A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Zuckerberg misled everyone, burned tens of billions of dollars, convinced an industry of followers to submit to his quixotic obsession, and then killed it the second that another idea started to interest Wall Street.

tbh despite getting really interested and pissed off by the metaverse when it was announced, I have not thought about it in months.

I tried that and it didn't work :(

Dang. I was hoping that the metaverse would be Zuckerberg's white whale that he just poured resources into forever, sinking Facebook in the process.

Wait, has Zuck officially dumped this?

No, but his latest speeches don't really mention the Metaverse and suddenly focus on AI. Meta has been investing in both recently, it's the orientation of the speeches that has suddenly changed.
