Inverse - 🏆 The Biggest Tech Fails of 2023

If you thought the metaverse and crypto craze of the first early 2020s had already exhausted its well of hype, 2023 probably caught you off guard.

In tech, the biggest moments of the year included the meteoric rise of OpenAI and generative artificial intelligence as a lucrative concept, the destruction of Twitter and its transformation into X by Elon Musk, and a seemingly never-ending stream of layoffs as companies played at “responsibly” responding to inflation.

As the year draws to a close, let’s take a minute to revisit the biggest tech failures and product flops. So grab a drink and get comfy because we might ruffle some feathers.

Break free from the spring break crowd and experience Los Cabos in all its authentic beauty at Viceroy Los Cabos, a luxury resort on the Sea of Cortés in Baja. Designed to emphasize the surrounding area’s stunning natural landscape, the modern resort offers ample ocean views pretty much everywhere you look. Spread across 198 guest rooms, villas, and casitas, accommodations at the hotel include indoor/outdoor design, high-end amenities, and lots of natural light. Other cutting-edge resort highlights include multiple on-property restaurants, an 11,000-square foot spa, and five expansive pools.
