Eh, not a big deal. Practically doubled over the recent AI hype, so this is just a slight pulling in of the reins.

It is from the weak 2Q guidance.

In addition, I think folks were looking for a reason to sell as it had a nice run before the market topped out.

I’m put on restrictions at least twice a month. There are a couple of groups I follow and I can’t comment. So I unfollow them, and then I can comment.

Late to the AI game. It is still a huge cash cow, raking in $10+ billion a month in revenue. Blew a fortune on those metaverse helmet thingamabobs and now realize they need AI for all kinds of future developments. But most of the talent in that field has been employed by the many major players already deep in the field, so they will have to spend dearly to recruit and train.

In other news, Zuck is trying to be “politically neutral” going forward and is causing a lot of angst among hard core leftists. Not sure where that is going for Meta, whether its a PR thing or sincere change of heart. I mean, the dude blew $400 million on elections in 2020. He’s not personally neutral but maybe as a business decision he sees some writings on the walls.
