It honestly would have been way better if they just named it "Meat" and waited for the dust to settle.

Aside from his many crimes, failings and evil deeds the worst thing about Zuckerberg is just that he is the most insufferable loving dork imaginable

This was my initial take too, but it turns out it's not the usual proof of life from the boss, he presented the entire hour plus keynote. The whole loving thing!

If he wanted to make everyone feel like they were entering a new era he succeeded but in a more bodysnatchery way than intended.

You're gonna get judged for your avatar too. There is no right answer to this. If you make a boring human that pretty much looks like you then people will scoff at your lack of creativity. If you make a robot or a cat girl with glowing purple eyes people will scoff at you for being immature and attention seeking.

Well, it's a solution to JIT at least?

There is no solution to JIT because the losses made now by shortages will be covered by the rising prices.
Like prices are high now because there's no availability but they're not going back down once there is. Now that the market proved you could have a higher price point.

You doing to me now

But after a while people will get tired of doing the avatar judging themselves and they'll write a highly-sophisticated machine learning algorithm* to do it for them.

* The algorithm will consist of a few hundred lines of python and will serve only to reinforce all of the programmer's own biases. Bugs and exploits in the lovely code (e.g. if your avatar is exactly 1023 pixels tall, an off-by-one bug means it always gets a top score on "cultural fit") will be regularly found and occasionally even patched. None of this will shake the faith of anyone using the algorithm, because it's an algorithm which means it can only produce objective, quantitative truth.

i feel like children killing children has been a thing popping up semi-regularly in the UK for a good while, like 30+ years

It happens rarely all over Europe. Been a bunch of talk about it during quarantine as mental health services are extremely overcrowded.
