It's too bad this project didn't have the chance to completely bankrupt Meta/Facebook

[dieselphiend]

How can you spend $26 billion on what amounts to a multiplayer video game? There's no way we're getting the full story.

[Lucaslee]

3 Years later: How can you spend $24 billion on what amounts to be a chat bot?

[bobino]

They didn’t rename it because they were confident in the meta verse, they did it because they had a reputation as a toxic company that abused its use of algorithms to suppress views they didn’t like. And everyone knows Facebook is for oldies and they wanted to stay relevant.

[ChipsChallenge]

Was hoping they’d pump more billions into this

[dr.elvis.h.christ]

Someone must have shown him Second Life and laughed.

[TheUtube]

This whole "metaverse" thing always struck me as a solution in search of a problem. Between Zoom calls, texting, emails, etcetera, how much more connected to we really need to be? Plus extra money for special hardware and so on? I don't get the point of it.

[huntforbigfloptober]

Let’s be real, Zuckerberg only wants this AI because he hopes it’ll help him learn to blend in with humans so he can stop being outed as an android

[Carnyzzle]

Mark is the only one who thinks that any of us would be interested in a metaverse controlled by him

[leafdog]

Imagining a year from now when Facebook puts out its first AI model and within days it's begging for death

[aaron_wolcott]

The main topic to consider regarding Facebook 'transition' into AI is the disturbingly massive quantity of extremely personal information they have about a large portion of the world's population to use as training data.

[JME_]

What's crazy is that I'm an art director in the game development industry and I'm still getting hit up by recruiters for meta. Apparently they are still building something because they have open roles and they are contacting me

[lucasm]

Personally I always figured the whole Metaverse/Meta rebrand shit was an attempt to divert from bad PR from the whole privacy scandal, no surprise it's being killed off.

[NerdyCatCoffeeee]

This is it. Metaverse is dead, and we killed it. This should be celebrated!

[reid]

"Metaverse is Dead... Because AI Is the Future" awakens levels of Luddite within me I didn't know was possible

[iShowUnusualBehavior]

Imagine how much you could have actually helped humanity with 26 billion dollars.

[FSAPOJake]

This whole Metaverse disaster could have been so easily avoided if Facebook just did some market research first. Unfortunately, Zuck is surrounded by yes-men who are too afraid to tell him that an idea he has may not work out all that well.

[sirkastic]

Zuck invents Skynet as a vindictive response to world's reaction to Metaverse

[MirceaKitsune]

As someone who was and still is interested in VR, I celebrate this turn of events as I dance in the ashes of Meta! Any metaverse needs to be built and controlled by the people, ideally all open-source and decentralized. We want none of the censorship and "safe spaces" corporate social media and governments want to shove down our throats: This does NOT belong in the hands of people who still think pixels on a screen can harm children or words turn people into criminals... they should only ever touch a computer to read the news and check the weather.

[UninstallingWindows]

I think the problem with Metaverse was the approach they took. It was fundamentally wrong and limited. The things you could create in Meta were all very limited and pre-defined. The real MetaVerse needs to be an extension of HTML/Web technologies and use the same principles, allowing everyone to build whatever they want. In other words, Meta needs to be open, and standardized and use a shared game engine to render the VR worlds( Just as we use shared browsers/javascript engine) to render the web. Meta should run on one standard(free) game engine that renders everything. Deploying your game to Meta should require no input/discussion/permission from Meta( just like deploying a new website to the web, requires no input from Meta)
In theory, once you have downloaded all the game/app assets, you should be able to almost seamlessly walk from one game into another, in MetaVerse.
