I Can't Think Of A Good Title For This Lunacy
So Meta dropped $73 billion on their metaverse project, and what do they have to show for it? A bunch of legless avatars sitting in a virtual conference room having a Zoom call. You know, the thing we could already do with a $15 webcam and free software. The irony is absolutely chef's kiss here. They built an entire virtual reality universe with cutting-edge VR headsets, spatial audio, and god knows what else... just to recreate the exact same grid-view meeting experience we've all been suffering through since 2020. It's like buying a Ferrari to drive to your mailbox. The real kicker? Those avatars are sitting in a gorgeous virtual office with mountain views while displaying a 2x2 video grid on a screen. They literally went full circle back to regular video conferencing, but now with extra steps and motion sickness. Peak innovation right there.

Zuckerberg Be Like
The guy who built an empire on addictive dopamine-driven feeds and infinite scroll mechanics doesn't even use his own products. There's Zuck casually strolling through a room full of people strapped into VR headsets like he's Neo walking through the Matrix, except everyone else is stuck in his simulation while he's out here breathing real air. It's the ultimate tech irony: create something so immersive that people can't look away, then personally avoid it like you know something they don't. Spoiler alert: he does. Same energy as tobacco executives who don't smoke or fast food CEOs with personal chefs. Build the metaverse, live in reality. Classic move.

Remember The Metaverse Hype
The tech industry's attention span in one image. Remember when everyone was frantically building metaverse platforms? Yeah, me neither. Now it's all AI this, AI that, while metaverse sits in the corner wondering where all its venture capital went. The tech world just ghosted an entire digital universe for a chatbot that occasionally hallucinates facts about Napoleon. Silicon Valley relationships are more fickle than npm dependencies.

How To Spend $13 Billion To Create The Sims 3?
Meta spent $13 billion on their "Horizon" metaverse and all they got was avatars that look like they were rendered on a potato. "Legs are coming soon!" is the kind of feature announcement you'd expect from a game in 2003, not something that cost twice Electronic Arts' annual revenue. At this rate, Mark's going to need another $50 billion just to add eyebrows that don't look haunted. Meanwhile, The Sims 3 from 2009 is over here with fully functioning humans that can already woohoo in hot tubs.
