@GossiTheDog people will always have this biological and psychological need to connect, share stories and art. These companies try and replace that believing they can enslave biology, but always ultimately fail.

don't worry, all these orgs are also hyping GenAI as the next big thing.
Bitcoin, nft, VR, AI.
Seeing as all these things are not worthy of our time and effort to fight, but needing to die, I am happy to let Meta do the killing.

@GossiTheDog Honestly, as pessimistic as I was, "Meta" threw so much money and reputation at metaverse I honestly thought something permanent would come out of it even if it was still just a token executive toy VRML chat app just to keep the boss happy.

When is everyone going to accept that Facebook/Zuckerberg didn't _create_ the next big thing in social media... He stumbled across it?
He _found_ it. He didn't _build_ it. He _monetized_ it, for certain. These things aren't the same, however.
