Well, they bought Occulus, so I don't credit the VR innovations to Meta, they just added the data collecting "innovation" on top of it.

Not to mention it was built on such a shoestring budget that it used stainless steel in several parts, had rivets that were not flush to the surface in places they wouldn't affect aerodynamics and used vacuum tubes on several avionics.

The last part, some tankies would want you to believe that it was stroke of genius from MiG, because tubes are less susceptible to EMPs. The truth is, the Soviet industry was so behind the west, they simply were incapable of manufacturing EMP hardened semi-conductors.

This is solid evidence for the inability of large corporations to actually innovate. They either copy smaller competitors or release crap that people don't need and never asked for, like "AI".
