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.
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
There really should be consequences for top leadership when even 1% of the company has to go.
I’m a businessperson. When you lay off a bunch of people it’s not because you suddenly discovered smarter ways to work in your industry.
95% of the time, It’s because you planned poorly.
5% of the time, events that could not have been planned for derail things.
If the workers have to suffer consequences for the organization to survive, fine. Take out the leadership who sent the company down the tubes with their orders in the first place.

remember 6 years ago when everyone was saying ‘learn to code’?
now what?
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.
Go to a trade school
Did anyone even think about this once while not reading news stories about it?
ahh the schadenfreude… 😈
Slop ai header image to talk about the slop company. Ai use is so embarrassing

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.

but unfortunately mark has complete control and his board has no power
100% agreed
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
Where did the money go? Programmer salaries?
Yes. And lawyers. And hardware manufacturing. And energy to run servers.
That’s a very good question. How do you spend $80billion?
Zuckerberg makes Brewster look like an amateur.
Those are still rookie numbers. Pete Hegseth just spent more than that on ribeye steaks and lobster tails.
Well… Except he didn’t did he. Defence department spending has a bunch of black holes to funnel money into.
Tax write offs. There’s no way they spent 80 billion, but they’ll claim 80 billion in tax deductions for the “loss”

Wankers. Shut the whole company down
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 is.
I think that would end all poverty in the entire world
Are they going to rebrand to Slop now to follow the latest trend?
No surprise
And now they’re not shutting it down after all. :D
bummer
lol wtf
