The argument seems to be that Metaverse was a flop and FB did bad stuff, therefore AI will be a flop.

That's certainly ... words.

There's a big difference between things like Metaverse, social media and AI. The former are mainly entertainment/communication products that rely on network effects, so if people don't like them they're bust. AI is a capital good so it doesn't need to be popular as long as it does profitable work

> The future that the vast majority of people want – for themselves, for their children – is not one in which we can only afford to buy digital replicas of products and digital real estate

Sure. Everybody wants real things. Nobody wants to work in factory assembly lines or construction sites. But it must be AI's fault.
