Are we already calling it 'Meta' unironically?
4 comments

No one should ever call that thing Meta. We have to draw the line somewhere. Facebook needs to be gratuitously dead named.
To be fair, people who work on supercompilers have been in the meta space long before it was ironic.
Supercompilation has also been known as metacompilation for decades.
In this case by Meta I think they mean Facebook. Name change today in case you missed thar.
Whom? Metaface?
