From the outside looking in, I don't think Meta has a clear vision. I think it's a stretch to say that this one announcement makes it clear. There are AI announcements from Meta every month, recent ones more focused on coding (Muse Spark/Muse Code) Their ads team wants AI to improve their targeting and ad creation. Some want to have frontier AI including coding. Others might want personal AI agent. Then there's the f…

What’s Meta’s moat? Content and doom scrolling… I would say they should put ALL their focus on Next Generation content generation… I honestly think in the ~10 years we’re going to see cinema completely flip from high budget blockbusters to way cheaper, personalised “Choose Your Own Adventure” content but where the story changes/rewrites itself in realtime based on constant user feedback (thumbs up from popups mid mov…

I read this take on hacker news all the time, but what indication do you have that this would be popular ?

All the streaming giants had ample budget and engineering talent to make interactive fiction happen, but didn’t, presumably because they know a) not everybody is creative that way and b) a big part of culture is that you can discuss it with others, which doesn’t work for personalised works.

People are generally bad with acronyms. For the longest time I used to refer to San Francisco as SFO. On my first visit to Bay Area, I was talking to a local friend and casually said - last weekend, I went to SFO for sightseeing. He was confused and asked why I was sightseeing at the airport. That’s when I realized it’s SF not SFO.

Both are wrong. It's called "the city".

what about San Fran?

I can only imagine you have no kids, serve on no boards, do not volunteer, and play no sports.

The average person is not serving on a board and is definitely not volunteering. Sports communications at most travel/rec leagues is via group chat / Whatsapp / FB group.

First of all, the average parent is definitely doing some volunteering, at least in the US. From rec sports to scouts to church stuff to local committees, it's very rare for someone to be totally checked-out on all those counts.

And as a bit of anectata: I play two sports and my child plays multiple. Every single one of those groups or teams relies on email, even when other modes of communication are layered on.
