I was never a fan of facebook (the website), but i'm sort of glad they are doing this metaverse thing. Computer graphics remains one of the most exiting fields in computer science, even good old geometry is having a comeback, and we could use the funding. It's not that any other big institutions believes there is anything of value here. It may be trickle down innovation, but at least facebook created react, I'm not one of them, but a lot of people not at facebook make a good living with that. What is the last time EY, PWC, Capgemini, BCG, McKinsey, Deloitte did anything for the common man. Sure they employ together millions of engineers, and that is something, but they bill over a trilion dollars for writing reports and keeping some old linux box running [1]. Talking about resources squandered and misdirected talent, it's not something you read about in the news very often.
