Meta's metaverse experiment isn't off to a promising start, with plenty of recent warning signs. But so far, the overall experience of being in Meta's metaverse is lacking — for both the public and even those within the company. So, Meta's metaverse experiment is not exactly off to a promising start. "Why don't we love the product we've built so much that we use it all the time," the company's Metaverse VP Vishal Shah wrote in the memo, according to The Verge. Some other good questions: How many more warning signs does Zuckerberg need to see?
☆ Facebook's 'desperate' metaverse push to build features like avatar legs has Wall Street questioning the company's future

Mark Zuckerberg made another pitch for his metaverse this week, failing to placate investors. One analyst called it a "desperate" and likely doomed attempt by the company to reinvent itself. But Neil Campling, an analyst and head of research at Mirabaud, summed it up in one word: "desperate." And the Quest Pro, while much more expensive than Quest 2, is "a very fine piece of engineering," he said. Some on Wall Street are also willing to give Facebook more of a chance to prove itself, despite the costs.

☆ Mark Zuckerberg is making a classic big Silicon Valley mistake — one we last saw made by Marissa Mayer at Yahoo

Mark Zuckerberg is making the same mistakes that plagued former Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer. Zuckerberg, too, is making a big bet on the metaverse, one better suited for the venture capital world. As Meta shifts to become "a metaverse company" amid stalling user growth and slowing ad sales, stories are emerging about the growing pains that have arrived alongside the changes. Zuckerberg's metaverse play isn't unusual in the tech world, it's just not one we've often seen pay off outside the world of venture capital. Marissa Mayer also had an ambitious vision — and it didn't pay offFormer Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer.

Alec Baldwin settled a lawsuit filed by loved ones of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, who was killed on the set of his movie "Rust" last year, representatives from both sides of the civil action said Wednesday. Other parties still face civil, criminal penaltiesThe movie set's armorer, Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, was also named as a defendant in the estate's lawsuit. "She is too traumatized to return to that set, because Mamie was standing next to Halyna Hutchins when Halyna was shot and killed," Mitchell's lawyer Gloria Allred said in a statement. She is very happy that Halyna's son and family have reached a settlement that they believe is fair to them. However, Mamie will continue her pursuit of justice in her civil case, and she will also be willing to testify in a criminal case if one is filed."

In the annals of hype about things that don’t yet exist, the metaverse has enjoyed an impressive rocketlike trajectory. Other tech giants, including Microsoft and Nvidia, are also pivoting to the metaverse. In the mid-20th century, “metaverse” was an obscure synonym for metapoetry, or poetry about poetry. Mr. Stephenson’s readers have wanted to go to the metaverse ever since. John Carmack, the lead developer of the first-person-shooter game “Doom,” once said it was a moral imperative to build the metaverse.
