I think a lot of his decisions can be boiled down to being hellbent on disrupting Apple.
I think the metaverse was his first crack at it until Wall Street gave him the hook for over spending.
Then when AI came around he again became fixated on the meta verse but using AI as the means of generating content for it.
I think these are all moon shot bets and meta still has no track record of success in hardware despite multiple attempts.
It seems that the next great hardware platform is probably a long ways away and will require some breakthrough that hasn’t happened yet and likely to come from a person with maniacal focus on a single application because that seems to have been the pattern in the past.
In other words I think it’s highly unlikely a current incumbent fosters the next hardware platform. I remember a time not so long ago when a lot of smart people were saying that Alexa was going to disrupt everything as we know it.
Also this AI shit on Facebook these days just seems really weird. But maybe there’s a vision of the future that suddenly makes it’s indispensable. Who knows?
