I wonder how long until we start seeing Larry Niven’s wireheads.
“Which is to say, it wants people to spend real money for make-believe goods that have no value in the real world.”
There’s a sucker born every minute.
any expensive items will be ripped within minutes of someone wearing it in a public room.
The metaverse is just trying to catch up to VRchat.
What a surprise! Well, maybe not....
Whatever happened to Second Life?
“...it wants people to spend real money for make-believe goods...”
Since the money’s increasingly make-believe, what’s the problem?
Still going with about a million users. And cheaper than this flimflam appears to be.
I was born between minutes.
Well played.
Then again, you still need groceries procured in meatspace.
What fun!
The real problem is that the metaverse will quickly become a multiverse as different providers offer different features and different prices.
It will end up being like streaming services. If you want to hobnob with Mickey Mouse, then you'll have to go to the one and only metaverse with Disney characters, etc.
Metaverse + Pod + UberSoylent = FutureLife
While they spend buckets of time in make believe land. Suckers seem to be the intended audience.
We all spend a certain amount of time and money on entertainment. “Metaverse” isn’t my thing - that would be books - but people who are already into video gaming might just shift resources.
Metaverse, NFT’s, Gold EFT’s, all sucker bait
“I was born between minutes.”
What altitude?
Yes, it makes a difference.
Zuck is an asshole , leading teams of snarky, intoletant,authoritarian assholes.
I hope a big Tiger shark.takes him in the waters off Kauai . Chomp!
It couldn’t happen to a more deserving person .
Never forget his this POS almost single handedly threw the 2020 election.
Never forget .
