They hit a wall in development.

@passenger @alicemcalicepants *whispers* can you tell me what's going on? I don't get it.

@alicemcalicepants How many nurses etc
How many doctors etc
How many homes etc...These evil cunts throw around sums on their fucking TOYS that would make life so much better for MILLIONS, and yet we permit them to live.

@Iwillyeah @passenger it took them a long time to figure out how to give Metaverse avatars legs 😁 https://gizmodo.com/facebook-quest-world-legs-avatars-mark-zuckerberg-1850787409

Alice is being extremely clever.
The original launch video for Facebook's Metaverse VR idea, the one that led to them renaming themselves Meta, featured people that only existed from the waist up because legs are hard to do in VR.
"It doesn't have legs" is a casual way of saying "the idea didn't work."

I can't wait for the top-tier jokes that will happen when the AI bubble bursts and we will find out how many billions (trillions?) were wasted there.

In what is dramatic about it is that the company suffered no investor anger over it.
Apparently, most of the money just disappeared, and they can’t explain where it went

@alicemcalicepants You could do standup with material this good.

@alicemcalicepants On a serious note, I’m not surprised. My kid saved up his money to buy the headset, but when he wanted to buy a game, there was some issue with his account & he couldn’t purchase it. We tried for days to fix this stupid account problem but never did, so he could only play the free or demo games. He lost interest & Meta lost money.

@thisismissem I think that's part of the appeal! It's a separate service so it naturally gates participants.
On fedi it's more likely you'll encounter drive by criticisms.

"By comparison, data centres consumed 415 TWh in 2024, roughly 1.5% of the world’s total electricity consumption (see ‘Global electricity growth’)."
Electricity accounts for about 1/3 of global GHGs, so data centres are <1% of global GHGs.
"They found that servers for AI accounted for 24% of server electricity demand and 15% of total data centre energy demand in 2024."

@gian_d_gian @cagliari Cosa? 😂

@ben @evan @timbray you can start here to make estimates on bounds: https://www.epa.gov/ghgemissions/inventory-us-greenhouse-gas-emissions-and-sinks

@evan @timbray I’ve started to suspect that every eco-moral-panic around something that isn’t cars/trucks or beef is quietly promoted by big fossil or big ag as a deflection. Remember plastic straws?
-
@timbray computer usage just isn't as carbon intensive a process as driving a car. Even with hundreds of billions being spent on new data centres, it's not a big part of the global emissions profile.

Un numero, a mio parere, spaventoso. E che io 56enne capisco solo superficialmente. In Italia 200mila #hikikomori, impatto maggiore su ragazze tra i 13-15 anni https://www.rainews.it/articoli/2026/03/in-italia-200mila-hikikomori-impatto-maggiore-su-ragazze-tra-i-13-15-anni-la-ricerca-e913dc31-50f6-4d0d-8f2d-46fdf36d91c2.html
