Is Meta just operating in hope and AI moonshots now ?

Everyone one of their products is just garbage to me and becoming less relevant by the day. When do they actually starting building something useful again ?

Honestly Apple seems to be using “AI” much more successfully and actually seamlessly integrating it into their existing products to improve them.

My theory is Mark is hoping the meta verse will pop out if Yan’s bottom at some stage. Maybe he is right? I just can’t for the life of my understand why the current products are just so so neglected?




Meta products have more users than ever


Doesn’t prove much honestly. How do you even know those users are real ? What value are the products providing ?

My Apple products continue to improve my day to day immensely. The meta products are just rubbish on the whole. How has Instagram improved in the last 5 years ?


I'm no fan of Meta but I'm glad there are companies investing in big moonshots like AI and yes, even Metaverse.


The anecdotal fallacy


[flagged]


Voice commands being usable is the one thing I miss from having an Android phone.


I think he’s talking about the new iOS feature that allows your text to be read in your own voice model.


Do you use an iPhone ? They do pretty amazing things with images now. Even the search for a photo by text is quite amazing. I used it the other day for work for the first time and I found what I needed in my tens of thousands of photos. It almost truly felt like an extension of my memory, it was actually a pretty cool feeling.

So sorry I don’t buy the Siri attack as being proof of anything. I have found Siri has improved a lot. Even the speed at which Siri works is much faster. The other day I was driving in a really loud old car and used my Apple watch to change the music, I said to myself “there’s no way Siri will get it”, and it did.

I also trust Apple with my data, at least for now. I don’t even slightly trust Meta at all. I found Zuckerbergs interview on Lex Friedman more scary than before as he said all the same freaky stuff disguised by a more “cool” and polished facade. The same dystopian ideas are still there.
