🎙️ EP 184: Meta Just Gave Up on the Metaverse… and Bet $72B on AI Instead
Published 1Â month, 3Â weeks ago
Description
Zuck just pulled the plug on his VR dream, shutting down studios, firing 1,500 people, and quietly turning Horizon Worlds into a mobile Roblox copy. But at the same time, Meta’s smartglasses are exploding in sales, and its next-gen AI model is weeks away.
We’ll talk about:
- Why Meta’s Reality Labs got gutted and what Zuck is really betting on now
- Google’s huge medical AI update (MedGemma 1.5 + MedASR) and what makes it different
- Veo 3.1’s new vertical video & character upgrades, finally usable for creators
- A wild legal mess: Grok’s “spicy mode” under AG investigation, while it’s being deployed in the Pentagon
Keywords: Meta layoffs, MedGemma 1.5, AI smartglasses, Veo 3.1, Slackbot AI, Skild AI
