    This is solid evidence for the inability of large corporations to actually innovate. They either copy smaller competitors or release crap that people don’t need and never asked for, like “AI”.

      As I said in another post:

      The reason we have a Chinese competitor that we cannot directly control is that Meta is buying up every promising US platform and shutting it down. Or just trying to copy it so that the competitor does not get enough users

      I mean you could make the argument that Meta innovates, just not in any meaningful way.

      They’ve innovated in VR, for sure, no question. But it’s clearly not turning out to be what they hoped in the sort of weird AR business meeting sense (thank the lord).

      They’ve also innovated in data-mining, which I’d personally consider a negative.

        Well, they bought Occulus, so I don’t credit the VR innovations to Meta, they just added the data collecting “innovation” on top of it.

          It’s not like they haven’t continued to innovate since they acquired the brand…

            Nah, most of the good meta vr tech was from john carmack. Ever since he left the company to do ai stuff, the meta software has gotten worse and worse. There was an issue a month ago where quest headsets were being literally bricked (bootloader errors) from an update and meta had to go and replace all the headsets affected by the bug.

      I think, unfortunately, quite a lot of people have poor taste and don’t mind obvious AI slop, even enjoy it.
