It appears Meta's Horizon Worlds may literally and figuratively not have legs after all.

Meta (the company hilariously rebranded with this non-sense as their foundation) has moved on to the next grift: AI and mobile video surveillance devices.

[–] Kirk@startrek.website 17 points 3 days ago

I love that they changed their name to show how serious they were about the metaverse being the future of tech and it never even came close to being a thing.

[–] NaibofTabr@infosec.pub 44 points 3 days ago (2 children)

To be fair, they've been doing mobile surveillance for a long time.

[–] artyom@piefed.social 14 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Sure, but I did specifically say mobile video surveillance. Pretty sure their goal is to reduce the friction of taking out your phone to start capturing a video.

I've already ended a friendship over these stupid things.

Based. Corporate shit impacts the planet's survival, there will be time for friends if we don't go extinct

Yeah those glasses are even ruining the rest of Ray bans sunglasses for me. Sucks because they fit my face well.

Those glasses are the evolution of VR.

The knockoffs are pretty comfortable, and much cheaper, and come with no gimmicky tech.

[–] anomnom@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yeah I wear knockoffs most of the time since I’m not very careful with them.

They still sell the regular wayfarers too, but I don’t want make people have to look twice to make sure I’m not surveilling them.

Ah, yeah. That makes sense. I've don't that double take many times, and it gets exhausting. I appreciate you thinking of others like this. Seriously. Thank you.

after thier propaganda feeds in fb wasnt generating enough profit.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 3 days ago (3 children)

isnt meta kinda late in the game for AI anyways, apple was even later and they abandoned for the most part.

[–] Miaou@jlai.lu 7 points 3 days ago

Considering they developed the framework everybody builds upon nowadays, I doubt it.

[–] howrar@lemmy.ca 3 points 3 days ago

They've been in the AI game for about as long as everyone else. I would consider their lab to be one of the best in CV tech.

[–] artyom@piefed.social 3 points 3 days ago

Not later than anyone else that hopped on the chat gpt bandwagon.
