Facebook renames to Meta - and what is the Metaverse?

Facebook recently renamed to the name 'Meta'. Ehsan and I discuss what this means. I also talk about how I think people have missed the point of what a Metaverse is.

Zillow buys too many houses

Zillow recently has got into a little pickle - it used AI to make the decision to buy a bunch of houses and now doesn't know what to do with them. We discuss what this might mean.

What we've been reading

Ehsan talks about Goodable - an Instagram account that shared feel good articles that have become a media company. I talk about an article that I read about advertising to Generation Alpha.
