does anyone get the feeling that this also reeks a little bit of desperation? like millionaire and billionaire are promising ever-more implausible technologies that just seem decades out of reach at best in order to cling onto investors? i mean, musk literally promised a final solution to the conflict between workers and capital owners in the form of a robot, and now zuckerburg offers us this shit which looks every bit as unfeasible as a literal autonomous humanoid machines capable of replacing every industrial and service worker.
I mean he could have made-up literally anything else to divert attention from whatever number of congressional probes against facebook that are all going on at once, why this coked-up adolescent fantasy?
It's absolutely aimed at investors, not congressional probes. I mean investors actually have power over them, so that's of course who Zuck and FB are more concerned about.
Approximately everyone who has internet and isn't in China uses an FB-owned social media product. They're out of people, there's no room for growth. The investors need growth because it's capitalism and that's how their class gets paid. So either the company stops giving the investors what they want, and loses all their money. Or they invent a way to get more money from their existing pool of customers, which means they have to invent a reason people spend even more time on their products than they already do on social media.

Crazy that capitalism sometimes just reach the point where profit hits a limit and starts dropping. I wish someone wrote a book about this.
