Zuckerberg has basically complete control over Meta, and sits on a huge pile of cash. While FB still generates a ton of profit, it's clear there is a limit to its future growth.

So, what do you do in such a situation? You look for new markets where you could become a new leader. That's probably one reason for the whole push into Virtual/Augmented Reality, which so far hasn't really shown great results for the billions poured into it.

So, what's next?

Machine Learning played a huge role in successfully putting ads into the FB news feed, so there's already some ML expertise in house. And there are probably plenty of use cases for ML/AI in AR/VR too, and AI is all the hype, so why not go there next?
