Jen X. Zerofux@georgetakei did they really think the Boomers on FB were going to go buy VR headsets to post grandchild pictures?
WesDym@teruterubozu I have adopted a zero-tolerance policy towards anyone who uses the term 'Boomer' unironically. (I'm not a Boomer myself. Just a fucking grown-up.) This childish trope needs to die. Be better.
Tor Iver Wilhelmsen@wesdym @teruterubozu Wow, language police fail: the «baby boomers» is a term used for decades.
NutriamixBelieving that a fictional, nebulous “Metaverse” is going to exist anytime soon, if ever, is pure delusional thinking by a dimwit.
Wasting many billions on something that would never succeed is proof that Zuck is not that smart.
Zuck is a Schmuck.
@nutriamix It sounds like he was trying to steal the wind from Second Life, who've been doing it successfully for over 20 years.
David H. McCoyTime for another company rename?

Well played!
OldDutchCap@georgetakei I have to say (in fairness to Zuckerberg) that this is one of those hindsight is 20/20 moments. Do I think they should have put all that money into VR? Nope. But if the bet had paid off they would have a HUGE lead over their competitors.
DB SchweinIronically Second Life is still online 23 years later.
It wasn't the idea of avatars that made that fail, though many will say it was. It was the "real life prices for your avatar's shit" that was the problem. H*ll if you'd been able to login with any VR set rather than requiring FB's latest offering I bet more would have at least given it a try. You can pick those things up for ~$20, they're just not very good VR sets.
@deirdrebeth @georgetakei Which is why many of the ardent defenders of the hype called other stuff like World of Warcraft parts of "the Metaverse" as well, though you don’t use the VR headsets for any of these other examples, being 3rd person and all…
Edvin Malinovskis@georgetakei can we now get the word "meta" back?

skuaLOL, lying conartist, genocide facilitator and creep eats faces too.
Maybe users can build something useful out of the brainspace that this crud was occupying?

Guess things took a turn for the verse.
Edelruth, PBS Passport HolderIs that not very meta?

@iveyline@georgetakei Now let's wait for the big AI rationalisation.
MonkeyPanic! 
@georgetakei Meta also destroyed VR Games by fragmenting the market into eco systems.
I hope PC VR survives.

MikeStok@georgetakei I’m sure the $80b will reduce their tax bill.
