My boss wasn’t forcing me to use the metaverse to produce uninspired, low effort garbage to rip off my clients. You didn’t have loser “metaverse artists” fannying about everywhere. Bring back the metaverse talk, as dumb as it was, please!
The current TechBro fetish, just like the Metaverse was, and the NFTs, and the Crypto.
When the bubble burst, which will be the next TechBro fetish?
Quantum computing. It would have already been but it still has a very nerdy, no real-world application vibe.
Well the real world application is breaking nearly all existing encryption.
Criminals and spies are going to have a field day once it becomes practical.
Only, NFTs and Crypto are relatively accessible; anyone can get in on the game. The Metaverse is a monopoly.
The bubbles are still going, BTW. Bitcoin prices are currently higher than they have ever been, thanks to America re-electing the Fascist Orangutan.
The Metaverse is the invention of Neal Stephenson in his book Snow Crash. He incidentally also invented the word cyber space IIRC.
It’s cool, I want it. Not the crap that fuckberg tries to push on people like used bubblegum but the real thing.
A shame VR makes me vomit…
I preferred metaverse talk. All of it was obviously useless nonsense that would never go anywhere. It could be safely ignored and laughed at. Simple times.
In contrast, not ALL of AI is useless nonsense. It takes more brain power to think about.
I don’t remember people talking about the metaverse except for mocking the legless mii inspired avatars.
There were a lot of ads pretending to be articles.
Metaverse 2 - now with AI!
But is it on the blockchain?
metaverse 3 will use ai 2 which is on the blockchain
