Meta is only worth $1.5trillion so it doesn’t make any difference.

There are also lots of games that use .NET.

People stupid enough to buy smart glasses from META, are probably also stupid enough to pay a monthly fee.
I think META should make an advertising subscription, where users pay extra to have advertisements shown at intervals too.
I bet a pretty decent percentage of users would pay for that.

Yes it did so 10m years ago, and you are in it now! Pretty amazing isn’t it. 🤣🤣🤣

Pouring half a trillion dollars into a wishing well, doesn’t make it work.
The guy is high on his own supply, he thought if he just threw enough Nvidia AI chips into an LLM, that it would achieve consciousness!

So he can argue that things aren’t going as he hoped they would, but that will probably not happen anytime soon, and he will probably waste even more money and another decade chasing this delusion, just like he did with the Metaverse that was supposed to be “the next internet”!!

Even if this dream of his is within reach in a not so distant future. Meta is unlikely to be the ones that succeed, because Zuckerberg is the top project leader, and he simply has no idea what he is dealing with.

I finally got the context, and it’s no wonder that shit was vandalized. I don’t see a reality where it wouldn’t be.
Even here in Denmark that shit would probably not last long, and we are famous for NOT doing that.
If you want, see my post you responded to, I’ve included the details there.

Apparently the “service” is only available for over 16 year olds.
This is so badly executed it’s no wonder people got pissed.

Me: Making a point.

You: Whuaah Whuaah

Now we’re done.

Thanks. 👍

Big fail, no wonder that shit was sabotaged.

No. Applying human emotions, traits, or intentions to non-human entities is called anthropomorphism.
It is rarely done regarding Zuckerberg, because he has very few aspects to anthropomorphize on.
But it makes the story more intersting when they can.

The revelation is bound to sting. Despite committing over half a trillion dollars over the next two years, the company’s flailing AI efforts have been plagued by rock bottom morale, infighting, high-level executive departures, and related PR crises.

No wonder everything is shit, when Zuckerberg was convinced that building a big enough LLM he would achieve strong AI! 🤣 🤣
AFAIK Meta had some of the biggest investments just a couple of years ago in AI on that basis! 🤥 🤡

Ah well, Zuckerberg may be stupid, but he will not suffer much, Facebook is still a money machine, and META can afford the losses, just as they could afford the losses on the Metaverse.

It’s worse for OpenAI, Palantir and SpaceX with XAI, because they don’t have a money machine to save them when the AI business fails.

Google, Microsoft and Meta (facebook) will be OK.

Seems to me the city did something for show that doesn’t work, and might as well no be there.
As I sted before, the poles and trashcan are not vandalized, it seem like these “lockers” were clearly targeted, probably because it’s a shit system for the people it was supposed to benefit.
Hopefully after this, the city will stop wasting money on a system that doesn’t work anyway.

“Some of you” are not Americans in general, as in the majority.
I also wonder why you feel personally attacked if you are not in the group I described?

Thanks, I was not aware that clicking the thumbnail revealed a lot more detail. 😳
But it seems to me this “system” is pissing some people off, because the vandalism is only on the “lockers without locks” whatever that is called. And not on the poles or the trashcan?

public equipment lockers

I don’t get it, why would such lockers be labeled “Jumpstart bon depart” and Equip at the bottom?
Looks more like some private thing, taking up public space.
IDK, I’m just trying to evaluate if this is just mindless vandalism, or if there could be a reason behind it.
The pole itself is not vandalized and seemingly neither is the trashcan behind.

Context?

Edit:
BrrdShrrmp@lemmy.ca was kind enough to provide the context:

https://www.mississauga.ca/events-and-attractions/parks/borrow-sports-equipment-in-parks/

You must be at least 16 years old to join Equip Sport.

Also it requires an app, and it has the following text too:

If you don’t return equipment, the email address associated with the session will no longer have access.

This is just about as shitty a free service can be, strict limitations and harsh punishments. A ball can get lost, and if that happens, you’re out.
No wonder that shit was vandalized. IMO they were too soft on it.

No really, Americans are not even trying to build a better civilization, they are doing the opposite.
Building and improving civilization is a very well defined goal, of respecting human rights, respecting minorities and building a well functioning democracy and society.
Americans are doing none of that.

Your failure to understand this, and failure to identify the problems and possible solutions is part of the problem.
The flock camera is not the problem but a symptom, and the problem is forgotten when the symptom is debated.
Americans claim individuality and personal freedom, but few developed countries have such disregard and lack of protection for the individual USA has.
Instead USA has freedom for the cooperations and agencies to fuck individuals over as they like.

Edit:
Funny how this is downvoted, despite it’s obviously true, the American society has clearly degraded for the past 9 years.
And a couple of decades before that it wasn’t progressing as a civilized society like other developed countries either.

Thanks, That seems like the obvious explanation. 👍

IDK this seems fake to me?

I don’t think so, you don’t seem to be.
