Are we forgetting the Metaverse was already a joke well before GenAI appeared?
Seems like he made a ‘great’ business decision huh
Btw 4 BILLION, with a B, is insane. Like how do you even spend that much money in a quarter (3 months)?!
what the fuck is the meta verse anyway and how did it cost 80 billion.
Jesus, just hang it up already lol
Can not lose too much too fast as far as we’re concerned.
My sons actually liked their Quest headsets.
But I was pissed they had to open an account to use them and they just let me know they lost all their games when Meta did whatever with their accounts.
Sooooo…. Fuck Meta.
How much is it estimated to solve world hunger? But we have this bullshit instead.
I’m sure it will pay off soon.
any other CEO would be fired a 3 years ago. Mark has structured the company so he can be a despot
It helped launch Meta / Rayban’s pervert glasses, so thanks for that.
Good. Hope they lose more.
How the fuck is he still allowed to run anything?? How does he still have enough money to keep functioning??? If I missed a week off one of my two jobs I’d forever fall behind on rent.
OK but a viable product is right around the corner right? Right??? Buehler? Buehler???
Reality hurts isnt it?
They should have hired me. Or, at least someone who likes VR
I imagine they’ve amassed some serious patents. AR will take off in the next 5-10 years and Meta will be well set up.
I know it’s hip to laugh at Zucker, but I think he’s bet on the right horse here… it will just take a while
This has gotta to be some sort of Hollywood accounting going on. Like how are you spending that much unless you’re cooking the books.
Incompetence on a massive scale
Thy name is Zuck
Sounds like the reality is that they are failures
Couldn’t that amount fund universal healthcare?
These people waste so much money on absolutely nothing. Society could be much better off without them and their foolish spending.
Wouldn’t the world be a better place if Meta went bankrupt?
I love my Quest 3 so, I for one am happy they’ve spent the scratch on what we have so far.
Its highly likely they could have done better with all that money thrown at it but I’m glad *someone* did. VR games are a lot of fun.

> That vision was interrupted by the generative AI boom, spawned by OpenAI’s ChatGPT in late 2022. Meta has widely been viewed as a laggard in AI, but the company is investing heavily in infrastructure as well as new models and services to try and keep pace with OpenAI, Anthropic and Google.
The disruptor has become the disruptee.
The fact someone can have so much money that they can operate giant divisions at a loss rivalling the GDP of small countries and still retain their power. And still argue they know what they are doing after the fact.
What a world bro. We should rename Earth to Gaslight.
VR is dead and they bet huge on that. They’re still full speed ahead on AR.
Are these losses or “losses”?
Equal to 80k employees getting paid $100k a year for ten years
But stock will still be through the roof because that’s our timeline
That’s like a whole OpenAI worth of GPU racks probably
He is in a world by himself.
Thats why he keeps sinking money into it.
