So...what happened to that whole "Metaverse" thing? Is it time to rename the company again?
Re: Mark Zuckerberg’s new goal is creating artificial general intelligence
#4HN title seems editorialized as compared to the article title ("Meta’s new goal is to build artificial general intelligence" or the article headline is similar but with Mark Zuckerberg as the subject.)
The HN submitted title ("Meta will have a stockpile of almost 600k GPUs by the end of 2024") is one specific sentence in the article.

#5> He tells me that, by the end of this year, Meta will own more than 340,000 of Nvidia’s H100 GPUs
That's approx $15b worth of H100 GPUs.

#6I wonder how many of those chips were acquired to run metaverse stuff. Should be lots of overlap between rendering graphics and running cuda based models.
I'm interested in seeing how the behemoths that are Meta and Google catch openai. I think it's a question of when, not if. Both companies just have a ridiculous amount of resources to throw behind these efforts. At least meta is releasing their stuff as "open source". We'll see how they justify putting out these models for free, or if it's purely about undercutting openai.

Meta's AR/VR strategy is still the over-arching priority and given how well Quest 3 and Ray Bans glasses are doing shows that it is likely the right one. Especially once Apple Vision Pro ignites the industry.
AI will be used to enhance that e.g. generated avatars, autonomous agents, hand/body tracking etc.

#8I’m more bullish on Meta’s AI efforts than OpenAI’s at this point. Everything open source can flow back into what they’re doing, whereas OpenAI seems focused on staying locked down, while diluting their core product in myriad ways.

You are assuming they are paying retail price, which they certainly are not.
