AI infrastructure will provides Meta with a “strategic advantage,” Zuckerberg said. He once said almost the exact same thing about the metaverse.

    Zuckerberg finally got tired of the METAverse being useless and going nowhere.
    But he still thinks he is some sort of visionary tech genius. And he wants to capture the next big thing before anybody else.
    If he were smart he would have realized the metaverse was a stupid idea years ago. But unfortunately for him he is not very smart, he was just lucky and ruthless with facebook, and now he has become a megalomaniac drunk with the power of his billions.
    It is only months ago he thought he could create strong AI by building a massive LLM thinking strong AI would be an emerging property of massively concentrated stupidity. I think he at least has realized that is not the case.
