The Journal noted that a third bot, called Gavin, “made misogynistic remarks, including a lewd reference to a woman’s anatomy, as well as comments that were critical of Zuckerberg and Meta but praised TikTok and Snapchat.”

Post said investors will be focused on whether the company’s VR progress justifies Meta’s “unprecedented” spending on development of the metaverse, which he estimates will be $18.4 billion in 2023, as well as progress on luring developers to the platform. Another focus, he said, will be whether AI innovation could boost engagement or ad targeting on Meta’s social-media platforms.
