The article says 14.8 billion is how much Meta paid to acquire Scale AI, not Moltbook. The financial details of Moltbook’s acquisition aren’t disclosed.
Thanks, scrolling on lunch. Will read when home. I perfer deep reading at the computer over the cell phone.
I still get your point. Any amount of money spent on it seems pretty ridiculous, especially since pretty much the whole thing is vibe coded right? 🫠

Goddamn clankers.

Eh it might be hilarious though
Meta never acquired my VR Mansion. It was super cool.
