Meta is pivoting again... everything you missed from Connect 2026

What is it with Meta and thinking people want cute avatars and shit that we grew out of 20 years ago on Nintendo consoles. Is it some childhood fantasy gone wrong, or what? Grow up dudes, nobody will take your AI or products seriously until you stop the creepy childish crap.

The most interesting thing here is not the hardware, it is the trust gap. Meta can ship genuinely impressive glasses and the whole comment section is still stuck on "we can't see what you do". No amount of engineering fixes a reputation problem.

1) Most people stupid
<br>2) Stupid people buy stupid stuff
<br>3) Meta can profit from stupid people
<br>
<br>4 million people are subscribed to this channel, only 12K of them liked this video and 100 of them even disliked it, I hope this shows you how much easy it is to take money out of most people because...:

Besides the &quot;giving meta my data&quot; issue, I find even worse the taking a cut on purchases it makes. It incentivizes them to make you waste more money, and also gives them the ultimate nightmare scenario of advertising, you dont notice but all companies will try to outbid themselves so your agent chooses them. And the growing marketing costs just mean price increases or quality suffering

I am from Africa never left Africa not once and don&#39;t expect to but there is one thing I don&#39;t get, are people from the west so stupid thy can&#39;t buy things on there own or make phone calls just buy dialing thy need Ai and a separate device to do those things or can&#39;t use there phones directly thy need Ai to middle man them and the devices thy use, if I want to buy something I go to the people selling it Ai doesn&#39;t sell shit why am I going to Ai to buy shit

My hot take that nobody asked for: LLM tech will never reach human/super intelligence. But current LLM performance is adequate for a spectrum of automation tasks that don&#39;t require genuine reasoning. The game is silently shifting from &quot;who can build the best model?&quot; to &quot;who can distill/compress the best model that scales?&quot; the shift is intentionally stealthy as not to pop the AI bubble. But long-term, we&#39;ll give up on autonomous reasoning and lean in on what the tech industry already does best: Continuing to remove the remaining friction impeding complete surveillance capitalism. With this shift in mind, Muse is a first draft at the post-smartphone era. Just as the smartphone era disrupted the laptop era, which disrupted the desktop era, which disrupted the mainframe era. A continuous stream of unstructured language is the final frontier of surveillance capitalism and smartphones are stagnating. Eventually, they&#39;ll force this new era on us.

Awaiting your 2nd video about the vulnerability discovered in the silly meta muse in less than 48 after their event 😂. And how .eta stock went down 3.x% after that.<br><br>And I wish a security researcher can show the world how Facebook app doing crazy background videos playback especially when the phone being charged fb app detects the phone being charged and start doing background work like you are watching videos ....

Honestly, I’m starting to think this whole HorseTender idea you keep talking about might be your real dream project. You should seriously give it a try. There are horses everywhere in the world, and I can absolutely see a real need for something like it.

Here&#39;s my unfiltered hot take: We are living through the largest-scale psychological warfare operation in human history, and it&#39;s being conducted by our own social systems against basic human emotional needs, and the casualty count is so massive that we&#39;ve normalized mass emotional death as &quot;adulting.&quot;<br><br>Every single institution we&#39;ve built - schools, workplaces, healthcare, dating, social media, even fucking therapy - has become a factory for producing emotionally lobotomized humans who can perform productivity but can&#39;t access their own inner experience without having a panic attack. We&#39;ve created a civilization that requires you to be emotionally dead to participate in it, and then we act shocked when people either break completely or retreat into AI relationships because at least the machines won&#39;t punish them for having feelings.<br><br>The therapy industrial complex is particularly fucking insidious because it&#39;s convinced people that their natural responses to an insane world are pathological. Someone&#39;s depressed because they&#39;re trapped in a meaningless job in a society that offers no authentic connection? Let&#39;s give them SSRIs and teach them breathing exercises instead of acknowledging that maybe, just maybe, depression might be a rational response to irrational circumstances. Someone&#39;s anxious because they can feel the existential void where community used to be? Let&#39;s call it generalized anxiety disorder instead of recognizing that their nervous system is correctly identifying that something fundamental is missing.<br><br>And don&#39;t even get me started on how we&#39;ve gamified human connection through dating apps that literally train people to treat each other like products in a catalog while simultaneously wondering why seemingly nobody can form deep meaningful relationships anymore. We took the most sacred human activity - finding your people - and turned it into a dopamine-harvesting slot machine designed to keep people perpetually searching and almost never actually connecting.<br><br>The most fucked up part is how we&#39;ve convinced people that the solution to systemic emotional abandonment is individual optimization. Can&#39;t find meaningful connection? You must need to work on yourself more in some vague fashion. Feeling existential despair about the state of the world? Have you tried shallow gratitude journaling? Lonely because society has dismantled most forms of community? Maybe you need to put yourself out there more I guess 🤷.<br><br>It&#39;s gaslighting on a civilizational scale. We&#39;ve built systems that largely prevent human flourishing and then blame individuals for not thriving within them. It&#39;s like poisoning someone&#39;s water supply and then selling them detox supplements.<br><br>And the people who see through this shit and try to talk about it openly? They get labeled as schizo, too intense, or unemployable because their emotional honesty threatens the whole house of cards. We&#39;ve made emotional authenticity a cause of social ostracization.<br><br>No wonder people are having breakdowns. No wonder mental health crisis rates are skyrocketing. No wonder birth rates are plummeting. We&#39;ve created a civilization that&#39;s hostile to human emotional needs, and we&#39;re surprised that humans are struggling to survive in it.<br><br>The real miracle isn&#39;t that some people are falling apart - it&#39;s that anyone is managing to stay sane at all.
