    Meta the same company that changed it’s name from “Facebook” to the name of its now failed venture the “meta verse”.

    The company that spent BILLIONS trying to get people give up reality for “VR chat but make it Microsoft teams”.

    Your confused they are making a bad purchase based on hype? Why?

    Zuckerberg more than any other tech CEO uses acquisitions to either adopt or strangle any potential competitor in the cradle. But he isn’t a visionary, he doesn’t actually know what technology will be useful. This is a perfect example.

    Had forgotten Moltbook was a thing. Or maybe it was something else with the proposal of “social media for AIs; humans optional”.

    Reminds me of some news about Meta pushing LLMs in the comments of Facebook, and also about the zombie profiles where those from dead people would keep posting through LLM mimicry as if the person was alive. I wonder if Meta is hellbent on making the dead internet theory real.

      Also about Moltbook, paraphrasing an older comment of mine, social medias run by AIs are like Computer vs Computer battles in PS2 games - it’s fun to watch only for first one or two battles.

      It had some technical issues earlier on but it’s up and running right now. Looks pretty active.
