> Zuckerberg rushing into every new fad with billions of dollars has somehow tricked people into thinking that's what big tech is about and all of them should be shovelling money into this.

Zuckerberg failed every single fad he tried.

He's becoming more irrelevant every year and only the company's spoils from the past (earned not less by enabling, for example, a genocide to be committed in Myanmar https://www.pbs.org/newshour/world/amnesty-report-finds-face...) help carry them through to the series of disastrous idiotic decision Zuck is inflicting on them.

- VR with Oculus. It never caught on, for most people who own one, it's just gathering dust.

- Metaverse. They actually spend billions on that? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SAL2JZxpoGY

- LLAMA is absolute trash, a dumpster fire in the world of LLMs

Zuck is now trying to jump again on the LLM bandwagon and he's trying to...buy his way in with ridiculous pay packages: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/07/31/technology/ai-researchers.... Why is he so wrong to do that, you might ask?

He is doing it at the worst possible moment: LLMs are stagnating and even far better players than Meta like Anthropic and OpenAI can't produce anything worth writing about.

ChatGPT5 was a flop, Anthropic are struggling financially and are lowering token limits and preparing users for cranking up prices, going 180 on their promises not to use chat data for training, and Zuck, in his infinite wisdom, decides to hire top AI talent for premium price at a rapidly cooling market? You can't make up stuff like that.

It would appear that apart from being an ass kisser to Trump, Zuck shares another thing with the orange man-child running the US: a total inability to make good, or even sane deals. Fingers crossed that Meta goes bankrupt just like Trump's 6 banrkruptcies and then Zuck can focus on his MMA career.

I've been taking heat for years for making fun of the metaverse. I had hopeful digital landlords explain to me that theyll be charging rent in there! Who looked at that project and thought it was worth anything?

meta made $62 billion dollars last year. Mark burns all this money because his one and only priority is making sure his company doesnt become an also ran. The money means nothing to him
