We taking bets on the next rebrand name?
Molt
It was "Meta", but now they're going all-in on AI, so they'll probably want to go "MetAI" except that it's lame and so are all the other various portmanteaus, so they'll pivot to something inexplicable and wild like "Everything" or "AllAI"
I'm going to guess they'll keep it and justify it as "metadata". Like the metadata of it's users that it sells
Well, by induction since the last hype was the "metaverse" and they rebranded to Meta, so because now the hype is "AI" they'll rebrand to A, or maybe Artificial.
Q.E.D.
Since there is still nothing actually worth calling "metaverse" as the sci-fi concept it was promised to be, they might go for something around AGI.
In all seriousness I really could see Zuck going for some AGI bullshit, or even ASI
Edit: oh fuck, ASImov! That's what they'll call it next
Oh great, because billionaires shitting on Tolkien wasn't enough.

I can call you Meta, and Meta you can call me AI. Call me AI.
