It must be strange to spend your entire career becoming incredibly wealthy making society objectively worse. Your ideas and actions are provably evil (or at least stunningly irresponsible), and for that, the world gives you everything.
Why ever get better? Why not conspire with the rest in your class to keep ruining the world? You started your professional life already morally bankrupt, so what reckoning could possibly sway you? You'll never be happy, because you're too rich to leave your fortified compounds and contexts ever again. The people you know are all conniving, hollow shells just like you, and you're all so dissociated, you have nothing to talk about besides how your evil's going.
This doesn't forgive the state of the Zucks and Musks and Trumps and Theils, but it does make this problem harder to solve. There are more hollow little shits born into privilege every day, and these fools' paths to "glory" are all common knowledge and easy to ape with enough resources.
For two decades, Meta’s products have been at the center of what people do online. But Meta now finds itself besieged on all sides. Lawsuits have piled up as regulators turn on social media. A push into smart glasses has triggered a mountain of negative press and backlash — including the pejorative moniker “pervert glasses.” The company remains firmly behind in the AI race. Public perception of Zuckerberg himself has curdled.
Yet Meta is far from finished. It maintains a growing, highly profitable social media business. It’s dominant in AI-powered smart glasses, what many tech leaders consider the next mobile computing platform. It’s defused potential regulatory threats. And its latest platform, a “personal AI agent” dubbed Muse, was released in early September, giving Zuckerberg his next metaverse-like project.
Muse is Zuckerberg’s latest bid to reinvent the company. Early numbers for Muse are promising; an Apptopia estimate this week indicates it’s got over 600,000 daily active users in the US, shooting it to the top of the iOS App Store charts. Yet the question remains: Can a company synonymous with safety and privacy debacles become the AI-powered voice in everyone’s ear?

the verge is posting its own links on reddit? Isn't that self-promotion?
This post is also violating the submission statement rule, because they were so lazy they just copied the article text for their submission statement

Half the posts on this sub are now posted by the news site themselves. It's pretty shit but the mods stopped caring I guess.

You think the Reddit mod bot isn’t programmed to let the verge bot do what it wants?

Official bots or accounts can post a certain amount of posts per day or week.

Listen bro, the stock went up and the verge is being paid by someone to put some pieces out and spread them so they can move the stock price back down
