clowns.
he is in a rare position to throw money in all of these fields without worrying about the ROI. so i will not throw too much criticism his way.
but yes the ai bubble is real, but sadly we don't get to short on it this time.
I don't think they're done with the metaverse thing either, whether it will succeed, that's another question.
I didn't know that. What parts are impressive? It seemed like VR Chat + Roblox to me, but I've barely seen anything.

Has Facebook as a business ever really pivoted from "social network advertising company?"
