Last time I commented on Zuck on HN I got a warning. That said, this stuff confirms for the 100th time that he is out of touch with reality. Perhaps that’s why he wanted to make VR work so badly. I think he might try to change Co’s name again since Meta doesn’t fit the bill anymore. How about they buy Intel and reverse merge just for the name?

He needs to keep investors optimistic about Meta. Moonshot projects, fairy tales work if there is nothing else. Musk uses them too when promotes Tesla.
I've only read about his remarks and it already feels like his taking a leaf from the Elon Musk keep investors hyped playbook.

If so, the logical choice would be to change the name from "Meta" to "AGI".

I was thinking they buy Intel and say “we are going to make Intel super. SuperIntel.” Zuck seems to like the term superintelligence over AGI.
They’re two separate concepts
this would be then "Mintel" :-D
