This is how Ready Player One should have ended. 😅

I'll never use the Metaverse.

[–] STUPIDVIPGUY@sopuli.xyz 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

neither will anybody else. it's just a worse version of vrchat and it's already dead

[–] awwwyissss@lemm.ee 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I really hope you're right. VR has a lot more long-term potential than most people realize, and if there's a corporation in charge of it it'll be worse

This goes against the whole concept of the metaverse, in metas own words "There won’t be a Meta-run metaverse, just as there isn’t a ‘Microsoft internet’ or ‘Google internet’ today". By definition, if one corporation is in charge, it's not the metaverse.

[–] STUPIDVIPGUY@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yeah that's a lie. Meta wants to be in charge. They've just failed to take the market share because the product they made isn't good

[–] FellowEnt@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

We'll see I guess, it's years away from actually existing.

[–] STUPIDVIPGUY@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

the project has already failed based on the initial release of their "metaverse" VR game. and whatever future plans they may have I guarantee they will either cancel it or release something completely underwhelming.

[–] FellowEnt@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yes Horizons is/was underwhelming, but it's nothing close to a real implementation of a metaverse.

meta is nowhere close to their speculative implementation of the metaverse either, it's just an attempt to build hype and keep investors interested until they forget about the whole thing in a few years

[–] awwwyissss@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

I don't believe for a second that Meta would produce something open and free that they didn't control and make money from

Can't wait for the sex update!

This is going the looong way around.. when a proper functioning brain-cyber interface comes about, look out.

Like in Brainstorm (1983)?

Man, I wonder how much BW first person footage of dudes jerking off does Zuck have.
