Meta's survival is fascinating to me. They dumped money in VR, their AI is not as good as their competitors and now they are dumping money on this glasses thing. They keep on getting caught doing shady things too.

Says a lot about just how much money they’re raking in from core business.

> their AI is not as good as their competitors

That's irrelevant because their AI was never a product they sold.

I think it is the shady stuff that earns them money. They cant survive without that. The rest is a corporate hobby, basically.

i think honestly it’s the opposite. it still confuses me why meta invested so much in their pointless experiments (think any of their AR ventures) when their main source of revenue was, and continues to be, their boring advertising on consumer apps

		You call it "boring advertising on consumer apps", but that's exactly where all the shady stuff keeps happening.
