Any best on if they will just re-release this under the radar once the press attention dies down? Zuck isn't spending billions to just not release this stuff.

Even after making insane capex moves, Meta has always remained profitable through it. In fact, Meta has never reported a quarter loss since going public.

They literally can burn billions and be okay with it. This feature wasn't worth the billions though, the underlying ai tech was which will ofc be repurposed and is used elsewhere also

> Zuck isn't spending billions to just not release this stuff. Well uh.. what happened to his metaverse?
I mean the feature is "you can tag another users handle to base images on them", that doesn't seem like core functionality?
It would be if it suddenly became popular and they could show more ads to people for using it.
