Amazing for motivation: “Everyone is unhappy; the only people who are not unhappy are, literally, executives,” an Instagram employee told WIRED”

That is just where we want Meta ;)

in 10 years, nobody will use instagram because every post will be AI generated. or rather, you won't be able to tell whether it's AI generated.

[–] Regrettable_incident@lemmy.world 1 points 21 minutes ago

And there will only be bots looking at it.

[–] MyVeryRealName@lemmy.world 1 points 27 minutes ago

So what if it's AI generated?

Firing people while you're making record profits. Doesn't get more American than that

We should import some French culture

[–] gandalf_der_12te@feddit.org 1 points 36 minutes ago

the french revolution immediately turned into a terror regime and after that, the napoleonic wars.

I hear the Americans are importing a lot of South Afrucan culture tgese days

Hey investors: Think how much money Facebook could save by firing the CEO that decided to rename the whole company after a failed product.

[–] Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 7 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

He renamed Facebook to meta because the leak of Facebook data to Cambridge Analytica and revelations by whistle blower Frances Haugen damaged the Facebook brand.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 1 points 31 minutes ago

Fortunately it worked very well for him and we all have a very positive view of meta.

Stop using FaceBook. Problem solved.

[–] Zannsolo@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

And whatsapp and Instagram

[–] Gamechanger@slrpnk.net 11 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

They are just AI washing, they got problems and I love it!

[–] XLE@piefed.social 7 points 17 hours ago

The final stage of enshittification in motion.

The thing is, Meta are making more money than ever. Will this continue? At what point will things become unsustainable so that the house of cards collapses?

[–] bigbangdangler@reddthat.com 3 points 15 hours ago

We could be beyond it. What hasn't happened quite yet are things like failing currencies, but it's entirely possible we are beyond the point of no return. Once the giant ring of investments catches up with itself, the snake eats its own tail, the bottom drops out, and the greatest economic crash the world has ever seen stampedes unfettered through the lives of every person on the planet.

"Are making more money than ever" is a administrative subjective term. Your checks are as balanced as your willing to show in your books.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 2 points 15 hours ago

What’s “Meta”? Is that like a clothing brand or something?

[–] underThunder@thelemmy.club 3 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Well, Zuckerberg was so successful with his pivot to the metaverse so why not?

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 1 points 30 minutes ago

The amazing thing about that is that it wasn't even a particularly bad idea, it was just implemented badly.

[–] CombatWombat@feddit.online 9 points 18 hours ago

I am certain they had no other choice

[–] Soulphite@reddthat.com 3 points 19 hours ago

Gosh darn the luck!

[–] db2@lemmy.world 2 points 19 hours ago

How terrible. A crying shame. Anyway..
