Shouldn’ta kicked me off.
"Meta! It's beautiful! AIIIIEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!"
Couldn’t happen to a better quasi-human reptilian humanoid.
Or something.
Well I still have my cringe email address from AOL. I’m just too lazy to move to another woke or non woke address. I never use AOL for anything else and if they go under I will be forced to get another address but they ain’t dead yet.
they kicked me off because I wouldn’t give them my cell number ...
TikTok was annihilating META in users and quality of the algorithm and compensation for creators. So he ran to Congress screaming China and took down a competitor. But that was a dying gasp of META.
He also did a lot of damage by becoming a big time censorship leader and partner of the FBI.
All that left for him were geezers showing vacation pictures and meals. And now it’s flooded with morality fables and AI created fictional content.
Pretty much it died because Zuck is a mental case and it took on his personality.
MySpace says, “Welcome to my world!”
What is it?
Meta is Facebook?
> Facebook feels like an infinite timeline of AI slop… <
That’s not wrong. A good number of videos there now - maybe a third to a half - are deceiving AI videos just designed to gather clicks.
And what’s worse, many of those AI videos are spreading dangerous misinformation. I recall one that showed a child walking up to, and then petting, a wild baby bear.
It sure looked real. But actually try it, and mama bear would tear you apart.
Yes, Meta is the parent company of FB.
I’m annoyed by companies which use Fakebook as their primary customer access. I don’t have an account so I can’t see their info. Anymore, that’s like a company that will only publish its phone number in the yellow pages.
It served its purpose for stupid people to volunteer all their info to the CIA and FBI. They have other ways to get us now.
The VR world with late 90s graphics didn’t save the company?
I still have my aol email account and my kids are embarrassed for me but I really couldn’t care less. The other day a kid doing some work for me had never heard of aol. What’s that? he said. That’s a new one. Never heard of it. 🤣
It’s hard to believe anyone took a look at the deserted wreck of Second Life and thought to himself “this is something I want to spend billions of dollars bringing back to life, only this time with ridiculous VR headsets”.
LOL Yeah a good number are now in that never heard of it category which gives it a mystery aura to it.
Same here. "Follow us on Facebook," uh, no.
All the social media sites are garbage. I think people are finally reaching peak garbage and are turning it off. I don’t even see as many kids with their noses in this junk anymore.
