However what is interesting is this sounds like a company in it’s early death throes. They’re a social media company that’s core products are in decline to competitors like TikTok, and they’re desperately trying to diversify.
The “metaverse” was an expensive flop. Now it’s pivoting to AI by sacking employees to save costs and redirecting large numbers of the rest away from it’s core product. But Meta is way behind in the AI race and seemingly throwing everything at this while ignoring it’s core product.
Meta is becoming like IBM; it probably won’t disappear but it’ll just be another also-ran.
It can’t fail fast enough, and all these miserable assholes who helped him build his empire can also get fucked. They are burning the planet and now they are crying because the world they are helping to build is biting at them? Yeah, well, tough luck, you should have quit long ago to get my sympathy.
Meta is different from IBM in that Zuckerberg made himself god-emperor and cannot be voted out of his position. IBM’s survival took guts and re-invention, Zuckerberg showed that he is a one-trick pony that stole the one trick from the twins.
My money is on Meta ending like Sun Microsystems or Yahoo! Bought for trinkets by some bigger brand, stripped for staff and parts, and then five years later you get an email saying that Facebook is going to be discontinued come January 1st, please join us at Amanvidia.
I have little sympathy to be honest.
