    Meta had a metaverse for work?

    I don't understand the hate for Meta's attempt at the metaverse.

    Since when do we criticize companies for actually doing R&D? We should be striving to build novel technologies, not just maintaining the status quo.

    Even if the project 'failed' for now, the engineering lessons learned are valuable assets that will transfer to whatever problem those teams solve next (whether at Meta or elsewhere).

      It was a very poor implementation of a terrible idea that cannibalized several potentially promising companies.

        Were these cannibalized companies working on an implementation that is not a terrible idea? I'd go as far as saying that it was a decent enough idea that we can applaud the efforts while also rooting for the 'underdogs'.
