Didn't he spend more on that trying to make legs work in his stupid fucking metaverse?

blindgoblin.bsky.social•18 days ago

Right?
At best they're gonna end up with something looking like a 90s tech demo.

Lol at the metaverse images.

If it's possible (it's probably not) it's going to cost a lot more than $15 billion given what we have so far

We'll have to access their AI in the metaverse wearing their goofy ass goggles.

That’s a lot of money to spend on third world citizens to fake automation

Ooooh! Moar lucre burned on Temu Second Life! Looking for legs this time.

The way both Google and Meta continue doubling down on AI while it actively makes the only products that make them money actively worse is absolutely amazing.

A few years ago, if you asked me if Meta and Google will go the way of MySpace and Yahoo, I'd say no. Now we might get to see that.

If I'd spent the last decade losing $39 billion on one of the dumbest ideas in human history, with only an N64 graphics chat room to show for it, I'd stop gambling for a while.

AGI needs legs after all.

itty53.bsky.social•18 days ago

Given the amount of money they kick around normally, the subtext here is "we don't think it has legs at all but we also don't want to be seen as flat-footed to investors".

They spent over twice that amount in their VR "Reality Labs" division.

This is literally peanuts for them.

Meta sacrificing the little reputation they have to make sure AGI doesn't happen

kevin.crime.group•18 days ago

i dunno an AI trained on all the boomer shit on facebook should be close to AGI.

lol

Hell of a business model to create cyberGod

loki1001.bsky.social•18 days ago

The guy who spent $46 billion and changed the name of his company in order to get in on the Metaverse obviously must know something we don't...

Yes - the crushing disappointment of pissing $46billion up against the wall
