So many large companies operate solely on investment enough to carry them for hundreds of years without ever making a profit.
Strangely, they always later collapse when investors want to see some money coming back, or stop bankrolling them.
I think Zuckerberg is still banking on us eventually entering a ready player one situation in which he will have a massive lead on others thanks to his investments in AI and VR.
As someone who was lucky enough to get gifted a headset for secret Santa (meant to be $50 limit too 😂). I’ve got to say, I get their vision. It’s a brilliant experience and interacting with others is incredibly natural. It’s certainly going to become more mainstream as the technology continues to get better and cheaper.
The sooner Zuck admits they’re a social media platform the sooner he can stop throwing hundreds of billions away to only realize they only sell ads
I have one of the oldest mainstream headsets. But when Facebook bought Oculus I immediately knew and said that VR died that very moment.
If VR ever gets anywhere, Meta won’t be the reason.
Money well spent. Good job Mark. You’re a smart fella.
and renamed the whole company to that 1%
they need to make it so that’s it becomes like a glasses. it’s too big atm. i really wouldn’t care about shorter battery life. 2hrs most.
i would love to have this ar/vr glasses on like a regular glasses and go on a walk or just watch something while i’m doing workout or something
