Meta Buys Yet Another Bloody AI Startup – Because Why the Hell Not?

Well, those corporate bastards at Meta have done it again. Apparently lighting stacks of cash on fire isn’t exciting enough, so they’ve gone and bought Manus, that overhyped AI startup everyone’s been frothing about. The deal? Some undisclosed pile of money so big it could fund a small moon colony. Because clearly, Zuck doesn’t have enough toys cluttering his virtual playpen.

Manus, those self-proclaimed “AI geniuses,” have been fangirling over their advanced generative AI tech that supposedly “redefines human-computer interaction.” Christ on a circuit board. What it really means is Meta gets to bolt even *more* creepy, data-sucking algorithms into its already Orwellian metaverse projects. Because what the world obviously needs is a flipping smarter way for Meta to track how much we blink while scrolling through their ads.

Meta says this acquisition will “accelerate innovation” and “enhance AI experiences.” Translation: expect more bullshit product demos where Mark Zuckerberg grins like a malfunctioning android while pretending the future isn’t one long surveillance session. Meanwhile, the Manus team are surely toasting their “dream exit,” cackling maniacally as they teleport their profits straight into the nearest tax shelter.

So yeah — the AI arms race continues, and Meta’s gearing up to own your brain patterns next. Welcome to 2026, where every keystroke and fart noise is fair game for “optimization.”

Reminds me of the time I “acquired” a coworker’s shiny new laptop after he left it in the server room. Told him the system “auto-integrated” it into the network. Integration, my arse. I just formatted the sucker for parts. Ah, synergy.
