One of the snarkiest fights raging among our digital overlords is over a technology that does not yet exist: the metaverse. So in love is Facebook’s founder Mark Zuckerberg with its promise that he rebranded the company as Meta and bet his business on the idea. In spite of widespread scepticism, he has kept the faith, running up more than $27bn of operating losses in the company’s metaverse division over the past three years. This week, Meta launched a new Quest Pro headset priced at $1,500 and announced a partnership with Microsoft.
我们的数字霸主之间最激烈的斗争之一，是围绕一项尚不存在的技术展开的：元宇宙。Facebook的创始人马克·扎克伯格(Mark Zuckerberg)如此钟情于它的承诺，以至于他将公司改名为Meta，并将自己的生意押在这个想法上。尽管人们普遍持怀疑态度，但他一直保持着信念，在过去三年中，公司的元宇宙部门出现了超过270亿美元的运营亏损。本周，Meta公司推出了一款售价1500美元的新Quest Pro头盔，并宣布与微软建立合作关系。
