I think he's just incompetent at running such a large company. He got lucky with Facebook, and that success masked his incompetence. Now that the landscape is shifting, his incompetence is becoming apparent. He dove head-first into the so-called metaverse and even renamed his company for it. That was a bad bet. Now he's followed the rest of the idiots into AI, and isn't handling it as well as them. Doesn't matter, the whole thing will come crashing down. Apple is the only major tech company that held back and that's looking like the right move, now.
It will be interesting to see who is left standing in a couple of years. Well Meta shrink back to only Facebook, or will the damage be too great and the whole company dissolves. With Mark at the helm, I'm betting the latter.
Facebook/meta was very early in the "AI" space. They built lots of tools and models being widely used right now. Just look at their popular github repos, faiss, SAM, vision transformers, visual embeddings, core ML libraries, all very essential components of many ML systems.
Saying facebook "just" dove into AI is wrong, facebook has been there from the early days along with Google (and probably some more) in building the very foundations these stupid LLMs "thrive" on
