The more I read about the "Metaverse", the more it sounds like hot air. I keep reading, I understand what I'm reading, but I can't really believe they're not kidding.
It's gonna be... what? A VR Second Life? Is everyone going to need Oculus glasses, haptic suits and teledildonic devices to use the internet, sorry, Metaverse?
Probably just a PR stunt, I know...

I think metaverse is already here, it's just that we need to stitch it together.
It's less about a VR / AR / silly avatar experience, more linking all your online activity into one identity, one 'verse'.
Eg, typical day: check your iPhone in morning, emails, message, qbn, news, stocks/crypto. Work -login into work systems, chat areas, scheduling. Get home and it's netflix, call of duty, instagram, porn.
At the moment those are all separate websites, unique logins and identities. What if the www web was more of a curated room/space, and you access it with one identity. That's sounding more like a metaverse.
And then it seems the ideal is to lift all of that experience off from rectangle screens, and get it more into the lived environment, via some glasses, ar + vr.
And instead of multiple logins and passwords, it'd be more like crypto, a wallet of identities, unique to you, like a set of nfts.
- The shining in light of hope though is web3, decentralised and autonomous communities.shapesalad
- How does 'decentralized' make a positive difference if it's all still manipulated/controll... by the same methods (ie bitcoin)?formed
- This all looks like Facebook's perfect wet dream - control identities, control currency, etc. It makes even more sense (for them).formed
- Personally, I don't really get 'decentralized' when it's still built/controlled by a few large/powerful players. Maybe that's just me.formed
- Yeah, I'd expect more than a little resistance to Meta being the overarching corporation over... the entire internet?jagara
- @shapesalad thanks btw :)jagara

Did they ever mention when we’d start experiencing the benefits from this? When does it launch?

Her Instagram Handle Was ‘Metaverse.’ Last Month, It Vanished.
Five days after Facebook changed its name to Meta, an Australian artist found herself blocked, with seemingly no recourse, from an account documenting nearly a decade of her life and work.

The metaverse has a groping problem already
A woman was sexually harassed on Meta’s VR social media platform. She’s not the first—and won’t be the last.- I don’t understand how they’ve managed to forget everything we learned from second life. This is like a headline from 20 years agoscarabin

Mark Zuckerberg’s ‘metaverse’ business lost more than $10 billion last year, and the losses keep growing
https://www.cnbc.com/2022/02/02/…
It also says it’ll be 15 years before their vision is realised?
So yeah, a lot of us will never see it
- The stock tanked today, -26%, lost $200B in value overnight.
Doubtful they will last 15 years lol

- You expect crypto to drop 20% overnight, not hundred billion dollar tech companies, but hey, the situation is very...metagrafician
- Zuck lost $29B personally from the drop today...

Meta adds ‘Personal Boundary’ to metaverse after ‘virtual gang rape’
Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta is adding a feature to combat virtual-reality harassment days after a woman said she was “virtually gang raped” in the company’s metaverse.
“If someone tries to enter your Personal Boundary, the system will halt their forward movement as they reach the boundary,” Meta said. “We believe Personal Boundary is a powerful example of how VR has the potential to help people interact comfortably.”
