Spiegel says he's now "VP Product @ Meta," jabbing at Zuckerberg's imitation strategy
Trolling 101 Snap CEO Evan Spiegel has taken a public jab at Mark Zuckerberg and Meta, updating his LinkedIn profile with an unexpected addition to his job titles. Alongside "loving husband and father of four boys," he now lists himself as "VP Product @ Meta." This tongue-in-cheek update clearly references Meta's history of replicating features that Snapchat first introduced.
A hot potato: Mark Zuckerberg has undergone something of a personal transformation over the last few years, from a nerdy, lizard-like tech geek to an MMA-loving bro championing free speech and calling for more masculine energy. It's a change that has prompted a lawyer to drop Meta as a client due to its CEO's "descent into toxic masculinity and Neo-Nazi madness."
You'll be able to say pretty much whatever you want on Meta's platforms
A hot potato: It seems that Meta is going to become a lot more like X, at least when it comes to what you can say on the company's platforms. CEO Mark Zuckerberg has announced the suspension of the fact-checking program, a reduction in the amount of censorship, and the recommendation of more political content across Facebook, Instagram, and Threads.
Something to look forward to: After spending tens of billions on virtual and augmented reality, Meta aims to position itself as the more accessible alternative to Apple's $3,500 Vision Pro headset and its visionOS. Competing with the Cupertino giant will prove challenging, but opening up the Meta Quest operating system and evolve into an open ecosystem could go a long way toward broadening its appeal.
Zuck also confirmed that Meta is planning to Buy Nvidia's B100 AI accelerators
In a nutshell: Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg recently met up with Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang and shared a photo of the two of them together. The viral Instagram post, which has already received over 170,000 likes, shows the two billionaires wearing each other's jackets.
