Meta Platforms

Breaking News: Meta created flirty chatbots of Taylor Swift and other celebrities without their permission. Honestly not even the slightest bit surprised at this. There simply is no low too low for Meta to stoop to. https://www.reuters.com/business/meta-creat...

Meta becomes the first company to hit the brake on the absurd AI hiring spree. This is largely due to their acquisition of ScaleAI, where they now need to figure out what to do with a bunch of AI engineers. I'm sure those $100 million offers will be back on the table before long. https://www.cnbc.com/2025/08/21/meta-brakes...

Interesting to put into perspective how little most people understand about the major multi-trillion dollar companies that pervade their lives actually operate. Not realizing Meta generates nearly 100% of its revenue through advertising is quite something. https://old.reddit.com/r/stocks/comments/1m...

Jesus, Zuckerberg at Meta is offering $100,000,000 to poach employees from OpenAI. This bubble cannot pop soon enough. Also, where do I sign up? https://www.cnn.com/2025/06/18/tech/meta-op...

Meta smart glasses coming to Oakley and Prada. To be honest some heads up display sunglasses for cycling could be useful. All the stuff you get on a Garmin/Wahoo but without the computer now and instead right in your normal field of view. Doesn't seem like this iteration actually includes any AR features though, just more camera features like in the existing glasses. https://www.cnbc.com/2025/06/17/meta-oakley...

It's finally happening - Meta is bringing ads into WhatsApp. https://www.cnn.com/2025/06/16/business/tru... The enshittification of WhatsApp was only a matter of time since its purchase by Facebook back in 2014 for $19 billion dollars. Actually the most interesting part about this is Zuckerberg calling WhatsApp "the next chapter" in Meta's history. This being in light of the > $100 billion spent on Metaverse and AI initiatives that have been all over the web.

42 state attorneys general are calling on Meta/Facebook to put an end to the rise of investment scams apparent on the site. Apparently retail investors are falling for these scams at an alarming rate, losing millions in the process. https://www.cnbc.com/2025/06/11/state-ags-m...

Hell must be freezing. https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/instag... Instagram is releasing an App for the iPad later this year, as it is currently in "active testing" by employees. I don't personally use any Facebook/Meta products anymore, but I legit remember this being an annoyance all the way back in 2011. I had a smartphone but I preferred using my 3rd generation iPad for just about everything because it was so far ahead of any other technology. But Instagram would only load as an iPhone app with all the incorrect sizing and whatnot. Incredible it's now 2025 and Facebook is just now getting around to producing a native iPad app. Think of all the businesses that use Instagram these days to get work done - whether for reaching out to customers or even dealing with customer support through DMs. And they have been forced to do all that on a tiny phone screen all this time.

Anyone notice the Zuck is still driving bulldozers of cash into the Metaverse? Coming up on $70 spent on a dumb idea literally nobody was asking for.
