Big Artificial Intelligence Spending Boosts Meta’s Cost Structure!
Meta [Facebook, FB] reported record Q1 revenue yesterday, but it was overshadowed by the billions the company is spending in its efforts to win the AI race and to try to make the metaverse happen. Investors were displeased with the company’s forecast that its spending will rise by $10 billion to support AI development, sending Meta’s stock price down 15% after hours.
Now, the metaverse is a vision of a virtual reality where people can socialize, work, play, and explore in immersive digital spaces.
But CEO Mark Zuckerberg urged them to keep the faith, saying, “We’ve historically seen a lot of volatility in our stock during this phase of our product playbook.”
