Seems like a lot of these Silicon Valley self-professed lovers of sci-fi pretty much always identify with the villains.

I thought the comments on the article were illuminating. Several people pointed out the the stock rout has brought the P/E to 8 from over 50, and that maybe the transition to Meta was just a market signal that the party is over, and Meta no longer deserves its highly inflated stock price. Silicon Valley has long needed a major stock price correction based on things like fundamentals. Meta was first, but will they be last? In the era of no-longer-free money, I would think not, but I’ve been wrong on the tech industry in almost every prediction I’ve ever made.
