This technology fucking sucks at what they're trying to make it do and everyone without a marketing degree can see that.
It would have been so much funnier though if nfts or metaverse was the thing that they were trying to cram into everything. Imagine booting up visual studio and having to load into a full 3d world where you are also sitting at a desk and coding on a slightly smaller screen in third person.
Zuck tried exactly this though
Did he really?? I didn't think any of that metaverse shit actually got off the ground. That's fucking hilarious
Well he tried, but telling people to put on a headset to do normal work activities was a bridge too far for literally everyone. But it was his goal. It just crashed on the fucking runway before it attempted to take off.
the tech bourgeoisie not understanding that a full-3d vr internet where you walk around like in real life to do basic tasks was invented purely as a narrative device and would actually be shit irl is hilarious to me
Surprisingly receptive to criticism. Could have easily burned another 70 billions.
They did invest crazy amounts into their Metaverse bullshit. Even renaming the company to "Meta". Zuck is like the prototype of Scam Faultman when it comes to techbroism.
70 billions
I mean I'm fairly certain it was the most anyone had seen Zuckerberg in a decade and caused him to begin his buff broccoli look a year later or something; so I think that was the main takeaway he learned is people are revolted by him.
isn't that why they did the raybans thing?
I don't know about this, but i imagine the tech isn't there yet to make it work without like causing strokes or migraines or something.
It didn't obviously.
Not entirely metaverse but a fried of mine worked for a company that use this thing and people working from home office need to be logged and do the meeting in that space. It's like playing a fucking MMO while working.
Even with Meta failing with their VR shenanigans some bullshit still lingers.
i remember using this at another company that was full remote, and i do think its at least passable. it was at least very cute
