I kinda want him to go for it just so I can see how it backfires.
I have not tried to follow Meta’s journey as they try to create the VR Metaverse because it superficially just seems like an obviously bad idea with a lot of funding. It reminds me of how I felt the first time I saw an ad for Google Glass - I didn’t see how it would appeal the normal person to use it consistently as it is way too intrusive.
Maybe Meta understands something about the newer generations that I don’t, and people will embrace the virtual reality world with open arms. But wearing a headset to kind-of replicate normal experiences, while giving up a good amount of your ability to sense the actual environment around you, seems just super awkward. And that’s already problematic for virtual socializing. Requesting adults to wear this for work?? I would rather just come to the office.
Yeah the trend seems to be the opposite direction. Instead of going out of the real world into a virtual one, virtual reality is seeping into the actual world.
Exactly. I will be very surprised to see the Metaverse take off. Because right now, nobody wants it, not even the Meta employees.
Meta and all other virtual/crypto trends are just capitalism creating new markets to profit from speculation.
Whether it works or not, it’s just an afterthought.
Basically professional Minecraft + VTubing
For decades, people have thought of virtual reality as a place of infinite possibility, where any experience, possible or impossible, can be had, like in dreams. Leave it to the Zuck to turn it into a fucking cubicle farm.
Zuck gonna suck
idk why but at first i read it as him helping workers hide from their bosses, and i somehow almost believed it. i hope this never takes off
