Maybe they’re doing the same thing to Zuckerberg

I also keep a copy to remind me that Bezos looked like a troll before and now looks slightly less trolly, and it only took hundreds of billions of dollars.
Zuckerberg is just trying to recreate Futurama internet
Man looks better now than 15 years ago…
Bezos has an actual, physical brand. And solves legitimate supply chain issues. Zuckerberg does not. Mark formed his business on a college hype experience and that hype is falling apart.
AWS solved major infrastructure problems for companies and is great to use. It cuts dev time dramatically and saves tons of money.
The metaverse is kind of the opposite. It solves no problem and costs a fortune. It will probably morph into something interesting at some point and the tech is interesting, but as a concept, it is just so far from being ready for the market. The timing is also really bad. Half the population already has zoom fatigue so they aren’t likely to slap on a vr headset in their free time. That same group is also the target audience because of the cost of entry of vr tech. It is kind of a perfect storm for shitty uptake of the product.
Where this will get interesting is when AI / ML / NLP / VR come together to create a holodeck like experience where I can give a verbal description of a scene or experience and be dropped into it. As a software architect, I would actually be interested in working on that.
Deep down I kind of feel like Metaverse is going to be a trillion dollar investment in 10 years just because inverse WSB to be honest
Facebook is a screaming value stock right now
Fair point but AWS is actually a business service. The metaverse is a pedo playground and DOA.
I feel like the way people talk about the metaverse is how people talked about the internet when it first started to take off
Metaverse is stupid. He wants to replace the standard internet environment with something that’s just harder to use. Compare how you might list a product on a storefront on the metaverse vs a typical website. Right now you take a picture, name the product, name a price – and you’re done. In the metaverse, what do you do to integrate it into VR? Make a 3d model? Put it in a 3d store that you also have to create? Have a salesman standing there in the metaverse telling you about the product? Or is it just a standard 2d listing but you need a headset and controllers to access it? It’s all just harder. Not an improvement.
Bezos created a brand new business that sold the technology and services that his store had been using, realizing lots of other companies would benefit from that technology and pay for it. AWS has grown into its own ecosphere, completely separate from Amazon itself.
Meta is trying to sell another place to hang out with people you’re not willing to actually hang out with in real life. We already reached max desire for that. It’s Facebook 4.0, now with motion sickness. He doesn’t have a new idea or product. He’s actually doing what the article wished Bezos had done.
The difference was that AWS was selling the infrastructure that was already in use at Amazon as a service.
It was about maximizing ROCI – not dumping billions into something people actually hate.
It could be major wallstreet players selling high via company’s stock-buyback to then later, buy back in when it’s low as now possibly being set by macroeconomic & geopolitical trends
More like they’re doing the same thing to Cohen. Zucks metaverse will be a failure. That boy can’t create anything and nobody is selling him that shit.
The original book where the term ‘Metaverse’ emerged, was a cyperpunk dystopia. No matter how bad things in real life are, you need to be extra desperade and socially awkward to live like this.
Also VR and virtual worlds are nothing new. I don’t see in what way this is considered ‘innovation’.
So now every idea that everyone agrees sucks is actually great. This will significantly improve the odds of my ideas getting funding. Thank you?
If Zuckerberg didn’t track every detail and sell others info so cheap, people might trust him. I don’t dislike the concept of the metaverse. Not a chance in hell I’ll play in any version zuck is involved in
Maybe the Zuck could save some costs running his stuff on AWS and make 2 groups of shareholders happy.
The two situations are totally different. We are talking about cloud service back in 2006. Who the fuck needs Meta? Tell me?
I also keep pictures of when I had hair.
>Jeff Bezos is a genius. He saw the potential of the internet and created Amazon, which is now one of the most successful companies in the world. Wall Street may have been skeptical of his vision at first, but he proved them wrong and made billions of dollars for himself and his shareholders.
I am still of the opinion that “Meta” was just a dodge for all the scrutiny Facebook was/is going through. The metaverse could very well be one of the next big things, but Zuckerberg might not be the face of that
Maybe he’s doing this because he’s tired of the governments large social media presence and all the court appearances etc and figures if he just makes one giant video game with childish Nintendo Wii graphics that requires a headset that maybe it wouldn’t be as appealing or easy to access for boomers as Facebook is now
Except the metaverse is absolutely useless.
not really, its not the same.
Facebook, instagram and other meta services/apps are losing users daily.
Theres other apps that offer better services now than these, life has cycles and so do companies and web services, before facebook there was hi5 and myspace and both died and ended.
So theres no guarantee that meta will be here forever.
Meta is going down and very fast it migth be on the end of its life cycle.
I always hear invest in the things people are afraid of and the meta verse does sound corny af but maybe it’s just ahead of it’s time? Maybe Meta is at a great deal rn for long term run…
It’s gonna be cool when tech stocks are more independent. Or at least when the market realizes how awesome AMZN and GOOG are vs what a shit pile META is.
Maybe AAPL is the point man…
AWS is the GOAT cloud service. Azure and Google suck. I said what I said.
Actually with porn, the metaverse can actually work big time, problem is, it will take many years of losses first, and there is no guarantee, they just have a big lead
The metaverse just feels like putting an extra layer of shoes on to go for a walk. I don’t have to do anything to the plane of reality I exist in. Why would I use a virtual one to do things I can already do without a funny hat or glasses?
I think if you made a sleeping bag with all the sensory creators in it to mimick seeing a band live, getting hugged, or going to Mars for the aforementioned walk, you might have something. But even then, I think it’s only going to work for people that can’t experience those situations (disabled, fear of flying) or situations that can’t be experienced (flying to Mars for a walk).
Who knows… I’m sure gen x was asking my millennials can’t meet up at the car instead of using a chatroom or watch TV instead of YouTube. I just know I’m out.
Cuck the Zuck, I bought more AMZN off my gains on those META 110P sucks to suck Zuck
Same could be said about Tesla FSD
What’s up with the hair?
the metaverse is a real shit, it ll never work.
facebook worked well for some time because people love to show off and it leverages on these mean instincts.
Hair growth should be a bigger business.
They are not
Just like anything risky – you’re a genius if it works out and an idiot if it doesn’t
Bozo didn’t bet the farm on AWS.
Nope
20 bucks says OP is zuckerbergs burner account
Wait, is Amazon’s logo inspired by Bezos’ smirk? That makes so much more sense
Ah yes, 2006 Bezos, transitioning well into De. Evil there
Kick their AWS b boy.
Nah. Facebook is going down the tube after being a big company for years. Amazon was up and coming and a not well known force back then. Very diffferent.
