Meta, the parent company of Facebook, is reportedly trimming its workforce in the metaverse silicon division, according to insider sources.

This move comes as Meta continues to face challenges and scrutiny in the metaverse space.

The metaverse silicon unit, responsible for developing hardware components for Meta’s ambitious metaverse plans, will see a significant reduction in staff. While specific numbers have not been confirmed, sources suggest that several hundred employees may be affected.

Meta’s decision to cut jobs in this division reflects the company’s need to reevaluate its metaverse strategy and allocate resources more efficiently. The metaverse project has faced technical hurdles and mixed public reception, prompting Meta to adjust its approach.

This restructuring follows Meta’s recent announcement of a new metaverse roadmap, which includes plans for improved hardware and software integration to enhance the metaverse experience for users.

The company aims to remain at the forefront of the metaverse revolution despite the challenges it has encountered. However, the decision to downsize its silicon unit suggests a reevaluation of priorities and a desire to streamline operations.

Australia’s multimillion-dollar campaign to attract Hollywood productions to its shores appears to be paying off.

The allure of Australia lies not only in its picturesque locations but also in its competitive financial incentives.

The government offers generous rebates and tax breaks to international productions, making it an attractive proposition for filmmakers looking to maximise their budgets.

Despite the recent intake of Hollywood productions down under such as ‘The Fall Guy’ and ‘Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga’, Aussie independents are still finding the space to carve their own creative path.

Rob Fantozzi joined the program to discuss the latest in Hollywood, and showcased his own upcoming project – ‘Omerta‘. #featured

American home prices are rising at faster pace now than in the last 20-years.

A recent analysis reveals a jaw dropping surge in the cost of American homes.

Since the start of 2020, U.S. home prices have surged 47% easily outstripping the gains seen in recent decades.

On top of that, home price growth so far this decade is on the verge of surpassing all the growth seen in the 2000s.

Many experts believe this decade’s housing market frenzy was ignited by a perfect storm — the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic triggering an unprecedented rush among buyers.

Tom Hutchens, the Executive Vice President of Production at Angel Oak Mortgage Solutions joins Veronica Dudo to discuss.
