Love how half his face and such are covered by legal blurbs you need to 'accept'. Call me cynical John, but unless you are ready and willing to explain technically why Meta has dropped the value of so many funds and retirement plans, and also the ball so hard on VR, AR, and come clean about the metaverse being a total marketing ploy to manipulate more money out of the gullible hordes to sell ads: Don't bother.

Virtual billboards anyone? Really, John. Do us a favor and tell the truth about your technology and the goals of your bland, non-relatable team that makes you fill out a W9. I mean, spying on citizens, being a blight on society, contributing to child suicides, playing both sides of the publish or perish card, et al.

You are the chief TECHNOLOGY officer above all (contractor or not), right? I am not sure you will reply, but I hope you read this and focus on the technology. It would be nice to publish your slides before the 'unscripted' talk.

Or just leave Meta after this talk.

I really hope Carmack decides to come back to reality from this metaverse vapourware Meta has trapped him in.

Carmack, you've already raised money for your other new company, please leave Meta and just let it die.
