Ok, but if you work for ZuckerDork (or anyone like him) and get laid off then I have no sympathy. None at all.
You were and are part of the problem. The end.
In fact, getting laid off is far better than what I wish for you.

I'd kind of expect more than that.
Meta's said that they're going to to be shifting focus from VR to AI.
It looks like Meta's VR wing employs 15,000 people:

Number of employees: 15,000 (2026)
Though...hmm. It says that there are some AI things under that as well, so maybe that's not all VR:
Reality Labs, formerly Oculus VR, is a business and research unit of Meta Platforms (formerly Facebook Inc.) that produces virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) hardware and software, including virtual reality headsets such as the Quest, and online platforms such as Horizon Worlds. In June 2022, several artificial intelligence (AI) initiatives that were previously a part of Meta AI were transitioned to Reality Labs.
