What the fuck was facebook spending $70,000,000,000 on for metaverse? SEVENTY BILLION! For some absolutely shit N64 era graphics.
That's more than every PS2 game combined (including marketing).
Just what where they spending all that money on?
@mainframed767 hopefully cocaine. That seems the best option.

@mainframed767 yeah I used to think the ethical thing to do was refuse to work for these fuckers but if it means getting to set Zuck’s money on fire for nothing, I might have gotten it wrong

@mainframed767 That was moonshot bet that was bust from the beginning.
I tried one of those AI rental rooms they have at the mall a few times and every time they’d have the helmet tethered from ceiling into a supped up gaming tower with graphics cards off to the side.
I guess it was $70B to figure out…no, we’re not fully wireless or minimal shades yet.
The Ray-bans move/push will be interesting to see if there’s any ROI down the road.

@mainframed767 I can’t get to the Billions in any rational way but they were handing out grants of at least $250K back in 2020 to companies to build apps for the Metaverse. Then, using the numbers from their App Store, they would buy the most successful ones (e.g Beat Saber/Supernatural). So, after that, we probably only need to account for $69B.

@mainframed767 Sickening to see someone can waste 70bn USD and still count as one of the riches people on this planet.
Sickening to think what kind of good things others could have done with this money.
