Microsoft is shelving its metaverse project, to lay off workers

Microsoft has shut down Project Airsim, an AI-based aircraft simulation system, as part of its shift in focus towards its partnership with OpenAI. The project, which aimed to teach users how to react to variables during a flight, has been discontinued and the team behind it has been laid off. This follows the discontinuation of Project Bonsai, another AI development platform, in October.
