Mark Zuckerberg Meta AI evolution

by Vojtech: Mark Zuckerberg

Mark Zuckerberg started by building a dorm website just to rate faces, and people initially dismissed it as a toy before it became the largest social network globally. When the company bet everything on the metaverse in 2021 and rebranded to Meta, the stock price dropped significantly while avatar legs turned into internet memes. Despite the criticism, development continued quietly until Ray-Ban glasses were released and sold in millions. The timeline for 2026 shifts strategy entirely: instead of selling glasses, the plan involves connecting devices and offering wearable AI where Product Gen 3 is camera-free audio and Product Muse is a pendant containing AI. Over 100 frames are expected by the end of the year. While phones caused people to look down, this next device is intended to make them look up. It is a strange pivot where the founder who once rated faces now places AI on everyone's face.
