Zuckerberg's Metaverse was ridiculed at the wedding, and Meta turned to artificial intelligence after a huge loss

Bit - A recent report by Bloomberg revealed a small episode behind Meta’s Metaverse failure, reflecting the project’s internal embarrassment. According to the report, in August 2022, when Zuckerberg attended the wedding of his former chief operating officer Sandberg in Wyoming, someone ridiculed him for taking a selfie in the Metaverse, and Zuckerberg acted quite annoyed.

According to multiple sources, Zuckerberg was very unhappy with the ridicule of the guests, and even convinced that the company’s public relations department failed to package the Metaverse as “sexy” enough. After the incident, Meta made a number of internal personnel changes, but in the end it failed to recover the decline. Since then, there have been various indications that the Metaverse project is about to fail. Wall Street is skeptical of huge investments in the space, with experts singing about it, and those who have experienced the Meta Metaverse calling it “desolate, lonely, and expensive.”

In the end, Meta lost $46.5 billion on Zuckerberg’s Metaverse gamble. With the advent of OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Meta has quietly pivoted into the field of artificial intelligence.
