OoopsNo, all those tech idiots are actually trying to destroy the world then rule over the ruins from their secure luxury bunkers and islands. Maximized disruption and destructive tendencies backfiring from time to time is just a side effect.
☂️-Peter Thiel is the only reason Facebook exists, he was an early angel investor and kept Facebook afloat, the bill had come due, zuck is doing this for Thiel, Thiel needs his data lakes for palantir to usher in his stateless surveillance state.
No, he’s just that terrible. Dude hasn’t had a successful original idea. Facebook wasn’t his original idea, and instagram and whatsapp were acquisitions. Everything else failed.
(des)mosthenesreact was pretty cool but that wasn’t his doing, just his $
React sucks. It was built to solve facebook-scale problems that no one else really has.
state and virtual DOM management - there’s a reason it’s widely adopted, but yea I too hate jsx and react’s quirks
IMO virtual DOM was a hacky mistake. Maybe useful when you are trying to do some absolute bullshit but it’s a fundamentally bad idea.
Honestly I think he’s just… a maximalist (there’s probably a better word for it). Doesn’t know how to be satisfied with immense success and wealth, so he wants to be integral to whatever the next thing is.
It’s like a joke I saw here the other day, about being offered 10 trillion dollars or a chance to flip a coin for 21 trillion dollars, Zuck is flipping that coin again and again. Whether it’s the metaverse or AI, he’s come to terms with taking Ls on the chance to hit it unbelievably rich, even though, frankly, he’s already as rich and influential as could possibly affect a person’s life.
Silicon Valley kind of encourages maximalism. Companies are expected to grow and it is hard to grow beyond the monopoly you’ve built for yourself.
Also, not everyone is willing to take the deal where you go retire with your ballerina wife to go become a wildlife photographer. Some people like being a businessman.
MushuChupacabraIf I was a major shareholder, I would want him removed.
artyomWhy are people baffled? The dude’s an idiot, he’s always been an idiot and will always be an idiot. Rich does not mean capable.
James R KirkThis is just more “if a company isn’t growing faster than the S&P500 it’s literally dying” logic.
I have no love for Zuck or Meta but if reality means anything then their stock price is still ridiculously inflated.

I think he’s just incompetent at running such a large company. He got lucky with Facebook, and that success masked his incompetence. Now that the landscape is shifting, his incompetence is becoming apparent. He dove head-first into the so-called metaverse and even renamed his company for it. That was a bad bet. Now he’s followed the rest of the idiots into AI, and isn’t handling it as well as them. Doesn’t matter, the whole thing will come crashing down. Apple is the only major tech company that held back and that’s looking like the right move, now.
It will be interesting to see who is left standing in a couple of years. Well Meta shrink back to only Facebook, or will the damage be too great and the whole company dissolves. With Mark at the helm, I’m betting the latter.
Not quite. He changed the name because “Facebook” was in the news too often with privacy controversies and he thought the name change would distance his company from that reputation. Seems it worked.
Well, also because they bought Instagram and stuff
How? who thinks “Meta“ is ok on privacy today?
It’s insecurity. He correctly understands that Facebook, and all social media is vapid, low tech bullshit. He badly wants to be seen as a visionary and an innovator and a tech ubermensch. Not just some dude who caught lightning in a jar with a slightly polished, pervy version of Myspace.
Facebook/meta was very early in the “AI” space. They built lots of tools and models being widely used right now. Just look at their popular github repos, faiss, SAM, vision transformers, visual embeddings, core ML libraries, all very essential components of many ML systems.
Saying facebook “just” dove into AI is wrong, facebook has been there from the early days along with Google (and probably some more) in building the very foundations these stupid LLMs “thrive” on
As long as it’s destroyed, I don’t mind what Zuckerberg intended.
That would actually be cool of him.
Fingers crossed
I dont think he’s ever looked more like Beaker.
You take that back. Beaker is a better man by far!
Fuck meta, but the quest 3 is my favourite product I’ve ever bought
Is it possible to jailbreak it?
I’m not sure, you are able to install whatever apks you like
Doesn’t it require Facebook login? I think that’s what some people would need a jailbreak for (and the reason I’d never buy one)
I have a Quest2. They did briefly try that shenanigans, but the backlash was so great that they decoupled it again. I deleted my FB account and it still works fine. You still need an Oculus acccount, or whatever they call it now. I haven’t spent a cent in the oculus store. I bought VR Desktop on Sidequest, and use it solely for PCVR - mostly simracing. The native streaming, and Steam VR streaming are free, but they have too many compression artifacts imo. I get minimal Meta shitfuckery, so it’s tolerable for now.
It’s getting a bit long in the tooth, though, so I’m considering the Steam Frame if it isn’t too expensive (hope springs eternal), so I can ditch the company entirely.
I think you need to create a horizon account maybe, but that’s whatever, just make another email
You may be able to use it without an account, i’ll check. Either way, it’s the best value headset on the market
