Zuckerberg basically thinks that everyone has VR headsets in their houses, for every member of the family. (As well as computers that can run it effectively.) And even if that were the case, he's just recreating Second Life, and doing it worse, since the company that makes Second Life has 20 years of experience doing exactly the sort of thing he's trying to (re)create.  https://www.cnbc.com/2022/02/02/meta-reality-labs-reports-10-billion-loss.html https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BgCK98KudK0 How the board of directors hasn't kicked Zuckerberg out yet is anyone's guess.

I have a friend who works in advertising and had to work on a thing with the metaverse. We had like a 45 minute talk about how no one knows what it's trying to be and everything it wants to do is already done better elsewhere. They ditched that contract asap

It'll really save on my daily commute from the Eiffel Tower to that gloopy Spanish church since they're right next to each other in the metaverse. When can I upload my brain already?

It looks silly, but, IMO, we should support him on the off chance that Mark Zukerberg is that computer Basilisk thing people have been on about. Would explain a lot.

And yet the stocks are still priced at over $160, Wall Street simply refuses to let anything fail anymore because that might hurt the billionaires' fees fees.

Facebook was behind that insane pivot to video that a lot of companies made a few years ago and I can't believe they are going to strong arm this, too.

I hope they commit hard to the monetization of whatever this vr 2nd life hellscape is. To the point every action/movement you do cost 20 metabucks or whatever the hell they inevitably call the currency.

I’m an architect and it simultaneously makes me sad to hear architects talk about designing for the meta verse AND makes me start planning my metaverse design firm when I hear how much people are charging for “Homes” and “properties” that bitcoin morons are spending for a basic unreal engine level that they hope they can incorporate into the metaverse some day, whatever the gently caress that really is.

Didn't they raise the price of the only affordable VR headset by a cool hundred bucks as well? This totally feels like a Brewster's Billions scenario. Also VR Zuck looks more lifelike than real-life Zuck.

They talk about work productivity being a feature but how would working in the metaverse/vr be more productive? Genuine question. Im sure there might be some examples but not many.

Fat Dan posted:Yes it was and is well known. They dumped a ton of money into it, Facebook was caught fudging engagement numbers, content creation departments were laid off or fell apart when the talent demanded to be paid in anything other than exposure and TikTok is probably the nation's #1 news source now. Confusedslight posted:They talk about work productivity being a feature but how would working in the metaverse/vr be more productive? Genuine question.

And also one of your coworkers is a dragon. Maybe even your boss.

I know someone who is otherwise very smart and reasonable that really believes this and I cannot figure out a single way it would be better until we have hololodeck-like fidelity, not miiverse "It's the future!"

I tried out Zuckerberg's Horizon Worlds and that was the exact conclusion I reached. It looks like a kids game, is filled to the brim with kids, but it's supposed to be 18+ and used for businesses and meetings? I'll stick to second life and Microsoft teams.
