This is another desperate attempt by Zuck to act like he has a strategy to actually grow his company, and to prop up his stock price and create some buzz. The problem is no one is buying either.

Seriously, he lost over $80B on that stupid metaverse thing. He’s spending hundreds of billions on capex, and they dont know what to do with all that compute, so they’re renting some of it out. Maybe the rest would be used for something like this, which would take a mind blowing amount of money (storage, memory, compute). They would never be able to profit off this. There just isn’t enough of a market to monetize this. He’s just throwing more shit at the wall.

Smart glasses appear dead. Google initially tried this over ten years ago. If a company is going to succeed with a product like this, it would be Apple, but aside from the Vision Pro (which also hasn’t sold that well) I’m not seeing much from them. They’re also incredibly smart in not spending nearly as much as the others on AI, and in recent weeks as the market is growing more worried, Apple is really benefiting, and the stock reflects that.
