Meta is axing 600 roles across its AI division

VR + AI could actually be kinda fun (I’m sure folks are working on this stuff already!). Solve the problems of not enough VR content and VR content creation tools kind of sucking by having AI fill in the gaps.

But it is just a little toy, Facebook is looking for their next billion dollar idea; that’s not it.

You should read https://www.fimfiction.net/story/62074/friendship-is-optimal.

Even tho the creator says LLMS aren't going in that direction it's a fun read, especially when you're talking about VR + AI.

VR + AI synergies is why meta released their model open source Im guessing. The other big tech companies largely have LLMs as substitutes to their products(google being worried about people using chatgpt instead of traditional search) but for meta their products have incredible synergy with AI.
