The metaverse group sits within Reality Labs, the Meta division focused on long-term bets like VR headsets and AR glasses. That group has lost more than $70 billion since the start of 2021. Zuckerberg has largely stopped mentioning the metaverse in public and on company earnings calls, and is instead focused on developing the large AI models that underpin AI chatbots and other generative AI products, as well as the hardware products that are more linked to those experiences, like Meta’s Ray-Ban smart display glasses.
The wildest part to me is that I still don’t know how to access it. Like what platform? How do I get in it? My VR use has tapered a ton, but my friends who still have thousands of hours logged and half a dozen different headsets don’t know how to get in even if they wanted to.
