Meta is scaling back its metaverse focus, cutting studios and head count at Reality Labs to prioritize artificial intelligence.

    Motherfuckers even named their company after their useless hype product and then 5 years later just quietly kill it. Peak billionaire behaviour

        Well, by induction since the last hype was the “metaverse” and they rebranded to Meta, so because now the hype is “AI” they’ll rebrand to A, or maybe Artificial.

        Q.E.D.

          Since there is still nothing actually worth calling “metaverse” as the sci-fi concept it was promised to be, they might go for something around AGI.

            In all seriousness I really could see Zuck going for some AGI bullshit, or even ASI

            Edit: oh fuck, ASImov! That’s what they’ll call it next

        I’m going to guess they’ll keep it and justify it as “metadata”. Like the metadata of it’s users that it sells

        It was “Meta”, but now they’re going all-in on AI, so they’ll probably want to go “MetAI” except that it’s lame and so are all the other various portmanteaus, so they’ll pivot to something inexplicable and wild like “Everything” or “AllAI”
