>gambles the entire future of his company on the metaverse right before AI became the actual revolutionary technology (of which Microsoft is the current leader)
>even Apple's first foray into VR/AR is already superior to anything Meta has done so far
What is Zuckerberg thinking right now?
He was replaced by a walking, glowing, talking puppet.
The real zuckerberg died to retardation decades ago.
>I have failed my Illuminati Masters. I will be sacrificed to Moloch next Summers Eve,
I was amused
He has the biggest AI training womb in existence camouflaged as metaverse infrastructure.
He zuck'd a lot of great talent into his VR/AR divisions - just so he could jack into the real metaverse for the rich.
>AI became the actual revolutionary technology
If you think about, Zuck's playing the long game. Once AI takes away all our jobs, we will have no choice but to either suffer in reality or live in the metaverse.
AI has been "the new revolutionary technology" ever since 2017 when Elon Musk was promising driverless cars. It's been almost 7 years. Zuck knew about it and didn't invest in it because it's shit.
Neural networks can only solve a narrow range of problems; the set of problems for which you can either gather data easily (like labeled images) or produce data easily (like simulating game matches). What did you want Meta to do? A chatbot that loses money? lol
They already have plenty of neural networks for the recommendation algorithms in Facebook and Instagram. I genuinely wonder what do you think they should have done with "AI".
Have you heard of synthetic data you nagger? In time we will have infinite data for everything.
A person generally only does one great thing in their life at most. Zuck's success blinded him and caused him to make bad decisions.
>caused him to make bad decisions
>Bought Instagram for 1 billion
>Bought WhatsApp for 19 billion
>Current market cap of meta is 820 billion
Facebook (the company) survived after Facebook (the website) had peaked. This has never been done by any social media before it. They bought the competitors and kept running them flawlessly, introducing new features to keep them fresh. I have a teenage sister who instead of using TikTok for short video doomscrolling, uses Instagram Reels.
What exactly did Zuck do that was a "bad decision"? Just the Metaverse stunt? His company goes way beyond Facebook; if it didn't, it'd be dead already. He's a giant of the business.
People who hype AI like OP I put in the same category as people who buy crypto and nfts
What's wrong with crypto? On paper it's a good technology, I still believe it will go up eventually. Fiat money is simply inferior, all crypto needs to do is become as practical as a credit card.
It was fine as a way to anonymously buy things. but it's a retarded replacement for fiat currency.
>Fiat money is simply inferior, all crypto needs to do is become as practical as a credit card.
Oh boy, another aspect of our society that was working just fine being replaced by yet another service that's dependent on a promethean server farm that wastes electricity and computer parts.
>It wastes it electricity
So you don't have a good reason, just mid wittery. It's not waste if it's useful. Fuck your globohomo SWIFT network.
Fiat currency is backed by the strength and influence of a country. Crypto is backed by 5 neets screaming "trust me bro" from their basement and attic.
Embarrassing post, fiat is backed by nothing, literally, it's in the name, fiat. On the other hand PoW coins are considered a commodity which doesn't need to be backed by anything but itself. There is zero trust required, unlike fiat which is exclusively based on a belief system.
The Dollar is backed by nothing, literally, except the fact that it's needed to trade with the most powerful country in the world, the largest weapon exporter, and oil. Any currency is backed by who uses it, and 5 neets screaming I USE IT are no basis for an economy.
What's up with this retard insisting that Crypto is somehow not fiat??? Crypto's value is also derived from somewhere which is irrelevant to most. Why should how much computation power you put in matter the slightest to the person using currency?
>because it's uhh....expensive?
Expensive in what you retard? Fiat money right?
Crypto still works with normal economic rules, it derives it's value the same way any fiat currency does, whether or not somebody is willing to take a certain amount for a certain thing/service. It just has the magical "computation power" backing it instead of a powerful government which most entities must respect to survice.
Crypto isn't barter, it isn't something useful in itself, what is useful is the trust/power backing it, same as any traditional fiat currency. Anybody who argues crypto isn't fiat is a complete retard. You can argue that crypto is better than 'traditional fiat' for so and so reasons, not that it's not fucking fiat itself
>enough electricity to power an electric car for 2 miles everytime somebody wants to buy crack behind 5 Guys is totally better than just giving a guy a few paper dollars.
Fucking retard.
Cryptofags have been saying this forever and it's coping + seething.
If proof of stake were ever viable it's what everyone would be using and there would have never been the absurd rush to invest in crypto to begin with.
proof of work crypto is obviously flawed yes
Literally the opposite. PoW is the only valid crypto.
delusional
there's nothing wrong with a properly distributed proof of stake node system
>there's nothing wrong with this flawed trustless system as long as you trust it
Crypto is shit even on paper. Imagine just for a moment that crypto replaces the dollar.
>easy to trace
Crypto transfers are public to everyone. The only anonymity you have is that people don't know your wallet is associated with you specifically.
Once you start getting a regular paycheck to a crypto wallet, this advantage becomes a problem. Suddenly your entire banking history is publicly available.
From rent, groceries and OnlyFans payments to Bad Dragon purchases will all be tied to your wallet and publicly available for everyone to see.
This is also a major issue for businesses as every other business can now always see everyone elses bank balance at all times.
>crypto is non-fungible
Should someone manage to steal your money then you're fucked. Crypto transactions can not be reversed since they are all permanent.
Not only does this mean no fraud-prevention and no legal guarantees for the safety of your money, it also means crypto can become lost.
No longer do you need to steal money to fuck someone over, you can just denial-of-service their crypto wallet. You might even do it by accident if you ever lose your wallet keys, ain't no way to get that money back ever again.
This becomes even more of an issue on a global scale should something like a business ever manage to lose a large amount of crypto all at once since it significantly affects the total pool of crypto in existence.
>What's wrong with crypto?
It's easier to list the things that AREN'T wrong with crypto:
>it's decentralized, so you can bypass any single entity who doesn't want to approve your transaction (in theory, if they have 51% then get fucked nerd)
>it can be privacy friendly and digital at the same time (it can also not be privacy friendly in the slightest, either by design or by mistake)
>very easy to hide in meatspace, you only need to store the wallet password
Everything else is so fucked it usually completely invalidates the above in multiple ways, for example being able to hide it easily doesn't really help because the back and forth between real money and crypto is a massive risk.
Man I dunno

Like how can you NOT hype that shit? The future is here, shit is incredible.
AI's good at pattern matching and referencing known facts. Ask something that has an answer it knows about and it's great, but you'll quickly see its limitations on something that doesn't have a public solution (eg, ask chatgpt to prove the Reimann Hypothesis and see what it shits out. It probably won't make sense to anyone with knowledge of math beyond calc 2)
Nice reddit story.
WOW YOU IDENTIFIED A BUTTERFLY HOLY SHIT REDDIT THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING
It's called computer vision, moron, it's been around since the 90's. The MNIST dataset is from 1994. What you're marveled at is something you learn in a fucking introductory course on NN's.
>Holy shit, you have a bunch of labelled images online that give a petabytes-big dataset of input->output, AND there's an algorithm that approximates this input->output function? Holy shit!!!!!"
It's literally just like a Taylor polynomial that approximates an arbitrary function, but instead of a polynomial it's linear transformations with a non-linear component. It's not generalizable to arbitrary problems -- only to problems that have petabytes of available data, like
said -- and it's not "magic".
Also just realized it's probably bait because you said "holy shit my wife did X" like a redditor.
God I wish I were this easily impressed
being a simpleton must be kino
nah ai is actually useful
so are cryptos are but their uses are incredibly hyped by midwit douchbags
the only worthwhile criptoecurrency is monero. that's it
>Verification not required.
>monero
its only use case is to sell drugs and prostitutes
that's literally it
every other "use case" is just some made up hypothetical shit invented by privacy schizos
So... it's like a fiat with better monetary policy and more applications?
AI is the oversimplified buzzword that actually alludes to nural-network based machine learning. People claim all sorts of things to be AI, but this is the only true article. Using if-then statements to determine auto brightness for your phone screen is not AI. Training a model to do something insightfully is.
If you think AI and crypto are even remotely similar you have sub 110 IQ. The only similarities are that they are both hyped, if you can't intuit the differences and the reasons why someone would have legitimate reasons to hype AI its unironically over for you.
You’re retarded. GPT4 has basically changed my entire workflow. Crypto has done nothing except destroy the planet and reallocate wealth from mom and pop to early adopter neets. Crypto is the most useless thing on the planet, and LLMs are arguably the most useful creation since the smartphone.
LLMs are actually somewhat useful while crypto isn't but let's not pretend like they're not overhyped.
GPT will get to the point where it can basically micro-manage your entire life, and Dall-E 3 will get near perfect at image doctoring but literally everything else tech bugs say it's gonna revolutionize is a fucking comedy act.
They're saying they're gonna figure out how to communicate with animals with it, you are legitimately hopeless if you believe that.
>GPT4 has basically changed my entire workflow.
you're not doing anything worthwhile then
He made his money.
So: Who cares?
Zuck isn't thinking. Zuck just wants to have a good day job and meet interesting people, and do some kind of contact sport to retain sanity and boost ego.
You are literally asking why a CEO that made it gives any fucks about another company ran by company men who made it, in a showdown that currently is just some market with no actual stakes.
How to castrate himself and his facebook users.
>be shecklesberg
>have a lot of data on peoples preferences and interactions

His plan from day one was to sell it. Adding "value" to the data is where he hopes to make most of the money
>What is Zuckerberg thinking right now?
"I should buy at top instead of selling at bottom"
He didn't listen to Carmack who clearly stated the project was taken over by the managerial class who put "architectural astronauts" webshitters in charge without care or understanding for implementation. No real work got done, just a bunch of bike shedding and circle jerking.

Meta does AI too.
Markov Bablers are not revolutionary.
You have no idea what you are talking about. Zuck has invested a shit ton in AI and hardware infrastructure for training models. They are very much a player in AI.
The competition is fierce, but the broad trends that Zuck invested in are all playing out. He has been remarkably spot on actually.
Their investments have not manifested into actual products yet, though. Investments don't mean shit unless they produce something.
>>AI became the actual revolutionary technology
this meme again
yup, AI is only revolutionary for weapons guidance, otherwise its just a google search that requires billions of pre-processing passes to "learn" from. Its a nothing burger.
