@madeindex The economy is a joke.

@madeindex

It's all funny-money though. Doesn't exist outside the circle of tech-bro companies that "invest".

Just like the current AI "investment": OpenAI invests $100bn in Nvidia who invests $100bn in Microsoft who invests $100bn in OpenAI. [paraphrased]

@madeindex I know exactly one person who is into VR in general. And he talks mounds of trash on Meta.

@madeindex Hopefully, AI follows soon

@madeindex Hypothetically, if I were a major shareholder in a company that spent $73 billion on a whim with absolutely nothing to show for it, I would be doing everything I could to replace the leadership...

It really highlights (yet again) how "boards represent the shareholders" is a pile of horseshit.

@madeindex when you say "the metaverse" you are actually talking about the app "Meta Horizon" ? Don't you ?
Because I know a lot of people going in some metaverses like VR-Chat and it's really cool

@madeindex I was always amazed and would make jokes about these verses with no legs. Microsoft had something similar for Teams.

@madeindex Imagine if those 73 billion had been spent on improving schools, or making insulin cost-free for diabetics.

@madeindex I think Second Life still has more active users than the Metaverse ever did.

Just wish I knew how to reach the Metaverse, or I would also post this there ;)

Here is hoping @threads is somehow connected 😂
