Meta Is Recruiting Former Pentagon Officials As It Ramps Up Military Ambitions
Meta’s Military Ambitions Take Shape Under Trump Administration
Meta is courting national security and former Pentagon officials to help sell its virtual reality and AI services to the federal government, Forbes has learned. Multiple former government officials said they were aware of the recruiting efforts.
What fucking dystopian timeline is this, where a social media company has military ambitions? I was hoping for the Idiocracy version where I can get a handjob at Starbucks.
If you think of them as Oculus, it makes more sense. VR is a great training tool for things that need subjects not readily available. A good example is teaching doctors surgical practices without the need for patients or test animals (at least in initial rounds). So in that scenario, VR can he used to help save lives. In some instances, the military does the same, so why not use VR?
And then, you know, do the reverse of that, too, I guess? Ugh.
Don't let them fool you. Meta is a data broker masquerading as a social media company.
It’s the one where we died somewhere between 2016 and 2021 and this is actually purgatory, where we are being punished slowly, but without the fires of hell.
I'd argue it was after 9/11. Ppl are more than willing to give up their freedom for a false sense of security
I say it everytime... It all began with HARAMBE!
RIP
This is quite poetic. And some people still have a chance for redemption in these hard time by simply being nice, but they can't, right in front of everyone else's eyes.
Starbucks? More like Starfucks… hehehe
People should hire mercenaries to take out Meta.
The foreign legion still exists and still accepts gold.
Good to know.
I got perma banned from reddit because I said Zuckerberg is a pussy and he should shut the fuck up.
When you think about it, when reddit killed 3rdP apps, they selected against independent minded moderators. What's left isn't only servile to that company, they do it for nothing.
Now, what would you expect from an individual that fits that profile?
Well you were insulting the people spez aspires to be one day.
Someone please Nuke Meta
When your enshtification plateaus, go military!
Best way to get military contracts is hire some revolving door "officials".
🤮
Looks like Wish Version Data wants to own Hawaii after the Dark Enlightenment movement makes a play to balkanize the US.
You'd need a military to solidify your hold on territory.
Fuck Ted Faro
Fuck Ted Faro and Far Zenith.
What could possibly go wrong?
It just gets better and better.
Well, he's already wearing the same BC glasses they issued in boot camp when I was there, so I guess he's got that going for him?
He may be stupidly rich and powerful, but I'm still infinitely grateful I'm not him.
