Welp. Metaverse has passed over the Rainbow Hype Cycle Bridge.
I'm excited about augmented reality. Please someone spend $10 Billion on that now.
@rpardee Not weird. Can't look away from a train wreck.
I've been wondering when Zuckerberg will change the name of Facebook from Meta to AI something now ;)
@ceorl Which would be a little awkward since their LLM was leaked and has spawned a zillion open source models and folks are saying the Bigs have lost the generative AI race altogether.

@ceorl But I mean yes of course Zuckerberg will totally do it.

It is one of the few things they can really dictate, so they do ;)
Well as the article suggested, it is all about appearing to lead rather than actually leading.

His interest in VR was actually disasterous to the VR platform I use, drawing in lots of users with wrong expectations.
Actually it was a bit like some of our CoSo challenges, when a massive influx of new folks becomes toxic to the existing culture.
@b4cks4w is it weird that this makes me more interested in it?
