$META has secured rights to immersive sports from major sports broadcasters
Meaning you can watch football and UFC from a fully immersive ringside view (you can choose your seat)
This is a massive deal
@MichaelPacifi20@evanspiegel this product isn’t built to go fully immersed in a NYC subway.
a product for going on the Subway would probs be the display glasses with live map directions
Zuck just introduced $META 'VR Glasses'
- 100g in weight (same as a deck of cards)
- 5x lighter than the Quest 3
- The best display Meta has ever made
- Built for Muse, which is integrated into the operating system
Zuck just launched camera-less glasses with improved audio and battery life
Glasses will be a far more diverse compute category than phones
iPhones are largely the same form factor. Glasses will be far more personal, with different designs and use cases etc

"In the coming years, I expect that $META Muse is going to grow into the personal super intelligence that billions of people around the world are going to use to accomplish their goals and improve their lives… it’s off to a great start... it's free for a huge number of tokens and, over time, we will profit by taking a small fee from transactions"

$META’s biggest revenue opportunity is taking a small cut of the value its agents create
That’s why Muse’s free tier is so generous. They want maximum volume so they can earn a small fee on purchases made through Muse and the value it creates

$META is evolving from primarily monetising people’s attention → to monetising the economic activity its agents facilitate
In <5 years, I think Meta could generate more ARPU from its agents than it does from advertising 🤷♂️
It’s funny, Meta went from having my Instagram and WhatsApp data to now having access to my email, calendar, DoorDash, Amazon and pretty much everything.
In the last 24 hours, it bought me socks, ordered my Whole Foods groceries, booked a cleaning service and got me a burger for dinner.
Meta’s last disclosed North American Facebook ARPU was around $227/year, largely from ads. I suspect it can push that number significantly higher now that it understands not only what I look at, but what I need, what I buy and what I’m planning to do.
Also the much bigger opportunity might be becoming the aggregation layer between me and the entire internet. If Meta can take even a tiny percentage of the commerce it facilitates, or of the money it saves me, this could become enormous!
It already saved me $200 by canceling subscriptions and services I no longer needed. This feels much bigger than better ad targeting. Ads are useful but giving me money back is better imo.
One additional thought: the agent is increasingly making the decisions for me. I knew nothing about that burger place. The agent researched it, told me which burger I should order, and I just said “okay” without giving it much more thought.
Agents are becoming the decision makers in both B2C and B2B. Increasingly, every business will be selling not just to humans, but to their agents.
Everything becomes B2A: business to agents.

$AMZN made ~$69B last year from ads, much of it from sponsored product listings
If agents (like Muse) browse Amazon instead of humans, those listings become far less valuable
IMO a deal between $META and $AMZN is inevitable. Amazon can’t sustainably ban agents from shopping
