A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

What ever happened to this metaverse nonsense? I mean they changed the company name to show how seriously they were taking it and ... nothing.
They may have realised that they didn't want to compete with second life anymore
Aren't they big enough to just buy Second Life and have a full, already-working "metaverse" waiting for them?
Second Life is privately owned, just like Steam/Valve. Meta can’t just buy them - and this is good.
Never underestimate the power of backing up a dump truck filled with cash and tipping it onto the front yard of someone you're trying to buy.
