Today: Perché il "fallimento" da 90 miliardi di Zuckerberg è il carburante per la nuova Superintelligenza

Il funerale del metaverso - sbertucciato, ridicolizzato, dato morto appena nato - potrebbe trasformarsi, in un orizzonte temporale non troppo lontano, in un battesimo remunerativissimo. Il recente annuncio della chiusura di Horizon Worlds per i dispositivi Quest (i famosi visori) segna un punto...

Why Zuckerberg's $90 Billion "Failure" is the Fuel for the New Superintelligence

The metaverse funeral – debunked, ridiculed, given as a newborn – could, in a not-so-distant timeframe, transform into a highly lucrative baptism. The recent announcement of the closure of Horizon Worlds for Quest devices (the famous headsets) marks a…

I am gutted. There is now a date where everything I built in Horizon Worlds will no longer be accessible the way it was built. In VR. June 15th, 2026. I published hundreds of worlds. Therapeutic environments. Cultural spaces. Community rooms. Experimental art. I closed my private practice to consult with Meta directly on DEI for Horizon. I was inside the machine, and I believed in what we were building. Today's announcement: Horizon Worlds is being ripped from Quest. The VR app, removed. Our worlds, inaccessible. If I want to save anything, I need to manually republish each world as mobile-friendly. Their search engine is so broken I can't even locate all my own creations. I cannot overstate the scale of institutional betrayal this represents. Meta told creators to build. To invest. To belong. They fed us the fantasy that our work would matter inside their ecosystem. Then they gave us a termination date. Not for a feature, but for the entire medium our work was made in. This was not just another app. VR is not a screen. The worlds people built were embodied spaces. Places where people showed up as themselves, sometimes for the first time. Places where people healed. Connected. Became. I learned years ago from one of the original programmers that the app was first called Together. To gather. That was the promise at the root of it. A place where people could find their village by building it with their own hands, shaping their hopes into rooms you could walk through. What Meta has done is shatter that. Not sunset it. Shatter it. Mark Zuckerberg renamed his company Meta to claim transformation. What he has actually done is strip-mine the trust and labor of every creator who took that promise seriously. That should sit on his record permanently. I feel horror. Rage. Grief. Shame. The specific shame of having believed. And underneath all of it: the knowledge that what we built was real, even if the company that housed it never deserved us. To every creator absorbing this today: I see you. Your work mattered. It still does. They just don't get to hold it anymore. | 182 comments on LinkedIn

349: Adiós a Panasonic TV, Polaroid digital y el cargador de cinco mil dólares

Los AirPods Max reciben por fin el chip H2 con audio sin pérdidas, pero Apple sigue sin corregir los defectos que arrastran desde su lanzamiento. Samsung abandona su ambicioso tri-fold tras apenas tres meses en el mercado. Panasonic vende su línea de televisores a una empresa china, siguiendo los pasos de Sony. Y entre accesorios de lujo absurdos y pequeñas Polaroid digitales alimentadas por […]
